Chances are that if you are here then you are in some way interested in the World Wide Scout Movement. As the name suggests we are the 9th Group to open in Pretoria (Opened in 1921) and we are situated in the Irene suburb. The Scout Movement is not just another youth club or youth organisation. It is a way of life and a head start for young adults heading out into the big bad world. Scouting aims to grow those who pass through it's doors mentally, physically and spiritually using a programme that has been perfected over 100 years. The programme is as effective today as it was in 1907 when Scouting started. In 1999 we were placed 97th out of 100 teams at Kontiki, in 2000 we rose to somewhere in the 50's, in 2001 we were somewhere in the 20's, and in 2002 we won Kontiki! Since then we have consistently been in the top 10 teams at Kontiki. The Cub pack is run by 2 uniformed and fully qualified adult volunteers, and numerous non-uniformed helpers. The Cub pack is split into small teams known as sixes, each six has between five and eight boys of various ages. The most senior boy in the six is known as the sixer and is the leader of the six. The Cubs work toward numerous interest badges as well as four advancement badges. Each advancement badge is more challenging then the last.
