Waddecar - Final Update

Please can all Cubs and Scouts remember to bring a traybake to share over the weekend. Tea towels are another luxury which often seem to be forgotten too!

As there is also a shop on the site Cubs and Scouts can bring some money to spend if they wish.  For the Cubs I would advise that a maximum of £5 is sufficient.  Scouts should consult with Skip on Thursday evening.

The weather forecast for the area is not brilliant for the weekend so make sure you've packed a waterproof jacket.

Waddecar Camp Update

Hello everyone,

Last week permission forms were given out for the Waddecar Camp, please can these be returned on Wednesday 18th May. It is especially important that the Shooting form is completed - the rules are simple: No form, no shooting!

Payment of the balance should be made on 25th May.  Cheques should be made payable to 13th Carlisle Scout Group.

Thanks.

St. George's Day - Promise Renewal and Activities

This Saturday is the annual St. George's Day Promise Renewal. Now most eagle eyed parents will have noted that we are a little late this year, as St. George's Day fell over the Easter period.

This year the Promise Renewal for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will held at Ratlingate and will be followed by activities on the site for those who attend (Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.)

Cubs should meet at Ratlingate at 2.00pm on Saturday and can be collected at around 4.30pm.  Cubs should wear their jumper and necker and choose suitable trousers and weather dependent on the weather forecast. A drink and coat should be brought too!

This will be a good opportunity for the Cubs who have not yet completed it to finish their Outdoor Challenge Badge and also to meet other Cubs from around the District.

Spring Camp - Waddecar

At the weekend I was informed that not everyone was aware of the Spring Camp to Waddecar at the end of this month.  Below is a copy of the letter sent to all Cub and Scout Parents.  If anyone has not seen the letter and wishes for there child to go then please contact eith Skip or Akela this week.

Dear Parents,


Spring Camp 2011






We are holding a Spring Camp at Waddecar, Preston between Friday 27th May and Monday 30th 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 6.15pm 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 orienteering, try shooting, tackle an obstacle/assault course, go raft building and caving.


The Scouts who are attending will be planning their own activities over the weekend. They will undertake some of the activities above and also go hiking in the local area.


The cost will be approximately £75 but we are trying hard to reduce this figure. We 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 and is no more expensive than our Spring Camp in 2010.

In order to plan effectively and book the activities we would like to know numbers by this week, along with a deposit of £25.

 Yours sincerely,

David Hodgkiss – Cub Scout Leader


John Wylie – Scout Leader
