Encompass Update Article - August 2011


Cuboree ‐ The Magical Mystery Tour planning has started visit Cuboree website to keep up‐to‐date. Will your Cub Scouts be ready, make sure you and your Pack mix with other Packs to get used to different Leaders and Cub Scouts.

The Cuboree will be held in Rockhampton from 23 – 27 June 2012, each Pack will be transported to Seeonee Park by the Magical Mystery Bus. They will pick up their Cuboree Pack members along the
way, enjoying activities?titiees and excitement on the journey.

Cuboree Packs will be accommodated in Sub Camps:

  • C – Crocodile – Grey (caring and creative) led by Alan Fleming
  • U – Unicorn – White (unique and understanding) led by Gary Hansen
  • B – Bear – Brown (brave and big) led by Allan Mortensen
  • S – Serpent – Red (special and smart) led by Sallie Fletcher

Activities will be provided onsite as well as this year we have an offsite activity and all coordinated by our experienced Branch Advisor John Mills (he is also supporting me in my role as Camp Chief!)

  • C – Camelot – led by Maree Leschke
  • U – Utopia – led by Ian Rub
  • B – Blackbeard’s Base – led by Peter Thompson
  • S – Sherwood – the Scout base

As well as our Roving Minstrels that will keep us entertained and on track led by Ben Bawden.

There will also be a bus activity coordinator and Mark Dowseti is running the transport side of this Cuboree, a large job so we will need to ensure we get applications in as quickly as possible to assist with management of this project.

The other important difference in this coming Cuboree to note is that applications will close with the second
payment date, last year we allowed way too many late applications and it created difficulties for administration and processing.

This year I will not be so kind – sorry but my team need time to coordinate Cuboree clothing, transport, catering and resources. So get your applications in quickly – so your Pack does not miss out!

The Cub Scout has until the beginning of Cuboree to achieve their eligibility so applications can still be sent through by the 1st payment.


We already have started to receive them so don’t hold back!
