The last pre marathon race in the Race Series 2012 is coming up with the Half Marathon being held mid September.  For us that means there are 6,000 goodie bags to pack!

This will be the last in the series of goodie bag packs for 2012 and we need huge support from parents & members of the Group to make sure we get it all done… and quickly!

We will be in the den from 9:30am on Saturday 8th September to begin the pack and when there are lots of hand on deck, it never takes more than a few hours to complete… even for 6,000 bags!

If you can spare some time on the day people lend a hand.  Even if you can only make it for an hour or two it will make all the difference.

Looking forward to seeing you there next week for a couple of hours.  All are welcome, parents, friends, aunts & uncles etc!

With the beginning of the Scout Year approaching, the first Group Council Meeting is due to be held next Tuesday 4th September at 8pm.

Following from the meeting we will be getting in touch with everyone with regard to registering for the year ahead and the Group AGM due to be held in coming months.

In the meantime we will be in touch to confirm the restart dates for each of the sections.  We hope everyone has had a good summer and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Note Group Council is the management body of the Scout Group, attended by Scouters and Youth Representatives.  Attendance is not required or intended for parents / guardians.

 

A Group Camp will take place in Larch Hill from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th September.  All Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers & Rovers are welcome to join us on this fun packed weekend (Please note that the Beaver programme will run from Saturday 29th to Sunday 30th).

A memo will be circulated in early September outlining Camp times and details.

We’ve had a bit of an unexpected break on the wireless over the summer but the site is back online now and you’ll start to see Group info coming your way.

After a hiatus since the end of June due to technical issues, willingtonscouts.ie is now back online. The look and feel has changed a bit but the same regular updates will begin to appear letting you know of the goings on in the group.

We may also try to integrate with Facebook & Twitter to make sure that when we have something to say, the word gets around quickly. We are also going to look at how we share our pictures / videos and our memories and see if we can improve on it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone back in the den over the next month.

We’ll be in touch again.
