Within the Cub Pack, our Cubs are divided into groups called Sixes - Grey Six, Red Six, Brown Six, Tawny Six and Black Six.

The colours for our Sixes are taken from the names of some of Mowgli's 'brother' wolves, in the "Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling.... Grey Brother, Red Fang, Brown Tip, Tawny Fur and Black Plume. Another is White Claw.

 

Our Sixers wear this badge on their left pocket.

...and our Seconds wear this badge.

The Sixers and Seconds could be termed the foremen of the Pack, there to assist the Leaders with the smooth operating of the weekly program. However, they're not junior Leaders, so they're still there to enjoy Cubs and have fun!

Scouting has progressive Youth Training, starting in Cubs with Sixers and Seconds and moving on through Scouts, Venturers and Rovers.

Some areas where Sixers and Seconds can help are shown here. These are just a guide and often based on what the Leaders need the Sixers and Seconds to help out with.
