What is Cub Scouting?
Our Cup Pack is for boys and girls aged 8-10 1/2.
You can enquire about spaces on our contact page.
We meet at the BP Shell Scout Centre on a Thursday between 6.00 and 7.30, although in the summer term (Easter – July) we meet at Willesley Campsite between 6.00 and 8.00.
Our team of volunteer leaders have many years experience amongst them. We are always looking for help from adults, all of whom are CRB checked and who must complete the Scout Association’s award winning training programme.
Presently the leadership consists of:
- Andrew Leake (Akela/CSL)
- John Leake (Scout Fellowship)
- Stuart Spare (ACSL)
- Mark Porter (ACSL)
- Dave Porter (Helper)
- Scout/Explorer Scouts on placements.
Parents with specific skills or hobbies are encouraged to give a little time to share this with the children.
Some useful links for you:

- Where to sew the badges! (Note, we do not have a group badge and our district and county badges are sewn above one another rather than alongside as illustrated).
Subs Review
Dear 4th Ashby Members,
Thank you for the great attendance at the recent AGM; it was very pleasing to see the parental support.
We are pleased to inform you that 43 votes were submitted for the Subscription payment method, and the resounding favourite was monthly standing order, with 30 votes.
As well as discussions on subscription, rent etc at the recent committee meetings, we have also been working towards standardising banking for the group, and opening a new account. Unfortunately, this has turned out to be more bureaucratic than we had first hoped, and we will not have the new account up and running for the 1st of June. Rather than have standing orders set up for one account, and then change them a month or two later, we would like to ask everyone to start with the new £9 a month subs from the 1st of June, but to pay by cheque or cash until the account is set up. At this point, we will issue a letter to everyone with a standing order form to complete.
The leaders and committee appreciate your understanding in this matter, and would ask if the first £9 cheque/cash can be paid the first week back after half term, Thursday 4th June, in an envelope with your child’s name on. The next monthly payment due will be Thursday 3rd July, by which point we will hopefully have more news for you.
Thanks again to everyone who voted and attended the AGM.
