Please ask your parents to contact Jodie Misson about helping the in op-shop between 21^st June and 26^th June. More helpers are desperately needed.
Donations of salable goods are also required. These can be left at the hall at any time, or ring Jodie to arrange pickup.

If you have a suggestion for an activity you'd like to be involved in with the Scout Troop in Term 3 please make sure that you tell your patrol leader or see one of the adult leaders.

A sleepover will be held to mark the end of term 3.

In keeping with recent tradition, breakfast will be at McDonalds, followed by a couple of hours community service tree planting. Scouts will be ready to go home about 11am. Permission slips out tonight, and due back next week.

Scouts are always able to organise a patrol activity. You are no longed in cubs. You have the opportunity to make things happen - things like hiking, overnight camping, or some special interest activites. It can be your "normal" patrol or a special activity patrol - your choice. The Leaders will support you if you ask. Any activity requiring more than 8 hours effort will earn you a patrol activity badge

There will be an information night early in Term 3 for parents (& scouts) to discuss the Sydney Jamboree which will be held from the 3^rd to the 13^th January 2001. The Jamboree provides lots of fun and activities and brings together thousands of scouts from all over Australia and other countries around the world.

We have usually gone cross country (XC) skiing for one day each August. Please let a leader know if you would be interested to go for the whole weekend (lodge accommodation) rather than just taking a one day trip.
