Dillybags: This should be a cloth drawstring bag as plastic bags will not last for the week and the plastic does not allow damp eating gear to dry properly which can lead to health risks.
Bedding: It is preferred that the Cubs take a lilo or camp stretcher to put their sleeping bag on rather than a foam mattress. There are advantages and disadvantages with each type but if the weather is wet a foam mattress will soak up water / condensation which will result in a wet / uncomfortable Cub Scout. If a lilo is taken, Cub Scouts must also have the facilities to inflate it. Some lilos are self-inflating or are easy to blow up - others aren�t. A Beanie is recommended, as a lot of heat can be lost through the head. Wearing a woollen beanie at night can minimise this and help keep a Cub Scout warm in bed.
Health Forms: Please ensure that all health forms are returned before the end of term. The forms must be returned to your Leader before the end of term or, if you do not have one of your own Leaders attending please return it directly to your Pack Akela.
Carry Bags: As the Cub Scouts will be travelling by bus the Cuboree organisers have suggested the Cub Scouts use a suitcase. Please do not use the striped plastic carry bags as they will not last the duration of the camp. Cub Scouts should pack their bag themselves under supervision of a parent. This way they will know what they have and where it is. (Remember that your child will need to be able to carry it!).
District Badges: One popular activity among Cubs and Scouts at large events is
swapping district badges. Cubs can swap badges with friends they make from other Packs and
add to their camp blanket collection. |

No spending money, radios, pocket knives, electronic games, or mobile phones. If any of these, or other items considered inappropriate, are found, they will be confiscated for the duration of the camp and returned to the Cub Scouts parent afterwards. No responsibility will be accepted for any money or valuables. No lollies are to be brought - If any are found they will be collected and shared with the whole Pack. |
MEDICATION must be clearly marked with Cub Scouts� name and dose and handed to the Leaders before departure. Cub Scouts are NOT to carry any medication without the leaders knowledge. Please ensure that details are included on the health form. |
BED WETTING: We quietly and discretely deal with this occurrence on camp. Even if your child is an occasional bed wetter, there are a couple of things that we ask you to do:

ScarvesWe have finally received our Cuboree scarves which are Dark Blue. You will receive your scarf on Tuesday morning. The scarves will be named for you since you won't have a chance to name them yourselves and with 60 identical scarves in our Pack we don't want them mixed up. ID Tags and PassportsID Tags and Passports will be distributed after arrival at Gilwell Park. |

SixesAt present we will have eight Sixes, each under the care of a "Line Leader". Minor changes are still being made to the Pack so the Cub Scouts have not been allocated to Sixes yet. We intend to keep Cub Scouts with members of their Home Pack. Sixes will be announced upon arrival. |

Gateway As with all good campsites we will be having a gateway which provides the entrance to our Pack's campsite in much the same way as a front gate or door at home. The finished nameboard for the gateway is shown above. Click on the picture to see a closeup.

Word FindThank you to Fiona Grima for providing this 2002CUBoree wordfind. You will need Acrobat PDF reader to open it. I hope you've had better luck with the Wordfind than I have - I suspect there are a couple of "G"s missing to the right of the right hand column. Possibly a couple of the words are hiding there too. |
