New BBQ Fundraising Location - 2nd Saturday monthly

I am pleased to advise UltraTune Beenleigh has offered the Group a BBQ Fundraising slot every 2nd Saturday of the month, starting on April 12. I would like to thank the Davies family for arranging this with the store.

 

In the next two weeks a new roster will be put out for you all to commit to one slot  - as it is local I am expecting every family to assist us with this. You will only be asked to do one BBQ slot, if the hours remain the same as a AutoBarn. 

 

For that that have already done a BBQ this year at AutoBarn, you will not be required to commit again as you have done the one BBQ asked of you. But please feel free to help if we are short handed.

 

If you cannot commit to the date please seek a replacement and swap, we man just enough for the day and  last minute cancellation making it hard for organisers to be prepared and ensure enough hands available for the event.

• Apr 12 - UltraTune BBQ

Fundraising Update - February Wrap

Car Boot Sale & Car Wash

AND THE RESULT IS! 

Thank you to everyone that participated/donated good for the weekend fundraiser. It was such a good day and I believe it was fairly successful for Stall holders.

 

After all the counting and items purchased taken out the result of the efforts was:    

$860

 

Money raised goes towards the den maintenance and towards the much needed BBQ Trailer we are seeking.

Cuboree Bush Dance - March 29 at 4pm

          Local Country and Western band along. 

 

If you remember going to a bush dance come along as this is what we are running on the night, Line dancing, bush dancing and maybe something else.  

 

Invite your loved ones, school friends, neighbours  to come along for the 'shin-ding'! 

 

BBQ Fundraisers - New location

NEW BBQ LOCATION  FOUND

 

I am happy to advise that we have found another BBQ venue and I am in the process of sorting out dates before I announce the name. At this time I am hoping we can keep the original dates we had planned. To those that placed their names for the next BBQ we may still call upon you for that weekend.

 

 

NEXT CAKE STALL - MAY 2

It was wonderful to have so many cakes on the weekend. We sold 95% of them by 12pm.

 

At this stage I am looking to hold another Cake Stall on May 2 at the Twilight Markets at Windaroo State School. Please have pans and rollers at the ready for this one.

 

I will also need people to help man the stall on that night. If you are willing to assist please let me know.

Term 1 - Week 2 Update

Week One & Two has come & gone

 

So we  have already knocked over two weeks of Term 1. Things are back in full swing and we are looking to increase our presence int he community in 2014. I would like to thank everyone who returned this year and look forward to a big 2014. 

 

BBQ Roster - AutoBarn

 

Thank you to those that have already signed up for the BBQ Roster at AutoBarn. Can I please ask that you all check the roster out at the front desk in the main den and slot yourself in. Remember fundraising is a necessary evil to help offset the costs. The fees would need to increase by $3 a week to cover the short fall. We need everyone helping to ensure we only have to do one of the AutoBarn BBQ's for the year. 2.5 hours on a Saturday is not much to ask for - we have 9 BBQ's to cover from March 15 onwards.

 

Sign on Day Success

 

Last weekend saw the group set up camp at the Beenleigh Marketplace. The aim was to raise awareness of the group in the wider community and to increase our numbers in Joey Scouts and Venturer Scouts. What a successful weekend it turned out to be. We are looking at six new Joey Scouts and a strong potential for three Venturer Scouts. These Venturer Scouts are members that left Scouting and are looking to return.

 

Add to this a waiting list for Cub Scouts (3) and Scouts (9) we are looking very healthy.  

 

Car Boot Sale, Cake Stall and Car Wash

 

March 1, 7 am to 12 pm will be the Group first of two events for this fundraiser. 

 

Calling all bakers - we need your help in catering for this event. Please drop your goods off Friday night Feb 28 or early March 1. Help on the stall would be a big help too.

 

We are also looking for those that are keen to help man the BBQ for this fundraiser also. 

 

- Joey & Cub Scout permission form to attend 

- Scouts & Venturer Scouts permission form to attend. 

  

Seeking Leaders

 

Are you someone that likes to get down with your kids? Do you want to earn certifications and experience that can assist in your  day job? We are looking for leaders continuously. The Cub Scout section is seeking your help as one Leader is about to take a journey for three months overseas and we need your help to fill the hole.

 

It is a lot of fun to be a leader and the more we have the less work it is for the current leaders.

 

If you are not interested in being a leader how about stepping up as and Adult Helper or Supporter? 

 

Talk to the Group Leader for more on this.

 

Bush Dance - Cuboree Fundraiser  March 29 

Are you up for a good night out, get some people together for some old time fun on the dance floor. The Cuboree Fundraisers - Eleni and Tanya have put in a lot fo effort to make this happen and get or 20+ members to Cuboree in September.

 

Remember this is not just a Cub Scout activity as they will be asked to come along to for Jamboree fundraising. But if we all ask around I am sure we can drum up interest from outside
