It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes. Being outdoors is important and half the programme is given over to taking part in both the traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking as well as the wide range of adventurous activities, anything from abseiling to yachting. Scout Leader; Matthew Bareham Tuesdays 7:00pm-8:30pm There are loads of fun things that you can do as a Cub Scout.
