Seeonnee Cubs
Due to 100% attendance in meetings, activities and camps and for all of the badges he completed away from Cub meetings achieving a record for our pack the century - Junior Thornton
Over the past 12 months, this Cub has grown into his role as a sixer and led by example. He is always willing to help and support other Cubs with the activities and games and assist the leaders with any jobs that need doing. Well done Isaac Bridge
A keen Cub Scout who always tries hard takes part and encourages others
Samuel has grown as a Cub Scout and has been kind to the new Cubs as we meet again at Willesley. Well done on a big contribution!

- 2019 - Toby Lawson
Toby has been an awesome cub. He always works hard does his very best in everything and is keen to help others when they need assistance. Toby has been a great asset to the pack and it has been our pleasure to get to know him and see him develop into a confident, kind and helpful cub scout whose smile and sense of humour will be missed when he moves on to Scouts.
- 2018 - Jack Bunney
- 2017 - Joseph Harris
Joseph has taken part in many Pack activities but has really stepped up since being a sixer
Our cub of the year is based on a points system for attendance, behaviour and helpfulness. This years was a very close and came down to St George's day parade where this cub was the only 1 out of 30 Seeonnee Cubs that attended.
Fred's attitude is first class, he tries hard and takes part in all activities.
For attendance, participation, behaviour and leadership.

Waingunga Cubs
This pack opened in 2013
The Cub of the year has grown in confidence, quietly getting on with the task in hand and encouraging others to behave. His skills and knowledge have grown and although now (just in scouts), our Cub of the year is Samuel Roberts.
The trophy goes to a Cub who is always enthusiastic about whatever task. He always offers to help others and has excellent manners. Our Cub of the Year is Alfie Burrows.
Riley always comes to each week with so much energy and enthusiasm. He is polite to all members of the pack, caring towards new members and always so keen to teach other group members when they need help. Riley is a sixer, he sets example behaviour to those within his group, and pack. In addition, Riley always attends meets outside of Tuesday evenings and recently has attended St George's Day and the Calke Abbey Walk, showing a very keen interest in Cubs and working towards his Silver award before moving up to Scouts in September.
This member has been an active part of 4th Ashby for a few years he started at Beavers and will shortly be moving on to Scouts, where we at Waingunga hope he will continue to flourish.
During his time at Waingunga he has shown wonderful life skills and proved to be a very active and popular member of the pack with both leaders and peers.
He is always engaged, he listens, helps other Cubs, is kind, polite and always try’s his hardest.
He is the first to be standing ready to start the lesson and he will be the first to help other younger Cubs when they are struggling.
That’s not to say he finds everything easy over the weeks he has struggled with certain tasks but will ask for help and remain resilient.
He knows his strengths and is happy to accept help when needed. This Cub has also thought of ways of benefiting the whole group and it was him who approached the leaders and asked if we could do a Cub of the week certificate. He not only suggested the idea but took responsibility each week turning up with another certificate for us to present.
As you move on Benjamin Robbins to Scouts we at Waingunga will miss you and hope you continue to enjoy your scouting journey.

- 2019 - Leon Bealing
This Cub has had an impressive attendance record this year. He shows up to the weekly meeting always full of enthusiasm. He is kind to his fellow Cubs and often encourages other members when they are reluctant or nervous. I remember him saying to one Cub “You always have to try and give something a go. You won’t know if you like it or not if you don’t try”. Another occasion he showed empathy for a Cub who was scared of the dark on a night hike and stayed with his friend and supported him.
He is polite and respectful to all. He attended Twycross, Fox Coverts this year as well as canoeing and sailing and did all activities with his usual infectious enthusiasm.
What this boy doesn’t know about dinosaurs isn’t worth knowing and he taught the leaders a few facts while on camp.
All the leaders from Waingunga Cubs believe Leon Bealing should be the Cub of the Year.
Sam is always willing to participate, has a great attitude and is always well turned out. Not only that, but he shows great leadership potential with his kind nature towards his fellow Cubs.
Joshua has been nominated again as he continues to be a first-class cub scout. He takes part with enthusiasm and good cheer
Joshua who was invested into Waingunga whilst on a Victorian cakewalk has consistently shown scouting values and is developing good leadership skills. He always puts maximum effort into activities, is amongst the first to pitch into help and is often among the last to leave making sure that equipment is put away. Although we have a fantastic cub pack and all deserve recognition, The Waingunga team have all put Joshua Pearce forward for this award and all wholeheartedly believe he deserves the Waingunga cub of the year award.
I was able to rely on Patrick being a team captain and to help to organise others with consistent great behaviour.
Abigail has always been very dedicated to Cubs, taking part in all Cub pack meetings as well as all other activities offered to the Cubs. Her attendance, manners and lovely personality are outstanding and she is a great asset to Waingunga cubs. Abigail is a very determined and committed young girl who puts 100% into everything she does not just at Cubs but at home and school as well
Riki-Tikki-Tavi Cubs
This pack opened in 2019 and closed in 2020.
- 2020 - Not Presented
- 2019 - Jacob Stroud
You don’t have to be loud to stand out and shine & this cub certainly shines the brightest in 2019. He is quietly confident, eager and happy to please others, a good team player and valuable asset to Riki-Tikki-Tavi cubs. We would like to honour Jacob Stroud with this award.
Scout of The Year
Discovery Troop
Over more recent years, there is a citation, and this is shown below the name where we have it.
This Scout is always among the first to sign up for any event, turns up with a smile, checks in on younger members and applies himself with enthusiasm for everything he does. Keep it up Kaelen Payne.
Over the last year, this scout has shone, often leading the patrol that gets things done. She’s determined and competitive yet at the same time caring, looking after and leading the rest of her group all the time. We are delighted to present Felicity Goodwin the discovery scouts’ Scout of the Year trophy.
All of the Leaders and Young Leaders selected Noah as their Scout of the Year due to his continuing sense of enthusiasm, positive approach and always supporting other Scouts.
This Scout motivates any and all of the Troop. She applies herself well to the activities, shares a sense of fun and is kind and helpful.

- 2019 - Patrick Boxall
Patrick has, throughout his time at Scouts shown a sensible attitude and is kind to others. He has made huge progress as a patrol leader, overcoming some difficult characters. It was noted how well he mentored younger members of the troop. Well done Patrick.
Evan’s “go get them” attitude impressed the leaders this year as well as his friendly manner and his willingness to help younger Scouts.
Sam has impressed the leaders over the last year, especially at camps.
Abi is a delight to have as a scout, she gives everything she is asked to do her full 100% with her cheery attitude even if she is suffering from her latest injury.
For his politeness and good behaviour on troop nights, trips and out in the community
Yazmin always gets stuck in and not shy to try new things, loves attending camp. A nice scout who will do anything to help others.

Challenger Troop
The Challenger Troop was restarted in 2021.
A great leader, keen helper (at Scouts and with their Dad), takes part, tries hard and just gets on with things. The Scout of the year is Caitlin Randall.
The Scout of the Year for Challenger Troop is always polite and kind. He has participated in everything from the expedition challenge to the archaeology sessions at Willesley. He’s helped settle new members into Scouts and been a calming influence during other activities, even when difficult. A well-deserved recognition of Leon Bealing.
- 2022 - Oscar Jones-Capell
Oscar is polite, enthusiastic and kind to others. His help with the Christmas Post over a number of years was particularly noted.
This Scout always tries hard, takes the lead and helps others.
During lockdown she completed very many activities to make good progress with the badge scheme.
