The website talks about the age at which you're allowed to participate, to and from. It also states all of the different promises from participating religions, ranging from Buddhists to Atheists. Most faiths take part in Cubs as its a global community/network. Each Cub has their own uniform but the design is the same throughout different countries, even tho the jumpers maybe a slightly different colour all of the badges that the cubs collect are the same. This makes it much more of a challenge to work as a team to collect them all, it all depends on the activities that your group takes part in to achieve these. Even though the badges are the same in different countries, each pack wears the same coloured scarf this shows a sense of community ( I plan to film at 2nd Gorleston Cubs group for my documentary, their colours are yellow and green).
The image above shows what the cubs uniform looks like, the Membership badge (Purple Badge) is the most important badge of them all. Every Cub around the world has this badge, you receive the badge when you're first invested into scouting.

Scouting was first started in 1908 by Robert Baden-Powell, after completing a camp at Brownsea Island. Baden-Powell's ideas came from visiting the British Army in South Africa. Cubs was later started in 1914 as boys were trying to sneak into scouts but were unfortunately too young, so 'The Boys Scouts Association' started a scheme to ensure that these younger kids could join in. Baden-Powell decided that he wanted the Cubs to be much more independant and exclusive, so in 1916 he decided to name the age group 'Wolf Cubs'. These younger scouts did very basic pioneering and knot tying, a way in which he made Cub scouts more independant from the normal scouting tradition was by speaking to a close friend Rudyard Kipling who wrote the Jungle Book. Baden-Powell wanted to have a cross correlation with Cubs and The Jungle Book, this meant that every leader gained a name from the Jungle Book characters, and only the leader of the group would be called Akela.

In October of 2013, Bear Grylls visited Great Yarmouth, whilst the cubs were competing the Wiltshire Trophy. This event happens every year but this one was a little bit more special for the cubs as Bear visited. The reason this is so big for scouting is because he is in fact the current Chief Scout. The Chief Scout is the head of the Scout Association this means he is in charge of any changes that will happen to Scouting across Great Britain.
