welcome to the HOME OF 1ST HENLEY SCOUTS AND CUBS

Cubs is the building blocks for your Scouting career. It’s a time to escape from your normal routine and have a ton of fun while learning to explore your inner side that you never knew existed. When you are of the age to depart from the Pack you will be filled with a wealth of knowledge and know how to explore nature and love nature for what it is. “We don’t stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing” Author unknown.

The scouts motto is “Be Prepared” and this is what one starts to learn in scouts. Scouts is about learning more skills, working in a team, advancing to higher levels at your pace. There is no more holding hands and doing things for you, you now have to learn to do things for yourself and this means lots of mistakes which gives you lots of experiences. It’s about taking younger scouts under your wings and teaching them the way of scouts. As scouters, we will always be there to help and guide you but won’t be giving you the answers as you are now grown up enough to start finding out the answers for yourself. Have fun, get dirty, meet new friends, improve your skills, appreciate nature, find ways to help your community and become the best person you can be as a scout.
