What: CUB-O is a timed orienteering event at Camp Sid Richardson, where over 1,500 cub scouts use a map and compass to find waypoints across 2,000 acres of land. Each den forms a team, and the team that find the most waypoints in the least amount of time wins! It’s fast, exciting, and FUN for all scouts.
The locations of 40-50 orange and white orienteering flags are marked on the map and you and your team will hike to find them – or most of them! Each flag has a code that you’ll write on your scorecard. Flags are worth from 5 to 30 points, depending on how hard they are to find. Your Den team will get a Cub-O competition map and plan a hiking strategy to find the most flags and score the most points in just 2.5 hours!
This is a council sponsored event, so you MUST pre-register at the Longhorn council website.
Due to the staggered times, each family will be responsible for their own meals. Here is a great how-to guide for campfire cooking that Dominic prepared (Thank you Dominic!): https://5bd20ea5-c67a-4a16-ae05-5bf194f5aec5.filesusr.com/ugd/70a1a2_5cfdb21f39454c5886a0ae23367e4122.pdf
