Cuboree Update 3

Membership Cards

Every Leader, Scout, Venturer and Rover attending Cuboree is required to take their current Scouts Australia Membership Card with them as their ID. These cards were reissued recently – if you did not receive yours, contact your Group Leader ASAP.
Please note: This rule does not apply to Cub Scouts – ID tags will be issued for them and all non- members of Scouts Australia working at Cuboree.

Coaches

By now, everyone must have received an email from David Spears, confirming their preferred method of transport to and from Cuboree. Check the details carefully and contact David if an error has occurred. The coaches are booked and timetables set – do not contact David to complain about pickup or drop off times. We understand that many Packs have very early return journeys, but nothing will be altered so close to the event and we just have to cope with the timetable. Speak to your Pack Coordinator if you have a real issue about coach travel.

Independent Travel forms

All IT forms should have been completed and forwarded to me by now. If you or your child are not travelling to or from Cuboree by coach, then you are required to complete one of these forms for each person travelling independently. Don’t just presume, that if you are working at Cuboree and staying back to dismantle a camp or an activity, that you will automatically be driving your child home. You need to advise Cuboree HQ that your child will not be on the coach. This will help avoid any delays, while the Coach Captain searches for someone whose name is on the manifest – but never had any intention of being on the coach!

Early set up of camps

Everyone going to Cataract to help set up camp on Sunday January 5 and not staying overnight – is required to let their Pack Coordinator know their name and the registration plate number of the car they will be driving. The Pack Coordinators have to compile a list to give to the organisers, so they know who will be on site for the day and allow them access through the gates of Cataract.

Update On-Line applications

It is very important that you log back in and double check all the information on you or your child’s application forms - especially the medical page. Your Pack Coordinator has special Medicines List brochures that you can use to list all the medications your child takes and details specific times, dosage etc. essential for the Leaders who are going to be caring for your children.

Head Lice

Please check your child’s hair very carefully the week before Cuboree – this will give you plenty of time to treat their hair if necessary.

Cuboree merchandise

Time is running out to pre-order your souvenirs. Give your order and money to your CSL or Pack Coordinator ASAP, to avoid disappointment.
