Youth Member information - Cuboree

What is it

3,000 Cubs, Leaders and support people (Parents, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers) camping for five days in January 2014. The camp has a theme of “Once upon a time”

Costs

$250 for Cubs, $200 for Leaders and adults.

50% payment BY YOUR GROUP due by 31 May

Registration process

The registration process is on-line. When you finish the registration and submit your forms, print out a hard copy, sign them and give to your Cub leader.

There is an on-line guide to registration, available from the link below.

You will need a soft copy of a photo (Passport style) to upload to your .

A couple of hints:

  • You must register as a user – half way down the initial sign on page. You will then be sent an email to confirm you are registered as a user. The site says this could take 20 minutes (not the case for me but something to be aware of).
  • Your password must have a Capital Letter, a number, a lower case letter and a special character (!, @, etc)

You can save page by page (if you have entered the mandatory information), meaning you can complete the form over several sessions.

Special diets

There will be no raw eggs used at the Cuboree.

Special diets for medical reasons will require a Medical Certificate.

“Brand” requests cannot be accommodated.

Independent travel

Travel to and from the Cuboree will be by bus, with a local pick up point. In extenuating circumstances, the organisers will allow ‘Independent Travel’ (ie, being dropped off or picked up). This is subject to approval by the Cuboree organisers.

Pre Cuboree (“Shakedown”) camp

Shakedownis a one night camp prior to the Cuboree. It is compulsory for all in the Cuboree pack (Youth, leaders and helpers) to attend. This camp allows finalization of gear, review of pack dynamics and making of banner. Only Cuboree participants can attend.

The date of the Shakedown will depend on which pack you are in and dates are scheduled for late October / early November.

Parent Helpers

We need parents to help with cooking / run the mega activity bases. It will not be possible to come and go, so a commitment for the five days is required. Talk to you Cub Leader, who has more information.
