Car Wash, Car Boot Sale & Cake Stall - March 1

Sign On Weekend - Feb 8 & 9

Dear Cub Section

SIGN ON WEEKEND

BEENLEIGH MARKETPLACE

SATURDAY FEB 8 - 9 AM TO 4 PM

SUNDAY FEB 9 - 10:30 AM TO 4 PM

 

---

 This weekend the Beenleigh Scout Group will be holding a stall at the Beenleigh Marketplace, outside BB Cafe. We are seeking to increase our Joey Mob and Venturer Unit this year and this is the main focus of the weekend.

 

I will be there all weekend, but if you would like to help out for a couple of hours over the weekend, we have limited spaces available due to only having a small space to work in. At this time we need up to 2 extra people to assist me in this.

 

Times available:

• Saturday: 1:pm - 4pm , 
• Sunday: 10:30 am - 12:30 pm, 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm, 2:30 pm - 4 pm.

 

I see the heaviest traffic will be from 11 am through to 2 pm each day.

At this stage due to the limited space I am not requesting youth members attend, but if they do Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts can only be present for no more than 1 hour as it will not be a very exciting day for them and we can not have them running around chasing one another.

 

For those youth members 10 years and over, I am happy to have you present but as I have not sought permission for you to attend I will require your parents to remain and only for the 2 hours I am seeking at the most.

 

It is all about selling what we do and how new members can become part of the fun and adventure we provide.

 

I would be very happy with drop in for 10 minutes at the most.

 

If attending it is a full uniform activity as we are promoting Scouting and we need every one who comes in to be dressed to impress.

 

If you can spare time please let me know, else if you are passing by say hi, as sitting next to BB Cafe as an ex  Cub Scout Leader I think I will be going insane from the temptation to overdose on caffine products :)

Welcome to 2014 - we start back Jan 28/Jan 31

Happy New Year everyone. The planning is underway for a great 2014 and we hope to see you all return on Jan  28 for Cubs & Joey Scouts,  Jan 31 for Scouts and Feb 3 for Venturer Scouts.

 

I am aware that a few on this list may not be returning in 2014, if you could please email me directly if you will not return so we can ensure our numbers are correct and you will not be invoiced for the 2014 fees.

 

PARENT MEETING

 

Please note that on January 31 and February 4, there will be a 30 minute information session at the beginning of the night. This will showcase the groups and sections goals for 2014. Please ensure you attend as this is your chance to ask questions. 

 

 

FUNDRAISING

The Group is looking for a Group Fundraising Coordinator - at this time the roll will fall into my hands, but I need someone to step up and become the coordinator for the group.

 

You will be responsible for the Group fundraising overall, with the help of the BBQ Coordinator and Cuboree Fundraising committee. In 2014 we need to get an AJ2016 Fundraising Team together from June and your role will be to ensure that Group fundraising continues also.

 

Please contact myself if you are interested in taking on the Group Fundraising Coordinator role.

GRASS IN PARADE AREA

Thank yo to those - Redback, Brenda and Scouts, pus anyone who assisted - in getting the grass laid out in the Den grounds. The efforts to keep the grass growing has been a big effort. Well done and it looks great.

 

BBQ ROSTER

In 2014 we have Autobarn Slacks Creek as our BBQ hosts. We would like to thank Autobarn for 2013 slots as we raised around $3000 through this.

 

To help ensure that we are all doing our bit to help raise funds, the Group will be implementing a roster with all families allocated one spot at Autobarn. It wil be your responsibility to ensure someone attends in your place if you cannot attend on the day.

 

Last year we had only 20 families assist out of 50 families, it is a 3 hour slot on one Saturday a month. If we all do one that is the only Autobarn BBQ you will be required to assist and your efforts will minimise the workload for others.

 

FIRST NIGHT/DRESS CODE

Please remember to ensure your youth members are wearing the correct uniform on den night. Blue or Black shorts and closed in shoes. Anyone with no covered shoes will have to go home.

 

AUDIT

There will be an audit on night one for contact details - please ensure that you check the information as I am aware that some have moved house in the past 6 months. 

 

Thank you all for last year and I am looking forward to 2013.

Christmas Break up 6 Dec 6:30pm

END OF YEAR & XMAS BREAK UP

Dec 6 - 6:30pm  

Non Uniformed night - XMAS Gear would be good.

 

Please note that this Friday is the Break up for the Group of 2013. We have 165 attending on Friday from the numbers gathered. This is a fantastic number and I am looking forward to seeing you there.

  

What is provided on the night is a meal of Chicken (Red Rooster) and Salads. There will be an alternative for vegetarians.  I believe the above meal should cover 90%, if it will be a problem please advise.

 

If you are able to lend a hand on Friday night (time to be confirmed, post 4pm) to help set up the den with tables and Gazebos it would be appreciated if you could let me know and I will contact you once the coordinator has advised of the time. 

For those unable to attend - thank you for the year and I hope to see you all in 2014.
