The Victorian Cuboree is held every three years at Gilwell Park during the September School holidays. Gilwell Park is a campsite and activity centre for Scouting groups in Victoria, Australia. The 250 acres (1.01 km2) property is located on both sides of the Launching Place Road, Gembrook.
We now need to set our sites on the 8th VICTORIAN CUB CUBOREE which will be in September 2014.
To be eligible to attend this great event, you must be:
a) a registered Cub Scout
b) born between 1st Oct 2003 and 26th March 2007
c) must hold the Cub Scout "Camp Out Badge".
Further news will become available from the leaders shortly. Meanwhile, start getting excited!
The Countdown is on:

And some of the Cubs have even more excitement to look forward to, as they will also be eligable to attend the 2013 Jamboree! Cubs can start dreaming of an action-packed trip as Scouts to. ~ Maryborough, Queensland! Read the Jamboree news on the scout page to see what Scouts get up to!
The 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...
- Wait 4 years for the next Cuboree in 2014 (which will mean that some cubs will miss out on going)
- Hold Cuboree in 2 years and then 2 years again (which would put a 2012 Cuboree just three months before a Jamboree)
- Hold Cuboree in 2011 and then stay on a three year cycle (This was chosen as the best option.)
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.
The words to the CUBOREE 2011 theme song were..
(Words Nick Bywater & Mark Hopkins / Music Mark Hopkins)
One sunny day we were riding on a bus,
Going to cuboree with all the other cubs.
Akela came aboard, and began to say
Ready everybody, let get on our way!
We're off to Cuboree,
And we're all going to have so much fun
We're off to cuboree
Going to play, in the mud
We're off to Cuboree
Gonna make heaps of new friends
It's Cuboree Seven
Time for the adventure to begin
Survivor, Wild West, & Safari Oz
Entermazement, Bucaneers sound like so much fun
We'll make some new friends, and have lots to eat
We're gonna have a ball and maybe get some sleep
Cuboree Seven
So good I hope it never ends
Cuboree Seven
Making loads of brand new friends
Cuboree Seven
Even had a shower and it was hot
Cuboree Seven
The best Cuboree of the whole lot
