1st Kengray Meerkats
Meerkats is Scouting's programme for our youngest members. Through play and exploration, children start learning the foundational life skills and Scouting skills that they will build on for years to come.
The Meerkats meet at our hall in Highland Road, Kensington, every Friday evening. When a Meerkat turns 7 they "burrow up" to join the Cub Pack.
Friday evenings, 18:00 – 19:00
1st Kengray Cub Pack
Cubs is the start of the great Scouting adventure: playing games and having fun while learning new skills.
Our Cub Pack meets at our hall in Highland Road, Kensington, every Friday evening. Meerkats burrow up to Cubs at 7, and when a Cub turns 11 they move up to join the Scout Troop.
Friday evenings, 18:00 – 19:30
A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens.Robert Baden-Powell
