1^st Blackmore Cubs - Autumn Term, Update Letter, No.2 - 07th November 2006.

I hope that the Cubs have enjoyed the program which was set up for them in the first half of the term. This is just an update letter, first the bad news:-

• Subs are now due for the Cubs - Subs are £18 per term and should be paid to Clare Corby who is the Scout Group Treasurer, or they can be given to me and I will pass them on to Clare. Please make cheques payable to "1st Blackmore Scout Group", thank you;

                Clare Corby

                  Farriers,

                The Alley,

                Blackmore,

                CM4 0QU.

• The Scout organization is keen to recruit girls as well as boys into Scout movement. While it is not mandatory, for practical purposes we need to recruit a female leader before we can admit girls. The job is not as onerous as many people fear and there is an enormous amount of help and assistance available from what is still the largest youth movement in the World. It is a lot of fun and I sometimes wonder who's enjoyed the evening more the Cubs or me! If you would like to give it a try or come along and help out, please let me know, thanks.

• Tuesday 07^th November - Meet 18:30, Village Hall car park, we have booked the minibus again and are going to Thriftwood Scout Campsite for the 3^rd part of our “Cub Navigator Activity Badge”. We will again return at 21:00.
• Saturday 11^th November– Meet 09:00, Village Hall car park, we will need a few parents to help out with lifts please (we only have one volunteer at present) to Thiftwood Scout Camp, in Brentwood (the minibus is unavailable) to complete the final part of our “Cub Navigator Activity Badge”. The Cubs will go to Thriftwood with Ann Davis and I will meet them there later. Following this session you will (hopefully) never be lost again, having a fully trained “Cub Navigator” in the family!
