T
he 7th VICTORIAN CUB CUBOREE Theme was: “The Adventure Continues”
at Gilwell Park (scout camp) in Gembrook, Victoria, Australia
Monday 26th September to Friday 30th September 2011.
“The Adventure Continues” as Cub Scouts were able to get lost in the giant maze and be entertained by the various stunts at Entermazement, headed on over to the Buccaneers Academy to learn how to be a pirate, visited Tombstone town at the Wild Wild West, they needed to grab their binoculars to go on Safari Oz and of course no Cuboree could run with out the carnival fun of Cherry Lane. Each night there was also an exciting new stage show.
In attendance were 2,103 Cubs, and around 900 Leaders, Parents, Rovers and Venturers.
Note: The decision to hold the 2011 Cuboree so soon after the 2010 Cuboree was based on agreement that September was the best time for a Cuboree, and that it should not come too close to a Scout Jamboree. There were several choices in how the date could be adjusted…
The decision to hold the 2011 Cuboree means that all cubs were able to go to a Cuboree, with some lucky enough to attend two.
