One of the most successful instruments of the past decade has been the submillimeter wavelength camera SCUBA on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). SCUBA has recently been retired and the JCMT is currently shutdown in preparation for the arrival of the next-generation submillimeter camera SCUBA-2.SCUBA2 will be bolometer array operating at 850 and 450 micron with 10000 pixels and a field of view of 8 arcminutes. A polarimeter and and FTS for intermediate resolution imaging spectroscopy will be available with SCUBA-2. Current plans are for a start to operations in early 2007. This poster will discuss the current state of the development of SCUBA-2 and describe the large Legacy Survey Programs that various groups have proposed for the new instrument.
