Cub Scouts Army Visit 22 Apr 2008
This coming Tuesday, 22 April, I have organised a visit to the Gallipoli barracks, Enoggera. There we will be visiting the 2/14 light horse regiment museum. The unit will also display an ASLAV (armoured personnel carrier) for the cubs to crawl over and an active soldier to speak with the cubs.
We will meet at the den at 6:20, to leave promptly at 6:30.
We will arrive back at the den at 8:00 pm.
Please dress in full uniform, neat and tidy, with scarf.
The soldiers suggest that we minimise the number of vehicles, so I’ll phone a few parents to transport. Those parents will stay for the night and transport back to the den.
No cost.
A few other items coming up:
Thursday 24 April (yes, two nights in one week!). Sleepover at the den, and then Anzac day march on Friday morning. I’ll have a note next week, but please reply to this email to let me know if you are coming or not, so I can organise catering. The cost will be $10.
If the cubs attend both activities (museum & march), they earn the special badge “their service, our heritage”.
I am now using the group website, www.stjohnswoodscouts.org. You can read notices, see photos of cubs and the other sections.
A full term 2 note will come out as soon as I have time to write one.
Regards,
Alan Brake (Akela)
