Goodbye blog - hello blogs!

Hi everyone,

In the next few weeks this blog will be redundant.  Instead there will be three new blogs, one for each section.  These can be found at:

13thcarlislebeavers.blogspot.com

13thcarlislecubs.blogspot.com

13thcarlislescouts.blogspot.com

Each blog will be administered by the section concerned rather than centrally as before.  We hope that this will be an effective method of communication for you all.  Links to all the blogs can be found on the website.

The Cubs blog is running already so please check it out for details of this weeks activities and the Beavers and Scouts blogs will come online over the next few days.

Cumbaree 2013

You may have seen reports in the press about a number of children being hurt when inflatables blew over at Cumbaree 2013.  I am sure that you would want to join with all the leaders in wishing those who were affected a speedy recovery.

13th Carlisle Scout Group Ceilidh 20th April 2013

The theme of this Ceilidh, to be held in the Scout Hut on Saturday, 20^th April 2013 is “Picnic and Puds”. The Ceilidh will start at 7.30.

This event is being held to raise funds for the Scouts trip to Kandersteg. You bring your own drinks and picnic supper and we will sell you a delectable pudding for £2.00.

The cost of admittance to this wonderful event, with music provided by Reunion, is £6.00 per adult and £2.00 per child for the first 2 children. You don’t have to pay for any other children in your family.

There will a baking competition for the children who attend so please encourage your Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood wannabees.

We will have a limited number of drinks and snacks for sale if you don’t want to bring your own.

We will also be having a Tombola so, as usual, donations for prizes would be appreciated.

If you want to attend please let a Leader know and they will record your name etc and, more importantly, take your money. Space will be limited so don’t delay.
