Asda Bag Pack - November 19th

On Saturday 19^th November the Group has arranged a bag pack at Asda to raise funds.  This will take place between 12.00pm and 4.00pm.

In order to maximise the amount we can raise we need to make sure that all the tills are manned throughout the afternoon.  We are looking for volunteers to work between 12.00pm and 2.00pm and from 2.00pm until 4.00pm.  We need around 15 Cubs and 15 Scouts at each of the sessions.  This allows Cubs and Scouts to work together.

On Wednesday and Thursday next week there will be rota available for parents to sign up their children.  Please make the effort the effort to sign up.

Full uniform will be required on the day – so please make sure it is washed and ironed.  The better the image we give, the more that we can raise.

13^th Carlisle Scout Group

Christmas/New Year 2011/12

Dear Parents,
As Christmas is getting a little closer we have looked at the upcoming timetable and want to gauge your opinion.

With the schools breaking up so ridiculously early this year on December 16th we have considered holding a meeting on Wednesday 21st rather than on January 4th.  (There is already no meeting on Wednesday 14th as this clashes with Christmas performances at both Stanwix and Rockcliffe Schools.

We'd be happy to hear your responses as to which you would prefer.

Ratlingate Sleepover

Dear Parents,

Next Friday night (11th November) the Cubs are holding a sleepover at Ratlingate.  This will be the culmination in a night of games and activities early in the evening.

The Cubs will meet at Ratlingate at 8.00pm on the Friday Evening and will be available to be picked up at 11.00am on Saturday morning.

The cost for this overnight experience will be £9.00 and covers the cost of Ratlingate (£5.50 per person per night) and food/heating costs.

All that the Cubs need to bring, (along with their uniform) is a change of warm clothes (including wellies, hat and gloves), torch, sleeping bag and a coat.  We'll provide the rest!  However, if you can provide a tray bake or similar, the Cubs will be only too happy to devour this too!

A permission to camp form will be avaialble on Wednesday evening, however, we would be grateful for an early indication if possible.  Please email cubs@13thcarlisle.org if your child will be attending.
