From The Program Co-Directors
We are excited to present to you this year’s spring Far East Council Cub camp: Operation Enigma!
Join other agents from throughout Asia as we team up virtually to crack codes, uncover secrets,
overcome collaborative challenges, find new allies, and stretch out training to the limit!
Whether you are a family of veteran scouters or are just getting introduced to the concept of
scouting, our family camp program is designed to help families enjoy the themes of Scouting as they
participate in games, adventures, skills, and crafts. This camp will provide youth with an exciting day
of adventure and fun. We hope you have a wonderful time!
If at any time we can help improve your experience, we will be eager to talk with you.
Sincerely,

Secret Messages

Patrols will use their decoder rings to decipher
various messages as they learn to solve and

send secret messages. We will also learn about
various cyphers and alphabets that have been
used to send secret messages throughout
history.
Rebus Club
Cubs will have their observation skills tested to
the limit! We will play I Spy. Cubs will also need
to use their powers of perception to identify
what has gone missing!
A rebus puzzle combines the use of illustrated Final Challenge
pictures with individual letters to depict words or
phrases. We will work out way through some of
these and even create our own. Older
participants will also use their skills to solve a
large logic puzzle.
Tangrams
Using the skills they learned throughout the day,
patrols will find out if they have what it takes to
win in a battle of code-breaking wits! Don’t crack
open the envelope marked “Top Secret” until
you are ready for what is inside!
Campfire Program
The tangram is a puzzle made up of seven
shapes that can be arranged to form many
different designs. These puzzles originated in
China over 200 years ago, but they continue to
stump even the smartest minds today. We will
see if we are up to the challenge of getting our
“tans” to form various shapes! The entire camp will gather for a lighthearted
campfire program to round out the day. Be sure
to refrain from eating your s’mores kit until the
campfire is ready!
