Cuboree is a camp for all Queensland Cub Scouts aged nine and ten years. It is held for six (6) days and five (5) nights during school holidays, every 2 years.
Activities and challenges relate to the theme and are based on some of the Silver and Gold Boomerang Challenges.
This is a great opportunity for the Cub Scouts to attend such a fantastic event held in their own state. As with any large activity or event there are guidelines and this camp is designed for the older Cub Scouts to assist them on their Scouting journey.
Cuboree has a payment plan comprising three instalments to assist with budgeting for a large event.
There are four full days of activities (including some off‐site activities) utilising the Cub Scout Award Scheme and many chances for fun and friendship for both Youth Members and Leaders.
Cub Scout Leaders support the Youth Members attending along with Leaders from other Sections, plus some older Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rovers assist with activity bases, transport, catering, security, welfare and the myriad of tasks involved in such a big event.
The Cuboree Executive Committee are dedicated volunteers that often are in full-time work and hold other Scouting roles so the best way to gather information is to regularly visit this website or contact the team via info.cuboree@scoutsqld.com.au
The major components of the Cub Scout Award Scheme are the Bronze, Silver and Gold Boomerang badges. To earn each of these badges, Cub Scouts must complete at least ten challenges under the guidance of Leaders.
Cub Scouts can set challenges for themselves to earn Achievement Badges from the areas of Arts and Literature, Nature, Science and Technology, Sports and Recreation, and Our World. There are also a number of Special Interest badges.
Grey Wolf Award: This is the pinnacle of achievement in the Cub Scout Section. To earn the Grey Wolf Award a Cub Scout must hold a Gold Boomerang badge, participate in a minimum of four outdoor activities and attend two Pack Councils in the previous 12 months, complete four Level 2 Achievement badges (one from each category) and one Special Interest badge, and develop and present a resource for the Six or Pack based on the Cub Scout's understanding of The Jungle Book.
