Firework and Bonfire Fun

Dear Parents,
Beaver, Cub and Scout Bonfire Celebrations

On Wednesday 3^rd November all three sections will be meeting at Ratlingate from 6.30pm. On that night we will be having some firework fun, along with a bonfire and a sausage or two. We will be finished around 8.00pm and parents are welcome to stay.

In order to help pay for the event we would be grateful if Beavers, Cubs and Scouts would contribute £2.00 on the night.

Please can you make sure that your child is suitably dressed, aware of the basics of firework safety (all the sections will have covered this beforehand) and that they bring a torch.

We look forward to seeing you on November 3^rd.

Yours sincerely,

David Hodgkiss – on behalf of all the Leaders

Swimming Gala

Cubs and Scouts

This years Reivers District Swimming Gala will be held on Saturday 16th October at Penrith Swimming Pool. We ask that Cubs and Scouts turn up at 5.30pm ready for a 6.00pm start. All that they need to bring is their swimming gear, a drink (plastic bottles only), something (a t-shirt or towel) to wear on the poolside, £1 for their locker and loads of enthusiasm!

Heats for both Cubs and Scouts start at 6.00pm and the Gala will finish around 8.15pm. It's a great night so why not stay and support the teams.

A word of warning for those spectating - it gets very warm - so they'll be no need for the thermals.

Following the gala we normally head into Penrith for a well earned treat - this year we'll all be heading to McDonalds.

Let's look forward to another successful evening.

T-Shirt and Pirate Necker Orders

Thank you to everyone who has placed a t-shirt order. The order has now been sent off and I expect to collect the order before the end of the month.

If you still want to order a t-shirt its not too late. Just send your completed orders to Beavers, Cubs or Scouts this week. If you've lost your order form then please download one from the website.

I have been asked if we can order any more of the pirate neckers which the Cubs got on this years summer camp. These are still available and if anyone wants one then please contact me. They cost £5 and come complete with leather woggle.

Thank you.

Please meet at the pool for 12.15pm - we swim from 12.30pm and finish at 1.30pm. There is no cost. Last year we won the Cubs and both Scout competions - can we do the same this year.
Everyone who attends the training can go to the Gala - so go on and give it a try.
