On this day–Thursday, October 26, 1995–dedication ceremonies were held for the 1994 Capital Development Campaign. CubWorld wasthe centerpiece of this campaign, though not the only component. Initial discussion involved transforming the area that is the Percy Dempsey Camporee, but that conversation turned to Camp Murrey, which had been experiencing declines for some years. Murrey would be transformed into CubWorld, a new kind of family camp.

Construction went on for most of 1995 with retired Director of Support Services Tom Willhite serving as a consultant–his final job as a professional. The ceremonies began at 3pm on the 26th with the reservation open to visit as there were several sites to be dedicated that day. The official dedication ceremonies began at 5pm. Official remarks were made by Aubrey Harwell, Jr. the Council President as well as E. W. “Bud” Wendell, the campaign chairman. CubWorld itself was dedicated as were a host of smaller facilities within camp and other sites around the Reservation, including program shelters, special needs campsites, and a new waterfront at Camp Craig.
