SA Cuboree - last day

Today was the last day of camp. While we weren’t up as early yesterday, it was still another early start

This morning saw us complete three activity bases before lunch. They were certainly interesting and he cubs had a lot more fun today.

However, the activity bases were over way to quickly and the cubs had their last meal together before heading to the closing.

Tents were dismantled, farewells made and lots of tired cubs were collected by their parents. Many were looking forward to a hot shower and their own beds, but they were certainly glad they had been and had a great time with the many activities on offer. 

Cuboree - day of setting up

Today was warm, but a lot of work took place to ensure the site was set up before the onslaught of cubs arrived on site. Tents were put up after campsites were laid out and boundaries were established.

The Cubs started to arrive late afternoon and were very excited to be on site. Energy levels were high. Long energetic walks around Woodhouse were done to try and take some of the edge of the energy levels.

All were in bed, but sleep was a long time coming. Although, none of the Mawson Lakes Cubs heard the claps of thunder that went off directly overhead at just gone midnight (Akela was returning from a much needed shower at the time). It was certainly something to hear and experience, especially as it echoed throughout the hills.

Overall the day went well. Here’s hoping for a good weekend.

Arrival on site for cuboree

Today Wilbur and Akela headed to Woodhouse for the Cuboree. It was gone six by the time we left home, after a long day of doing the food shopping.

We arrived at Woodhouse and sorted the food. The cubs weren’t due on sight until Friday evening, but Akela needed to be up there early to help set up the tents, and other bits and pieces.

 But it was a good chance to relax before the onslaught of 1,300 Cubs on site.

Shopping for Cuboree

What a day! Akela and I have been all over the place buying food for Cuboree. It is going to be a huge weekend and I am sure that all the Cubs will certainly be well fed. This was a HUGE shopping expedition! I am certainly looking forward to going up to Camp this evening.
