The Stradbroke Cup is a camping competition with the highest achievers becoming co-holders of the Cup. However, there is an extensive program of activities available at all venues and Patrols who wish to simply have a fun camping weekend, without actually entering into the Stradbroke competition, are also welcome. Most Stradbroke Cup venues will allow Troops to arrive from Thursday evening. This is a perfect way for Scouts to satisfy the "four nights under canvas continuously" requirement for a Jamboree or extended camp. The whole event is an opportunity for Scout Troops and Patrols to have an enjoyable camping experience and experience the fellowship of a large combined camp.
