This year we are celebrating 100 years of Cubbing worldwide! Many Cubs, parents, Cub Packs, Scout Groups, Districts and Regions have had fun whilst remembering the impact Cubbing has had on their lives . We spoke to Oarabetse Legegeru (9) from 5th St. Peter’s Cub Pack in the Free State about the joy that is Cubbing.

Cubbing is so much fun because we go hiking and we go on awesome camps.

There isn’t really anything weird. Everything we have cooked with our Akela was nice!

The toughest challenge for me is hiking.

By being a Cub I learnt about first aid, drawing, singing and also how to paint.

As I am a Messenger of Peace, I gave food and blankets to people in need.
SSA: What did you teach your mum that you learned at Cubs?
I taught my mum songs that I had learnt at Cubs.
