Tynemouth District Scouts - Sections

Cubs Logo

In 1914 'Junior Scouts' were announced and in 1916, they became 'Wolf Cubs'. In 1966, as part of a modernisation plan, a number of sweeping changes were introduced in preparation for the years ahead and the Section became known as Cub Scouts.

New proficiency and training schemes were introduced and the Cub Scout Law and Promise revised. Following an update in the early nineties, the Cub Scout Section has changed again within the introduction of the new 6-25 programme. Girls have been joining in the fun and challenge of Cub Scouting since 1991. Cubs wear a green sweatshirt and a 'group' scarf (shown below).

With a fresh new image, cartoon mascots and an exciting and balanced programme of activities, the Cub Scout Section is as strong as ever. There are currently some 142,589 Cub Scouts in the United Kingdom.

County Peel Award

This years County Peel award took place on Saturday 19th of November at Plessey Woods.

The District was represented by the 3rd Tynemouth and the 1st Tynemouth who were the winners and runners up in the Norah Roberts competition (see above).

We didn't win the county competition this year, which is based on badge work, however the 1st Tynemouth came 3rd and the 3rd Tynemouth came 6th which are both excellent results.

Well done everyone who took part.
