PL Activity at scouts tonight (21/2) is Canoeing !!

Dear scouts (and parents!),

The patrol leader's chosen activity for this Thursday night is, Canoeing!!
Please see the permission note for this activity on the Calendar under the date of this activity, please print and bring it!
Please note to bring clothing for swimming and don't forget those old, or water shoes. No water shoes, no canoeing... (also likewise with the permission note!).
Bring a towel and a spare change of dry clothes, I believe uniform is always dress suitable for any fine scout activity, but not mandatory for this night.
Mozzie repellent is a good idea too.
Note we are starting at 6.30pm and ending at 8.30pm to allow for good light for most of the activity. But this ends at 8.30pm sharp so please arrange to be picked up by then. Us scout leaders really enjoy scouting, but we also love to go home too, preferably early on some nights...
Note if weather is bad this activity is off, will send email accordingly and put a note on the News Blog on the website if it is off. Then the week's activity will still of course be the BP Bash, see below...

This weekend is also the annual BP (Baden Powell) birthday celebration, which this year being the centenary of scouting in Australia, is going to be a big "bash" event being held at Richley Picnic Area, Blackbutt Reserve, New Lambton, Newcastle. There's a flag parade at 9.00am and following that fun activities all day including flying fox, bungee, water slide, rope bridge etc. until 3.00pm. Best of all it's free! Bring a picnic, bring your family, bring your friends have lots of fun. But please come if you can, I don't want to be the only one holding Avoca's flag for the parade, that's what scouts are for... Definitely a full uniform activity this one, but you can bring a change of clothes for later if you wish.
Details also on the website under calendar.

Hope to see you there!

All the best,

Musca.
