The Devonport Cub Pack is run by a team of warranted leaders who have undergone training with Scouting NZ, with the assistance of Programme Activity Leaders and parent help. We run an active and diverse program and do bike trips, mini-hikes, local history walks, visits to Fire Stations and Rescue Helicopters; campcraft, cooking, orienteering and compass work, knots, pitching and striking tents; creative pursuits, lots and lots of fun games - as well as emphasising the fundamentals of Cub Scouting. The Cub Scout motto is 'Do Your Best!' The values of scouting are expressed in the Scout Law, which is:

Have Respect
Do the Right Thing
and Be Positive

Cubs is for boys and girls from Yr3 through to Yr6 and all Cubs are required to wear the scout uniform and at investiture are given a Scarf and Woggle to show that they belong to the 1st Devonport Pack. New Cubs need to get a Cub Shirt and we carry stocks of these at the Scout Den.

We place a lot of emphasis on the Cubs acquiring skills through the completion of Personal Interest badges. all of which enhance a sense of respect and self-discipline and enhance their self-esteem. We participate in the annual Devonport Santa Parade and take part in the Devonport ANZAC Day Service and do several community service activities throughout the year including our annual Litter Clean-up at North Shore Utd soccer club.

We also take the Cubs to stay at our Bach on Rangitoto Island which is a highlight for many of our experienced Cub Scouts.

Fees are payable at the start of term but new cubs have three visits to find out all about it before investiture, so come along and try it out and see if you like it! Scouting is a three-way relationship between the parents, the leaders and the child and all parents are required to make a contribution to the group, whether it is attending meetings as a parent help, sewing the scarves, joining the committee, helping with fundraising etc and your role in the group is one of the things we discuss when we meet.
