In the Start Up Kit:
The Beginner's Guide
Explains what Cub Scouting is and provides essential information. It also points you in the right direction for more information and highlights several important policies.
Programmes to Go
The programme section of the kit contains a year's worth of programmes for you to run as well as a listof the equipment you will need to run them. These activities have been tried and tested by experienced Cub Scout Leaders, so we know they work and that
you and your Cubs will enjoy them.
Appendix
This Appendix has been put together to help you now and in the future. Many of the items can be photocopied and used to help run the activities in Programmes to Go.
How to use the kit
We would recommend you read through The Beginner's Guide first and then refer to the other parts of the kit as and when you need to. Remember you are not alone! There are lots of people who can help you out and give advice. Copies of Pack Essentials, Pack Programmes, Scouting Essentials and the Printforce publications mentioned in the kit are no longer available free of charge. They can be purchased from the Scout Information Centre.
