The Wolf Pack
offers an exciting variety of creative activities to spark any Wolf Cub's
imagination. Wolf Cubs are encouraged to try new and more challenging
activities, promoting wholesome personal development. Scouts Canada
believes that children learn by doing. Wolf Cubs activities encourage
children to discover and understand their world through play and adventure.
Becoming a Cub
Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities
like canoeing or kayaking are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures
that Cubs enjoy. With the Cub
motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cubs are encouraged
to try new and more challenging activities. Learning important first aid
skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp
will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought
possible. Cubs also
experience an exciting variety of other activities: games and sports,
model-building, music, story-telling and play-acting. And like Beavers,
Cubs enjoy their adventures with their friends. Scouting is
a family-based organization. Activities we offer, plus the value and skills
we provide, are aimed at supporting your efforts to teach your child what
is needed to become a well-rounded person. Your personal involvement is
important to help reinforce the lessons your cub learns.

How Packs are organized
Wolf Cubs join teams known as Sixes, of 6 or more Cubs. A number of Sixes make up a Cub Pack and have a mix of older and younger Cubs. Sixes are led by a Sixer and an Second who provide leadership and guidance. Come and meet our Sixes, Sixers and Seconds of the Green (Wolves), Blue (Scorpions) and Pink (Bats) in the Wolf Pack.
"Akela" , the name of the old wolf, is the leader of the pack. Other leaders take a "jungle name" such as Bagheera (the panther) or Baloo (the bear). Your pack may also have a "Kim" -- a Scout who works with the Cubs. Kim is another Kipling character. Older Cubs are sometimes invited to work with a Beaver colony. Each Cub helper working in a colony is called "Keeo" after a character in the Beaver book Friends of the Forest.After learning a bit about Cubs, your child will become ready to become "invested", or formally welcomed into the pack. You will be invited to attend the "Investiture Ceremony" to help welcome your child into the Cub pack.
