Cub Scouts (Ages 8-10)
Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities like canoeing or kayaking are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures that Cub Scouts enjoy.
With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cub Scouts are encouraged to try new and more challenging activities. Learning important first aid skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought possible.
Along the way, Cub Scouts learn how to take care of themselves and work as a team – and most importantly have a lot of fun!
ACTIVITIES
The Cub Scout program focuses on six activity areas: The Natural World, Outdoors, Creative Expression, Healthy Living, Home and Community and Canada and the World. Activities include:
-

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE SKILLS (OAS)
The Outdoor Adventure Skills program is an invitation for Scouts to try something new—to be outside more, testing themselves with progressive challenges while remaining within their capabilities to stay safe. In short, it’s about having life-changing experiences.
Each Outdoor Adventure Skills pathway is divided into nine stages with a badge awarded for each stage; however, the purpose of the OAS program is not the badge. Rather, the Outdoor Adventure Skills should be seen as tools to support the Plan-Do-Review process—for example, organizing an activity that matches the level of skills that the participants have, or evaluating the amount of growth a person experienced in a particular skill set they wanted to expand on.
PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT BADGES (PAB)
As Cubs, we explore the Jungle with help of characters and settings from The Jungle Book. Explore the Program Areas as you learn more about the different Personal Achievement badges you can earn as a Cub.
PERSONAL PROGRESSION BADGES (PPB)
The Canadian Path is all about developing well-rounded individuals by encouraging youth to participate in a wide range of activities. Scouting is not about collecting badges. The badges of The Canadian Path are used to celebrate the personal journey of youth in Scouting. They mark the milestones of the journey and celebrate youth achievements. Working on Personal Progression Badges allow youth to further develop individual interests and skills, allowing their development along The Canadian Path to be recognized as part of their growth and progression.

Scouter Tobiah (Bagheera)
Since 2013, Tobiah has been volunteering with 15th Lethbridge as a Scouter, but he has been involved with summer camps for over thirty years as a camper, camp counselor, and counselor trainer. Tobiah has tons of experience and ideas about exploring nature, camping, music, and art- his campfire songs are quite a spectacle! Tobiah is also a teacher, and he has taught learners of all levels from kindergarten to adults. He works for Alberta Health Services creating online learning. Fun facts: Hawkeye plays the guitar and banjo, and even makes his own cigar box guitars! He is an avid geocacher. Tobiah loves to search for travel bugs and log caches while travelling with his boys. They have even planted a couple geocaches of their own around Lethbridge.
Scouter Dan (Akela)
Dan joined us as a volunteer in 2021, but he is not new to the Scouting program. Dan joined 15th Lethbridge as a youth and enjoyed Beavers all the way up to Venturers! We are excited to have him come back as a volunteer, bringing his knowledge and enthusiasm to the program.
Scouter Travis (Malek)
Scouter Malic (Travis), joined 15th Lethbridge Beaver colony in 2021 with his son, becoming a leader in 2022. Scouter Malek has a childhood history with the Ranchlands 186 Scout group in Calgary and has many fond memories with the scout group, including CJ ‘01 in PEI. Scouter Malic makes his career as a technician in the heavy truck industry. His hobbies include horses, fishing and just about anything in the great outdoors as welling as spending quality time with family and friends.
Scouter Susan (Rainbow)
Susan is new to Scouting, joining the 15th Lethbridge Beavers in Fall 2022; however, she was previously involved with its sister organization, the Girl Guides of Canada, for over 20 years. Now that she has two sons, she is exploring Scouting with them. Susan is passionate about sharing new ideas and experiences and encouraging young people to challenge and improve themselves. That’s a big part of what led her to teach chemistry at the University of Lethbridge, where she recently won the UofL Excellence in Teaching Award. In her spare time, Susan loves board games, baking and musical theatre. And if you’re ever in need of a silly song, she probably knows just the right one.
