Scouting is an organisation designed to allow young people to learn new skills, make friends and enjoy spending time outdoors. There are different sections for different age groups, ranging from 4 to 25 years old. The Cubs are for children aged 8 to 10½. Some of our activities include camping, fire lighting, cooking, model making, science experiments, community projects and many, many more. Scouting is for everyone, so just let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We encourage you to try out a few sessions before fully committing!
1st Little Heath Cubs meet from 19:00-20:15 every term-time Tuesday. We are currently based at North Mymms hall (in Brookmans Park) whilst we rebuild our scout hut . We will keep you up to date with everything via our WhatsApp group.
We will regularly ask for parent helpers to allow us to keep a safe ratio of children to adults, so it’s appreciated if you are able to help occasionally (but we don’t require it). It’s a great opportunity to see what your children have been getting up to!
The Cub group is run by Wayne Nash (Akela) and Kat Pearson (Shere Khan) with help from regular volunteers Jeanette Power and Clive Miller. We are always in need of additional helpers — so please let us know if you’re able to help out at all.
Please get in touch with us using the Contact Us page.
