Cuboree Information

The main site is here.
I would really like everyone to make an effor to attend.
I think it will be pretty cool -- 800 +cubs celebrating 100 years of cub scouts.

Q & A

Q: Where will we sleep?
A: In tents. The leaders, cubs, and parents will all be on the group site.


Q: Who does the cooking?
A: We do. There are no provided meals. The leaders and cubs will do the cooking and clean up for our group.


Q: Can parents come?
A: Yes. It's not a problem. There is some minor paper work -- 3 forms: Hold Harmless, Physical Fitness, Code of Conduct. The main thing is we have to know to make sure we have enough sites and gear.


Q: What about equipment like tents, stoves, pots, dining shelter?
A: We will be using the 1st Manotick gear. We have lots so no one needs to bring a tent (unless they want to).


Q: What should the cubs bring?
A: We will make detailed list, but the following will give you an idea:
  • sleeping bad and pillow
  • mattress or sleeping pad (optional)
  • lots of spare clothes
  • running shoes and boots
  • rain gear
  • warm sweater and jacket
  • blanket (optional)
  • camp chair (optional)
  • camera (optional)
  • card / board games suitable for travel (optional)
  • flashlight and / or head lamp
  • badges / crests for trading

Q: What is the cost?
A: There is a cost of the camp and for the food. However we will subsidize it with the A-Pack funds. I won't know until I add up the numbers but I am hoping for around $20 for the weekend.


Q: Can we carpool?
A: Yes. Details will follow when we figure out who is going.
