What a way to wrap up Cuboree 2026!

Our First Geelong Cubs have braved the wet and muddy conditions, tackled plenty of adventures, made new friends and, most importantly, had an absolute ball! 🌧️🌿

Five days away at Gilwell Park is a pretty big adventure, and we couldn’t be prouder of how our Cubs embraced it all — rain, mud and everything in between. 💚

Well done Cubs! What an experience and some great memories to bring home. 👏⚜️

🥾 Great effort from all our Cubs and families who took part in the Region Cub Scout Hike on Saturday! 🌿

From the shorter 6km walk through to the full 14km circuit, it was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, challenging themselves and enjoying the amazing coastal scenery around Anglesea. A big effort from all the Cubs who tackled the tracks, hills and kilometres with great spirit throughout the day 👏

Thanks as well to all the leaders, parents and volunteers who helped make the day such a success. Plenty of tired legs by the end, but lots of smiles and memories made along the way! 🌊☀️🥾

🌅 Lest We Forget – ANZAC Day 2026

This morning, our 1st Geelong Cubs and Scouts proudly attended the ANZAC Day service at the Leopold War Memorial.

It was a special moment seeing our young people represent the group so respectfully — laying a wreath, standing in silence, and taking the time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served.

These are the experiences that help shape resilience, gratitude, and a deeper understanding of community. We’re incredibly proud of how they carried themselves today.

A big thank you to the leaders, families, and wider community who came along to support.

Lest we forget. ❤️

🎉 What a way to wrap up the term for 1st Geelong Cub Scouts! 🐺⛳

Last Tuesday night we headed down to Curlewis Golf Club for a brilliant evening of mini golf, laughs, and a bit of friendly competition 🌅

The Cubs had an absolute blast navigating the course, cheering each other on, and (of course) celebrating plenty of hole-in-ones… and a few creative attempts along the way 😄

A special congratulations to Eva, who achieved her Grey Wolf Award 🐺👏
This is the highest award in Cub Scouts and a fantastic achievement that reflects her commitment, resilience, and growth – we’re incredibly proud!

We topped off the night the best way possible… with cake 🎂 and celebrations all round.

Moments like these are what Cubs is all about – building confidence, friendships, and lifelong memories in a fun, supportive environment.

👉 If your child is keen to get outdoors, try new things, and be part of a great local community, we’d love to hear from you.
