Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good summer and are looking forward to the kids getting back to school (and Scouts) this week.  Pat (Akela) asked me to send you a few bits of information before we start :-

  1. A huge belated ‘Thank You’ to all leaders, parents, family, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who helped with the Show in August.  All expenses etc are in and we made a total profit on the day of £1,518.62 which, in view of the weather and change of site, I think this is a fantastic amount and would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported the Group on the day by making sandwiches, providing cakes and helping with tents.  This will be put to good use in the coming months.
  2. Unfortunately we have to postpone the proposed Group Camp at Lamphey Palace on weekend of 15 – 17th September.  Although we contacted CADW in May and on many occasions during the following months I received a reply towards the end of August requesting a further Application Form be completed – this was returned immediately and then last week I was told I needed to complete Risk Assessments, planned programme information etc – all this had to be submitted then discussed and if agreed only then would  we know if we could go ahead.  It also appears CADW are reconsidering letting certain sites, including Lamphey Palace, out for private events.  The Leaders will be holding a Planning Meeting and a date with be set for Spring 2018 as we are keen to hold a Group Camp. 
  3. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday 6th September at the Village Hall – normal times.   We have waiting lists for all sections so if your child is not coming back please let us know asap so we can offer their place to someone else.
  4. We will let parents have dates and programme details following our Leaders / Exec Meeting to be held shortly.  Cubs:  There is a Sixers & Seconders Day at Pembroke Youth Club on Saturday 8th October – further details shortly.

Please also take a few minutes to log in to My.Scout and check all contact details are up to date.  If you have any problems with logging in to My.Scout, or any issues with setting up direct debits or paying online please let me know.
