"While a heavy snowfall earlier this week made life troublesome for most Brant County residents, it created ideal conditions for a Cuboree held in Burford on Saturday. About 200 Cubs attended the day-long get-together at the Burford Lions Park. ... The boys didn't allow the cold to detract them from tobogganing or snowshoeing their way around the park's nature trails."

"Mohawk Park was 'packed' Saturday as more than 250 Cubs from Brant County held their annual Cuboree. The Youngsters were put through the paces of both sporting events and qualifying work for badges. ... The Cuboree, a local tradition begun in the early 1950s, is designed to promote individual achievement and group excellence. It also affords an excellent opportunity for promoting cub-scout solidarity as packs from all over the county assemble to join the fun."
