About Jupiter
Who are Jupiter Cub Pack?
Jupiter are one of three Cub Packs based in Biggleswade, (we also have Mars and Neptune). All three are slightly different because we have different leaders and different cubs. Therefore before you pick a pack to join you should visit as many that fit in with you for the day of the week, to see which one you enjoy the best. All three follow the same basic methods, so you will not find much difference in the things you will do as a Cub. You may already know people in a pack which will make you feel a little less nervous when you start. However it is normal to be a bit nervous when you try something new, but all the leaders and cubs are very friendly and you will find that you will soon be enjoying the world of Scouting.
Jupiter meets once a week on Wednesday nights from 6:45 to 8:15 following the school term. We don't meet in the summer holidays but you may get the opportunity to go on a camp in the summer holiday.
On some occasions, such as St.Georges day, (St.George is also the patron saint of Scouts) and Rememberance Sunday, Cubs are expected to attend parades.
Membership also requires a subscription payment every half term for the purpose of insurance and running cost.
Voluntary help
Biggleswade Scout Group are a registered charity and therefore without the continued voluntary help and support of leaders, parents, carers and the local community we cannot continue to provide Scouting to young people. If you believe you have the time and skills that can help us, please talk to a leader or contact us through the contact email button on home page.
Leaders
The Group is also keen to recruit new leaders. In todays very different world this can be very rewarding; helping schools, parents and carers mould young people to meet their full and best potential, giving the young people the opportunity to do and learn things they might otherwise not get the chance to do.
If you have experience as a leader, within the movement or a similar organisation, or just believe you have the abilities to become a leader, maybe you have been considering giving something back to the local community but did not know how to get involved; maybe this is the right opportunity for you, then please contact us.
After an initial CRB check you will begin an excellent training programme that will provide you with the training, information and tools necessary for the role.
