Dear Parents/Guardians, November
13, 2013
Popcorn will be available for pick-up next
Wednesday, November 20th at the Scout Hall at 8:00pm. Our meeting will also be wrapping up at this
time to allow leaders to help with the distribution of popcorn.
On Saturday December 7th, we
will be sponsoring a family outing to the Christkindl
Market in Kitchener. For more information the Christkindl Market visit: http://www.christkindl.ca/ . We will be traveling by bus from Elmira to
Kitchener and returning the same way – it is much easier to find parking in
Elmira than in Kitchener! As usual,
there will be carpooling available from Palmerston if needed. More details on departure and return times
will be available next week.
A note about
winter weather: As the weather turns more wintery, the
general rule of thumb is that if school is cancelled due to weather, so is
Cubs. In cases where school has gone on
as normal and the weather has turned foul later in the day, leaders will
communicate a cancellation of the meeting if necessary.
A note about
the baby: Contrary to rumors going
around last week, Akela’s baby is not expected to arrive until mid-December! If
the baby does decide to come early (Baby will come when baby decides to come!)
Cub meetings will proceed as scheduled – Akela just won’t be there. Akela and baby will be at meetings after
Christmas break.
A note about
badge work: Cubs are welcome to work
on badges at home. Some badge
requirements require a presentation to the group or to a leader. This can easily be arranged most weeks. Other badges cannot be presented in this way
(swimming for example) – in this case a note from a parent or guardian will
suffice as evidence of completed badge work.
