Important News

Hi everyone,

I just uploaded a new handout containing some important information.

First off, there is a Kub Kar Rally this weekend at the museum of Science and Tech. This is a whole day event and is extremely fun. Make sure they come dressed in full uniform otherwise they will have to pay extra. Hopefully they will have their cars ready by then (those that haven't). For those new to the area (we always seem to take for granted that everyone knows the directions to these places) here's a Google Maps link : Museum Sci Tech Map.

The second thing I want to mention is that there are a couple of cub camps in June. They are the Odawa Camp and the Voyageur Cubaree.

The Odawa Camp is an annual event and I think this year is the ?? year they have it ( I can't find the info and right now the Odawa website is down) at the Voyageur Provincial Park near Hawkesbury. It's and event that includes all the Scouting Groups of the Odawa Area. This encompasses all groups from Gloucester to Hawkesbury ( I think .. I may be off here). It's a fun event and the kids really enjoy it. Cost is $15.00 per child. The pack is covering 75% of the costs (otherwise it would've cost $40.00). WE NEED TO KNOW ASAP IF YOUR CHILD CAN MAKE IT. Oh this camp is held the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of June.

The other camp is coming up the following weekend, that is the 8th, 9th and 10th of June. This camp is to commemorate scouting's 100 year. This will include all the cub packs of the Voyageur district which covers a huge area (eastern Ontario and western Quebec) You are looking at over 1500 people at this camp. It is a mini-jamboree so to speak. Cost is $25.00 per child. The pack is covering 50% of the costs. WE NEED TO KNOW ASAP IS YOUR CHILD CAN MAKE IT

What a Wicked Winter Blast!

I'm not talking about Friday's winter storm, either! That winter camp was AMAZING!

The weather was perfect, the food was great, and the programme was phenomenal!

The youth approached the challenges with lots of energy, and really picked up on the orienteering this weekend, thanx to Akela for all of the drills we ran during the last few meetings, they paid off HUGE. By the end of Saturday's exercises the Pack were compassing with ease and ManTracker went off perfectly, good job Pack!

We're very proud of you.

Great fort building too!

The campfire skits were performed with gusto and the singing and cheering were hearty to say the least.

This was an exceptional weekend and I hope the youth are as anxious for the next one as I am.

YIS,
