Welcome to 2012
Happy New Year everyone.
2012 will be a big year. We are planning an extra camp, plus the annual May Cub camp, Regional camp (Nov) and Cuboree.
We also have Air Activities planned plus some different ideas and outings.
We kick off on January 31 and this will be a happy and sad time. We get some new cubs and we send some older ones off to Scouts.
Keep a watch out in the coming weeks for emails and calendar updates. After a nice long break getting back into the swing has been a bit of a challenge, but now is the time.
Rikki, Dingo, Rama, Raksha and Grizzly will be running the show for the first two weeks, while Bagheera is away for work commitments.
See you all in 3 weeks.

McDonalds Fundraiser Night
On November 8, Beenleigh was invited to McDonalds Beenleigh to have a pack night and fundraise for Cuboree 2012.
Between 5:30pm until 8:00pm, a portion of the sales were to be donated to our cause. We would like to thank Stacey and McDonalds Beenleigh for allowing us to have so many cubs there and take up a one section of the restuarant.
The cubs were tasked with 5 bases,
+ knot tying
+ making poppies for rememberance day
+ making invites for grandparents to come along for a night on Nov 15.
+ road sign bingo
+ woggle making.

The Cubs were also treated to a McHappy meal for attending, which was put on by the Cub Leaders.
They all had a heap of fun, and I know Stacey and McDonalds were very pleased with numbers that showed up (25+).
I , for one, am proud of our cubs and I know the other leaders were too. Yes we can be noisy but the behaviour of our cubs is why we are being asked to attend community functions. I had some friends come along they were surprised at how well they behaved, considering the numbers we get.
Well done cubs you have earned the thanks and appreciation. We are still awaiting thw final numbers on what was raised. But McDonalds are keen for us to do it again.
As for our section it is really important to be out in the community and showing what we do and how well we do it.
Thanks to Grizzly and Rikki for organising the night.

If you provided assistance with fundraising you will be portioned fundraising money. Once it.is all finalised.I will provide the details.to.you as to what is left to pay.
The deadline of November 2 is fixed and if not in you will likely miss out.

Cuboree Fundraising
Our Cub pack is in serious need of your assistance to help raise moneys to be able to send 23 of our Cubs to Cuboree in Rockhampton 2012. We have come up with ideas for fundraising and need your support and help to implement these ideas to ensure that no cubs miss out on the fabulous experience of Cuboree due to financial difficulties.
Starting from immediately we are asking all Cubs to take a small change bag and ask people to donate their small change ie. 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c pieces. This will be an ongoing mission and once Cubs have collected coins they can deposit them with the leaders. We will be keeping a tally of change collected and there will be a prize for most change collected.
Other events planned for 2011 for fundraising are:
11th August BBQ at Office Works – Loganholme
18th August BBQ at Office Works – Loganholme
3rd September Car boot Sale and Car Wash to be held at the Beenleigh Den
17th September Themed Movie Marathon Night at the den
24th September Casino Night
1st October Grandfinal Weekend and Bathurst at the Den
8th October Pine Wood Derby
15th October Ladies Night at the Den
29th October Halloween Disco
12th November Market Day at Beenleigh Markets
3rd December Warehouse Shopping Tours
4th December Car Rally
As you can see it will be a very busy couple of months and we need all hands on deck. If you are able to assist with obtaining donations for prizes at Den nights, washing cars for the Car wash or any other items including general organising, it would be really appreciated. We would truly love to raise sufficient funds so no parent would need to pay for their child to attend Cuboree.

Cuboree 2012 Update
Cuboree 2012 is only 13.5 months out. The event will be June 29 to July 3, 2012 and will be held at Rockhampton. The theme is 'Magical Mystery Tour'. For your cub to attend they must be:
<ul>
<li>9 years to 11 years at time of Cuboree starting</li>
<li>Have completed Silver Boomerang</li>
<li>Attend 2 camps with a minimum of 2 nights away from home.</li></ul>
Based on this, 90% of the cubs in Beenleigh will be eligible to attend, but it is up to them to ensure they acheive their Silver Boomerang Badge.
I have been advised that the price will be around $350 per cub to attend. This will include transport to the event and home again. The bus trip is one of the many activities they will participate in, as they will have set tasks to do for every pick up they do along the way. The trip is estimated to take 10 hours.
At Cuboree 2010 we had 13 cubs attend and 5 helpers. We expect that again for Cuboree 2012 based on the numbers we have, and the cubs that can qualify for Silver Boomerang status. Our programs are centered on Boomerang work, but we expect the cubs to bring along their Yellow Books each week to ensure they get things signed off. No book, means reduced chances of getting to Cuboree. We do however register who attended but the Cubs have to take ownership of getting badge work signed off.
As a result of the costs, we need to fundraise to help bring down the impact for everyone. This event is one the Leaders have to pay for as well, there are no exceptions. Fundraising last Cuboree saw most cubs get some discount off the event. For Cuboree 2012, we have to complete with Scout Jamboree Fundraising, as a result it has been decided Cubs will fundraise from now until End of Year, to ensure we do not cut into each others fundraising needs. The following Cuboree Fundraising events will take place, I encourage you all to get as many people to come along as the money raised will benefit your cub.
Events:
<ul>
<li>July 10 - Beenleigh Sunday Markets </li>
<ul>
<li>Bring along your unwanted bits from home so we can take to the markets to sell. Deadline for goods will be End of Term 2.</li></ul>
<li>July 23 - Family Trivia & Bingo Night
<ul>
<li>Come along for some serious fun. $10 a head or $50 a table of 6 - extras on a table will be $10 a head (12 on a table $100)</li>
<li>Sausage Sizzle and Drinks available</li></ul>
Oct 29 - Family Halloween Trivia Night
<ul>
<li>Get dressed up for another fun filled night. Same price structure as pervious event</li></ul>
Dec 4 - Family Car Rally
<ul>
<li>$20 a car </li>
<li>Start at Den, end - who knows where.</li></ul></li></ul>Outside of this I we would like to put on Movie Sessions at the Loganholme Cinemas. We are looing at CARS 2 or KUNG FU PANDA 2 in 3D on July 3. Cost is $20 per adult and $17 per child. Includes Small popcorn and Drink. This saves around $5 per person if you went as a family of 4. We will be passing this to schools to see if we can get them to attend also. I hope we can run a couple of others in the next 6 months with a family theme.
To add your family and numbers to the Movie Session, send an email to register and once I have numbers to move forward I will advise on how to pay and redeem tickets for the session.
