for all Cub Scouts and their families.

Games, and activities for the whole family.

General Information

All Packs must check in before Saturday, the 20th, before 10:00 a.m.

Campsite setup and registration opens at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, the 19th.

CUBOREE Staffing

We are a volunteer organization! The Cuboree is organized as a co-operative venture among the participating Packs from our District, with event support from our Troops. Each Pack is expected to provide some type of assistance. We need help to staff parking, registration and events. The District volunteers will provide planning, organization and supplies. The ranges are always popular, and extra support is needed. Rangemaster training will be held Friday evening.

Camping and Parking

All cars must be parked in the main parking lots. Parking in other areas is not permitted. Each car MUST have a paper with a Unit ID on the dashboard; these will be issued at check-in. Due to limited parking space, carpooling is encouraged. Please see the Check-in and registration guidelines page. NO RIDERS IN THE BED OF TRUCKS OR TRAILERS

Camping will be by Pack and in an assigned campsite. Due to the size and participation in this event, it will be necessary for packs to share a campsite. Please refrain from roping off your camping area. DO NOT bring an axe, hatchet or chain saw to this event. Tent camping only, no campers or RV's will be allowed in the camp.

Each unit is responsible for their own meals. Please be sure to bring carrying containers for water. Use of gas stoves and charcoal should follow BSA policies and guidelines. Bring your own TOILET PAPER AND TRASH BAGS. Radios, boom boxes, two-way radios, guns, fireworks, sheath knives, PETS, and alcoholic beverages are not allowed. Fireworks and firearms are prohibited. All BSA and Bay Area Council campground policies must be followed. Camp K policies can be found at:

Make sure all campfires are out before retiring for the night and before you check out on Sunday. A fire check will be made and you will be awakened to extinguish the fire if no one is tending it.

Be prepared for the cool and/or wet weather.

EACH SCOUT MUST HAVE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT FAMILY MEMBER OR

GUARDIAN ACCOMPANY THEM TO CUBOREE ACCORDING TO THE BSA

GUIDELINES. The entire family is encouraged to enjoy the experience.
