Cuboree Badge

Cuboree 96

Cuboree 1996 was organised by Cornwall County Scout Council and was held at the Royal Cornwall Showground at Wadebridge in July.

The camp included Cub packs from Cornwall and Devon area, as well as group from further afield in the British Isles.   Four Groups attended from our district including ourselves (91st), 18th, 63rd & 209th who all were blended in with some 3000 other cubs into five subcamps which were all named after cornish castles, Tintagel, Launceston, Star, Pendennis & Trematon.

We were part of Star sub camp and took part in different activities each day
