Seeonee Park Cuboree 2012 Planning Weekend - Day 1


With 9 months until the start of Cuboree 2012 and as you can appreciate there is a lot to organise. As a result seven members from the Cuboree 2012 Planning Committee, who were able to attend, headed to Seeonee Park, Rockhampton to inspect the site and begin drafting a site plan for the event. The team was headed up by:

· John Mills (Activities Leader),
· Tim Giddings (Logistics),
· Sallie Fletcher (Sub Camp Leader – Serpent),
· Alan Fleming (Sub Camp Leader – Crocodile),
· Ray Fletcher (Security),
· Ian Rub (Activities - Utopia).

· Robin Howard (Sub Camp Administrator – Bear), and
· Stephen Hughes (Communications).








We all arrived around 6:30pm on Friday and as a start-up activity we all headed to the Glenmore Tavern in Rockhampton. The one thing about travelling outside of Brisbane is they know how to serve up really good meals. Most went for the pizza’s and struggled to finish. Other had the steak – seeing how we were all in the Beef Capital of Australia, and they were very good.

Once done, the team headed to Seeonee Park to settle in for the night. But true to tradition the team were put through their paces to look at nominating some Cub Scout Leaders to become Sub Camp Pack Leaders. The Sub Camp Pack Leaders will be responsible for the care and welfare of up to 24 Cubs and this may include cubs from their own group pack, plus one or two other group packs from around the state. The Pack Leader will coordinate with up to 2, possibly 3, other assistances. This role is seen as a key link in helping coordinate the daily routine and provide a line of command for the Sub Camp leaders.

With so many good leaders from around the State, and with only 24 pack leader positions available, the task is not an easy one, and one that will possibly change until invitation letters are sent out.

So that closed out the day. Day 2 will see planning go into full swing.
