In preparation for Cuboree, Unit E437, along with other Cuboree units from South Metropolitan Region, will be holding a "shakedown" camp. The purpose is to get to know each other and to get a taste of what Cuboree will be like.
NOTE this is a "compulsory" Camp for Cuboree Attendees. It is very important for Cub Scouts to get to know the Leaders and vice versa. Leaders can also see how the Cub Scouts interact and who shows Leadership qualities etc.
We can also check our gear and give the Cubs a sense of what our site will look like at Cuboree. IF you are unable to attend for a very good reason please discuss with Jacquie Stratford BUT we would encourage EVERYONE to make the effort to at least come for the day on Saturday.
Our unit comprises of Cub Scouts and Leaders from the following Groups;
- 1st Balmain
- 1st Leichhardt
- 1st Drummoyne
- 2nd Abbotsford
The Leaders are:
- Jacquie Stratford, Unit Coordinator (1st Balmain)
