CubJam 2009
Hi Cubs
In 2009 3rd Hampton Hill Cubs are planning on going to CUBJAM. This is a Cubs only Jamboree held every 4 years, this time at the Scouting World Headquarters in Gilwell Park. There will be about 2,000 Cubs on site and the theme for the whole event is “CARNIVAL”. There will be three different carnival sub-camps, Notting Hill, New Orleans and Rio De Janeiro. We’re currently assigned to New Orleans, but this may change.
The dates are Saturday 23rd to Friday 29th May 2009, basically the May half term week.
We’ll be putting out full details of the camp in September, but for anyone wanting to take a sneaky peek, have a look at the CubJam website.
They are also running various online competitions with prizes so why not have a go over the summer sometime? All the details of these are at http://www.cubjam.org.uk/09/competitions.php
There are wordsearch, badge and acronym competitions, Wend and Jon have already had a own go with the acronym, we came up with:
C ubs
U ndergo
B athing,
J ust
A bout
M anage
The winner last time was Cubs Unite Bringing Joy And Magic. We know which one we prefer….!! 
We should point out that only Cubs that are still Cubs in May will be able to go on this camp, so a few of you that will have moved on to the bigger and better world of full on Scouting won’t be eligible to go. Sorry about that, you’ll have to make do with Scouts Easter Camp instead, cooking on open fires and more adventurous fun stuff that we can’t do in Cubs!! We’re also limited to a maximum number so make sure you register as soon as possible when the time comes if you are able to go.
Cheers all, have great holidays and see you in September.
Jon and Wend
