PLACEHOLDER — replace with a real quote from our Cub Leader. Cubs is where they start taking the lead — planning, building and pushing themselves a bit further each week.

You don't have to be Bear Grylls

Tea-makers, idea-havers, garage-rummagers — we'll find you a job that fits.

For as little or as much time as you can spare. Most of our volunteers are parents who didn't think they'd end up here either.

Common questions

The stuff parents always ask.

+ What does my child need to bring?

Just a water bottle and weather-appropriate clothes for the field. Uniform comes after the first few weeks.

+ Is there a waiting list?

Sometimes. Sign up anyway — we'll tell you straight away where you stand and roughly when a place is likely.

+ My child has additional needs — can they join?

Yes. Always. Email us first and we'll have a chat about how to make it work.
