Cubs - Amended Timetable / St. George's Day
An amended timetable and revised programme can now be downloaded from the website. This replaces the previous timetable which had incorrect dates for April.
Please note that next week the Cubs will meet in the Scout Hut but they will NOT require a bike. This activity will now place after Easter and I can cycle again!
There has also been a change to the St. George's Day Service. It is now on Sunday 19th April.

Sponsored Shave Off
Dear All,
As many of you will have noticed I have not had a shave for the last 13 weeks and am now beginning to look like a wildman of the north. Subsequently I will be having a sponsored shave off on Thursday 2nd April 8:30pm and will be splitting all the sponsorship money between Group funds and the Kandersteg trip.
I hope that I will receive you full support and that we can raise some much needed funds for the Group. There is a sponsorship form available for you to show your support in the Scout Hut and I hope that I will see you there for the Big Shave Off.
Yours sincerely,
Kenneth Boom (Group Chairman.)

Spring Camp 2009 (Cubs)
Dear Parents,
Spring Camp 2009
We are holding a Spring Camp at Great Tower, Windermere between Friday 22nd May and Monday 25th May. The Cubs will be sleeping indoors whilst the Scouts will camping outside close-by.
We will be leaving the Scout Hut by bus at 6.00pm prompt and returning at approximately 4.00pm on the Monday afternoon.
This will be a very active camp, it is planned for the Cubs to go walking, try archery, orienteering, tackle a low ropes course and learn to climb/abseil. Subsequently it is a little more expensive than usual. The cost will be £75 (based on 20 Cubs going.) Should more Cubs than this attend, then the cost will fall as the accommodation has a fixed price and is not available pro-rota.
I know that you all appreciate how hard the group works to keep the costs for camps down. This camp will still be very good value.
In order to plan effectively and book the activities I would like to know numbers by next week, April 1st, along with a deposit of £20. Should there be insufficient numbers then I will be forced to cancel the camp on this occasion.
I look forward to positive responses.
Yours sincerely,
David Hodgkiss (Akela)

I would like my child_________________________________ to attend the Spring Camp at Great Tower, Windermere.

Skiing - Some last minute news
Can parents please make sure that they do not block the path orr changing room area tomorrow. Last week because of the crush of parents at the end of the first session people were forced to walk on the grass. This upsets the Cricket Club and meant that all the boots had to be cleaned for the mud made the boots impossible to use.
So please - let the skiers through and make sure that they stay off the grass.
In order to help with the issue of skis and boots can the first group make sure that they are at the ski centre by 1.45pm.The second group should arrive around 2.45pm to give Eric the chance to kit you all out before the first session have finished. This will make things easier.
Finally, please make sure that all skiers listen carefully to all the instruction that they are given. Following instructions will enable everyone to make progress!

Edinburgh Ski Trip (Scouts and Notified Cubs Only)
11th March 2009
Dear Parents,Cubs / Scouts Skiing Trip – Saturday March 28th 2009
Following the recent ski training we have planned a trip to the Midlothian Ski Centre, Edinburgh, on March 28th. We will leave, by coach, from Trinity School at 8.30am prompt on the morning and expect to be back around 6.00pm.
The day will look something like this:
8.30am depart Carlisle
11.00 am arrive Edinburgh
11.30am – 2.30pm Ski practice
2.30pm lunch and après ski
3.30pm depart Edinburgh
6.00pm arrive Carlisle
The cost for the day will be £20.00 per child. The cost includes the hire of boots, skis and helmets which are now compulsory for everyone under eighteen. Please can you bring the completed reply slips to either Cubs or Scouts on March 18th and 19th so that we have a good idea of numbers.
Each person will need to bring suitable clothes that cover the entire body, waterproofs, gloves and a packed lunch. A small amount of spending money is also advisable as you can buy hot drinks, ice creams and more in the centre café. Last year many of the Cubs / Scouts brought games or MP3 players to occupy themselves on the journey (PSP, Nintendo DS, Gameboy etc.) This is acceptable but these are brought at the owner’s risk.
Yours sincerely,
David Hodgkiss – Cub Scout Leader
John Wylie – Scout Leader

Lost! One of our coats is missing!
Yes - one of our coats is missing or to be more accurate one of our Beaver's coats was mistakenly taken home a couple of weeks ago and has not been returned. Please can you check that you don't have a coat that isn't yours hanging in your home. If you have then contact Lisa and we can arrange for one Beaver to be very happy indeed when his favourite coat is returned.

Programme Changes (Cubs)
Please can all the Cubs bring a small frying pan and a carrier bag to Cubs tonight. We have changed the programme slightly and will be doing a little simple cooking rather than Scientist in a night which has now been put back until next term.
St. George's Day has also been changed to Sunday 19th April at St. Aidan's Church rather than Sunday 26th April as was originally scheduled. 13th Carlisle Cubs will be providing the Cubs for the service that day (to carry a flag and help renew the promise and law) so a good turn out would be appreciated.
