Date: 16th June 1999 Duty Patrol Tonight: Bushranger Duty Patrol Next Week: Cobra

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. They can also be left at the Op-Shop during the scout occupation.

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. Meet at the hall at 8pm. No Charge for this activity. In keeping with recent tradition, breakfast will be at McDonalds, followed by a couple of hours community service tree planting.
You will need to bring a sleeping bag & mat or stretcher, toothbrush & towel. Bring a spray jacket & boots for the tree planting. Don't forget your PJ's.

Scouts will be ready to go home about 11am after a sausage sizzle. Pickup near the District Hall in Fairway Ave (Melway 71 E5). More Details over the page.
Permission slips were out last week, and their return is now overdue.

New PL's and APL's will be announced at the sleepover.

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.

First Waverley Scouts 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. Proposed dates 7^th & 8^th August.

Congratulations to Daniel & Joel Heath and Richard & Iain McCoy who have been selected to attend ScoutSki '99. Have a great time guys!

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 activities - do you want to try surfing, visit Scienceworks or learn flower arranging? You can use your "normal" patrol or create 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
