Cub Scouts in Singapore follow a common Scout Promise and Law unlike the Wolf Cub era when they have a separate set of Cub Promise and Law. Cub Scouts are grouped in "Sixes" distinguished by coloured Turk's head woggles, where they are led by a "Sixer" and an "Assistant Sixer".

It involves being awarded the Gold Boomerang, attending a series of outdoor activities, two pack councils, 4 x Level 2 Achievement badges with one from each of the different categories, a Special Interest Badge
