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.
Yours in Scouting,
Stephen Hughes (Bagheera)
