Three members of the Lower Burdekin Scout Group are on their way to Samford Village to take part in a major four-day Cuboree camp, joining around 1,200 Cub Scouts from across Queensland.
The group departed via Townsville Airport ahead of the event, which will be held at Baden-Powell Park and is set to feature a packed program of activities designed to be adventurous, fun, challenging and inclusive.
Today marks the start of on-site preparations, with subcamps taking shape as participants arrive. Tents are being set up and bags unpacked, ahead of tonight’s opening ceremony, which will officially launch the four-day program.
Organisers say the Cuboree is an important highlight on the Scouting calendar and a strong way to kick off Queensland Youth Week, which formally begins on April 11. A total of 804 Cub Scouts are expected to take part in the event, which will showcase a range of outdoor and team-based activities.
For the Lower Burdekin participants, the camp represents an opportunity to connect with Scouts from across the state while taking part in large-scale, structured activities not available at regular weekly meetings.
The Lower Burdekin Scout Group meets each Thursday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at 12th Avenue, Home Hill, and continues to welcome new members interested in joining the program.
The Cuboree will run over four days, with organisers promising a busy and memorable experience for all involved as thousands of young Scouts come together at one of Queensland’s premier Scouting events.
