Cub Scouts (Scouting Ireland)

Cub Scouts should be given more responsibility and more say in the running of the programme. They should spend more time working in small groups and making decisions as a team. Each Six will have a long term leader (Sixer) and assistant leader (Seconder). Every Cub Scout should have a job to do In the Six and they should be given more responsible jobs as they progress. The Sixer’s Council should meet periodically to chat about bigger issues or topics and to guide the direction of programme. Scouters should ensure that each Cub Scout is given the chance to take on additional responsibility as they develop and the chance to act as the leader of a small group on a regular basis.
