Tips
-
Cubs can choose from a wide range of activities, and they should get a say in what they do. All of your activities should be accessible for everyone.
-
Any activity based on being outside counts for requirement two – you can even do an activity indoors, so you can get stuck in whatever the weather.
-
There are lots of different ways to be active – the choices are almost endless. You don’t have to be a sports star; there’s something for everyone, whatever your ability or level of fitness.
-
You don’t need to be an expert to help Cubs have an adventure – you may not even need a permit.
-
A hike doesn’t have to be especially difficult or long: a simple walk
