1st Hilton Cubs & Scouts Group

Three days, 21 Cubs and Scouts and a whole lot of wind, water and courage.

Sailing gave our children the chance to be scared, challenged, independent, responsible for one another — and incredibly proud of what they achieved.

This is why we do what we do at First Hilton Cubs & Scouts. We put children into real experiences where teamwork, resilience and confidence aren’t taught — they’re lived.

What an incredible three days. ⚜️

What I love about Scouts is that the learning never stops when the activity ends.

Whether it's building a fire, completing a hike, learning a new skill, or working as a team, our Scouts are encouraged to reflect on what they did, what went well, what challenged them, and what they learnt about themselves along the way.

What we ask of our 11-year-olds in the Scouting movement develops far more than practical skills. It builds resilience, confidence, responsibility, and the ability to keep trying when things don't go according to plan.

These are the foundations that carry them through their senior primary years and beyond. The adventure is important, but the growth that happens afterwards is where the real magic lies.

What do your kids do on a Friday late afternoon and evening?

Last night, while many children were heading home to screens and couches, our Cubs were climbing trees, learning to make fires, cooking dinner on conservation stoves, and spending time outdoors.

After a week spent in classrooms and on sports fields, they got the chance to do something children have done for generations—explore, create, problem-solve, and play.

This is what Cubs and Scouts is all about. Building confidence, resilience, practical skills, and a love for adventure, one Friday evening at a time.

So, what do your kids do on a Friday late afternoon and evening?

This is what the scouting movement does so well.

It creates space for young people to step up — not someday, but now. We often hear parents say, “My child is spending too much time on screens.” And yet, the real question is…

Are we giving them something better to step into?

Because when children are placed in the outdoors — in real environments, with real challenges — something shifts.
They hike further than they thought they could.
They carry their own gear.
They cook their own food.
They solve problems.
They lead.

And they come home saying, “Wow… that was amazing.”
That’s not just a weekend away.
That’s resilience being built.
That’s confidence becoming real.
That’s friendships deepening through shared challenge.
At 1st Hilton Cubs & Scouts, this is exactly what we are creating.
Not just activities — but experiences that matter.Because if we want less screen time…
we need to offer more real life.

As the leader of 1st Hilton Cubs & Scouts Group , my heart feels incredibly full when I get to hike with our Cubs — just 7 to 10 years old.

This weekend, they hiked 7.5km up to a forest cabin — carrying all their own belongings on their backs.
They pitched their own tents.
They cooked their own food.
They sang around the campfire.

And then… they hiked all the way back down.
And honestly… how incredible is it to watch 7–10 year olds rise to a challenge like this?

Not a single complaint. Not one.

Just little humans stepping up — stronger, braver, and more capable than they even realise.

And maybe what fills my heart the most…
is the parents.The ones who trust the process.
Who walk alongside the journey.
Who allow their children to be challenged, to get tired, to grow.
Because this… this is where it happens.
Confidence. Resilience. Independence.
My heart is so, so full.
