Cubs - 28th April

BE WARNED. I may not be at the Scout Hut until very close to 6.30pm this evening . Please do not leave your children until you have confirmed that I have arrived. I would hate for any child to be left alone.

Cubs- Walking on Saturday 8th May

On Saturday May 8^th the Cubs will be going walking. The location is a closely guarded secret (an anagram of the location is Bear Foe Mist.)

We will leave the Scout Hut at 9.30am in the morning and expect to be back around 5.00pm. The only cost will be a contribution towards the transport - which will be finalised once we know how many Cubs will be going. All that the Cubs will need on the day are sensible clothes, walking boots or strong trainers, a packed lunch and waterproof coat.

I will be reminding the Cubs this Wednesday and handing out a permission form. An early indication of who will be going, would though, be much appreciated.

St. George’s Day Service

St. George's Day Service

Sunday 25^th April is the date for this year's St. George's Day Service at St. Aidan's Church, Carlisle. The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts should meet at the Scout Hut for 2.10pm that afternoon and we will walk as a group to the service. We will then walk back at the end and expect to be back around 4.00pm.

The St. George's Day service is where all members of the Scout Association renew their promise each year and resultantly is seen as very important. This will also be the last Service at St. Aidan's, for as from 2011the Service will form part of an activity day at Ratlingate.

So in answer to the question "Do I have to go?" the answer is a resulting "YES!!"

Please make sure that you come in full uniform with polished shoes, school trousers, and ironed 'necker and with all the badges you have earned sewn on. Remember to bring your collection too!
