Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities like canoeing
or kayaking are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures that Cubs enjoy.
With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cubs 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.
Cubs also experience an exciting variety of other activities: games and sports, model-building, music,
story-telling and play-acting. And like Beavers, Cubs enjoy their adventures with their friends.
1st Elmira Cub Pack meets Tuesdays at 7:00PM (Some weekend events) at the John Mahood School.

Fisherman's,
Reef and
Bowline knots.
All these knots are also described in your Cub Book page 101.
Earning Badges at Home
Q: How can a Cub earn badges at home?
A: Pick a badge you want to work on and read the requirements carefully.
Some badges require you do all the requirements and some badges you only have to do some of the requirements.
As you finish each requirement, have your parents initial and date your Cub Book.
When you are done, tell your Six you are ready to do badge testing and a leader will ask you questions to see what you did.
Yes, it is that easy!
Tips on Placing Badges on Your Sash
Q: Where do badges go on my sash?
A: There is a diagram in your Cub Book showing the placement of badges. From the top:
Cub Individual and Pack Specialty Badges
Q: Can a Cub earn more than one of these badges?
A: Yes! A Cub may earn a new Individual Specialty badge once a year and a Pack may earn Pack Specialty badges once a year.
Computer Badge
Q: Looking for ideas for 7b) design a new badge or crest?
A: How about an "Elmira Maple Syrup Festival" crest, a "1st Elmira Link Camp" crest, or a "6 Star" crest?
Badge Colours
Q: Why do some badges have a blue background when most others have a yellow background?
A: Cub badges are different colours so the badges look better. Can you imagine a fish jumping out of a yellow background. Yuck! The background colours have no other purpose.
