Ormskirk & District ScoutAnnual General Meeting30th June 20107pm for 7.30pm start
We are currently updating the Cub Section.
Please let me know of anything you would like to see here.
November already, where has the year gone……. In the latest Scouting Magazine – Cub Supplement, the question was asked “How many of us chat with our Cubs and ask them what games and activities have they enjoyed and would like to do again”? Try it….. you may be surprised at the answers. If you are contemplating doing the Scientist Badge, Rolls Royce have some good worksheets and experiments for you to download from www.scouts.org.uk/sponsors.
Orienteering, 17
th October – Tawd Vale
Cancelled and as Tawd Vale is now closed for the winter, means Peter and his brother can’t re organise for another date this year.
Swimming Gala, 14
th November
Information has been sent out, forms should be sent, along with £25 per group to Sue (DC). The swimming gala is always a very noisy, enjoyable event, so please encourage your Beaver and Scout sections, if you have them, to take
part. If you don’t have enough Cubs for every event, that’s fine, just enter what you can. Cubs must be 10 ½ or under on the day. Cubs taking part in the water polo must be under 9 on the day.
Chief Scout Silver Awards Night, 24
th November
Invitations will be posted to Groups (Cub Leader) for you to distribute to the relevant Cubs. If they are no longer in Scouting and you’re not able to contact them, can you let Linda know asap. Could you also, please ask parents to either ring or e mail Linda 01695 726995 / linkirby12@aol.com (subject Chief Scout Silver Awards) if they’ll be attending, plus numbers, so that we have an idea of how many to cater for. It will be the usual format, arrive 7.10pm for a 7.30pm start, with a light buffet after the awards ceremony, approx. finish 8.15pm. If you have any Cubs who wouldn’t mind saying a few words about the personal challenge part of their Promise Challenge, then get in touch with one of us. For Cubs who will only finish their challenges close to the Awards Night, they can have their CSSA badge presented along with their certificate onthe night, as long as we know about it.
Carols in the Park, 7
th December
As usual we will be collecting tins for West Lancs Food Bank and toys for the Women’s Refuge, this is open to all sections. Toys must be new and unwrapped please, the refuge would also welcome gifts for teenagers.
It was decided at the Planning Meeting in September, not to have a Christmas competition this year, as entries had to be in to early before Christmas. We’ll be doing a Spring or Easter competition instead.
Steve, Linda, Chris and Paul.
