Easter Briefing

I hope that everyone is enjoying the Easter break but with the new term only a week away its time to bring you up to date on a number of events and issues.

Leaders

Without the support of the Leaders there would be no Beavers, Cubs or Scouts. All of them give up their time freely to pass on their skills and experiences to YOUR children. (Bruce Kirton is fast approaching 15 years as a leader.) Could you not do the same?

We are still in need of more leaders, especially In Beavers and Cubs. With Barbara Wrightson having a break due to work pressures, Jane Moore moving on from Cubs in December the time to find new leaders is upon us. Could you be the next leader to fill one of these vacancies? Yes we offer training, yes we give you a necker and shirt/polo shirt but most importantly we offer you FUN!!! Please talk to the existing leaders if you think you could help.

Kandersteg 2009

Thanks to all who have replied so far. I'm about to confirm our places so can anyone who wants to go and who has not yet returned their deposit to Skip (Bruce Kirton) please make contact with either him or myself as soon as possible. I have to book specific rooms depending on numbers and the gender balance. (Remember to go you must be 12 by August 31^st 2009.)

Subs

Please check your bank statements if you are paying by standing order – a number of standing orders seem to be intermittent or not working. If one of them is you can you please contact me and I'll pass your details on to Ganga. You can bring your accounts up to date by paying off any debts by cheque or cash.

St. Georges Day Parade

This is April 20^th this year at St. Aidan's Church. All Beavers, Cubs and Scouts should meet at the Scout Hut by 2.15pm on that afternoon. You must wear your full uniform with school / scout activity trousers and shoes.
This is not an optional event. We require everyone's attendance. Football, cricket or whatever can take second place on this weekend.
