Seeking Fundraiser Coordinator

Group Fundraising Coordinator Resignation
For personal reasons our Fundraising Coordinator - Helen Cowan-Wheatley - has made the decision to step down from the role. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Helen for her efforts in what can be at times a difficult role.

 

As a result of Helen's decision I am now left with the need to seek a new Fundraising Coordinator. Until a candidate steps forward I will need to take the role on. Any further questions in relation to fundraising can be sent to me.

Ten Pin Bowling night

What a fun nightnwas had by the Cub Scouts at the Mt Warren Lanes. They were so well behaved that the general public provided three cheers for them.

Two games of bowling were completed and I believe they slept well that night also.

Congratulations to Jack and Matheus for their great dance moves to Gangangum Style and One Direction.

Great when they all havw fun and make stronger friendships. Well done you should all be proud of yourselves.

Cuboree 2014 Meeting - Wed July 31 @ 7pm

Dear Parents,

 

I am happy to advise that your Scouting member will be eligible to attend Cuboree 2014 from Sept 21 - 26, 2014. This camp is aimed at Cub Scouts between the age of 9 and 11 years of age, on Sept 21, 2014. They will take part in many exciting activities and get to meet with Cub Scouts from all over the State and interstate. A chance to make new friendships and experience what Maryborough QLD has to offer.

 

For the older Scout members, you will be able to attend Cuboree 2014 as an assistant or even help on the Scout base that is run at every Cuboree.

 

In order for you to get the information you need to get prepared I will be holding a meeting on Wednesday, July 31 at 7pm. I appreciate that this is a Wednesday night, but with two groups running on the same night now there is no room to hold a meeting of this size on the Joey/Cub Scout Den night.  At this meeting I will go through with you the cost and show some of the photos/videos from Cuboree 2012, plus you can fire all the questions you have at me as this will be Cuboree number 3 and I am again involved in the organisation of Cuboree 2014 as the Communications Director. I am, and was,  responsible for the Website, Blog and facebook updates for the last Cuboree and this one coming. If you would like to see what happened in 2012, go to the Blog 

and look through the archive on the lower right hand side. 

 

I know that this seems a long way off, but the applications can be submitted now with a payment plan option, and I am keen to make sure everyone gets a chance to be able to send their Cub Scout to a truly amazing experience.

 

 

 

 

Are you attending? You have previously registered as Attending. Yes I am attending. No, I cannot attend. 
Registration required by Monday, 29 July 2013.

Welcome aboard

Last night saw the investiture of Zahlia as a Cub Scout and we are invested Shanti as anew Leader also.

Add to this two Joey Scouts linking up in readiness for them to join our team in coming weeks

Plus we welcomed Emma from Helensvale who is transferring in after moving into the area.

Cub Pack is full and this is a good thing.  Many happy faces last night.

Campfire cooking

Last night the Cub Scouts were taught to cook on the camp fire.  With chocolate, marshmallows, banana, strawberries and waver cones, they made  alfoil wrap with a melted treat inside.

One young Cub enjoyed it so much most of it was around the outside of his mouth.

The funniest part from the actvities was watching the Cub Scouts try to recite the Cub Scout Law after devouring a biscuit. It was a team event that saw all seated with hands on head at the end.

Fun night
