Off to Cuboree

Cub Scouts and their leaders from First Woy Woy will converge on Cataract Scout Park in Appin with 3000 other cub scouts for a four-day camp from January 9 to 13.

The Cuboree is for Cub Scouts aged between eight and 11 years from across NSW.

For many Cubs, this will be their first experience at a camp this big, which requires them to camp under canvas, cook for themselves and participate in activities.

"Children should be having fun, pushing their boundaries and learning in a new and exciting way, and mums and dads can be secure in the knowledge that it is all being carried out in a safe environment," said Scouts Australia NSW chief commissioner Mr Grant De Fries.

The Cuboree takes two years to plan and is entirely run by volunteer leaders, who have donated their skills, time and energy into developing youth.
