Winter Camp 2008
Dear Parents,
We are holding are annual winter camp between Friday 22nd and Sunday 24th February at Ratlingate. The Cubs will be sleeping indoors whilst the Scouts will be camping outside.
This year we will be doing some local walking using Ratlingate as the base. We hope to complete another section of the route of Hadrian's Wall. This means that your child will need to bring suitable footwear for walking in. (This can either be walking type boots or a sturdy pair of trainers. Wellies could be worn but soon become uncomfortable.)
Along with our walking we will be playing some games and working towards our Outdoor Challenge, Nights Away, Chef, Hikes Away and Outdoor Challenge Plus badges.)
The camp will start at 7.00pm when the Cubs should be dropped off at Ratlingate and the Cubs can be picked up at 11.00am on Sunday. We would appreciate help to clear up on the Sunday Morning from 10.00an onwards. All Cubs and Scouts must come in their uniform.
The cost for the weekend will be £15.00.
Please can I ask that each Cub brings with them a tea-towel or two and a tray-bake or similar to share with everyone for snacks during the weekend. They should also bring a small ( SMALL !!) rucksack to carry their waterproofs, lunch and a drink in when they are walking.
Gloves, hat, waterproofs and warm clothing are essential.
A camp permission form is available on the website www.13thcarlisle.org in Letters and Downloads. (There you will also find a kit list for the weekend. ) Please fill this in and return it, along with your payment, in an envelope. Cheques should be made payable to 13th Carlisle Scout Group and should have the name of your child written on the reverse. We must know by 18th February at the latest if your child is going so that we can plan the catering and sleeping arrangements. Please e-mail cubs@13thcarlisle.org.uk if your child is attending.
Remember that February is a cold month. Please pack appropriately.
Yours sincerely,
David Hodgkiss (Akela)
