Cubs are selling kindling and running a firewood raffle to help them on their way to the Cuboree camp in Sydney.

The Scouts' stall was popular at the Dubbo Rotunda Markets on Sunday, coming after the mercury dipped below zero on both Friday and Saturday morning.

By mid-morning Cubs leader Vaughn Simmons had seen Dubbo marketgoers snap up 16 of the 32 available bags of kindling.

"We've sold more than 300 bags already since the start of winter, it's been very good," he said.

The fundraiser is a hands-on activity for the Cub Scouts, aged between eight and 12 years.

"We cut up the pallets and then the kids have to then chop it up and bag it themselves and all the kids come down and sell it as well," Mr Simmons said.

"So they'll get their $8 per bag from that to go to their funds for getting them to the camp."

About 32 Cub Scouts from Dubbo as well as their peers from Bathurst, Orange, Mudgee and Parkes are set to be among the expected 5000 to gather for Cuboree.

Mr Simmons also told of Scouts launching a significant new program recently, that would help the young people build skills for life.

"It's all youth-led and it's all about them, what they want to learn, and then as an adult leader, we're here to support them," he said.
