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.

Curling Competition
On the 9th of February 2010, the Cubs held the
District curling competition. Ten teams from all around the District
took part which ended in only 10 points between all the teams.
In true Olympic fashion medals were presented at the
end of the event with the 1st Tynemouth getting gold, the 18th Tynemouth
A team getting silver and the 6th Tynemouth A team getting the bronze.
Thank you to everyone who took part and to those who
organised it.
There are more photos of the event on the photo page.
