Confused? You won't be after the next episode of...

The AGM saga continues....
It is now 6:40pm on Friday the 12th February at Arbory school. Sorry for the late info but this saga keeps running, any more twists and there could be an award in it. Of course this means there won't be a session that evening and as I'd already had to change after the railway museum no real harm done.

For those people who didn't get the slip detailing the change next weeks scout meeting is at the Methodist Hall in Ballabeg. We've used this before so no supprises. See you all at the same time on Friday.

A promise is a promise

As everyone can see this week is promise challenge week and I'd like to remind everyone about the two pieces of "homework" that I set on the term plan. The first is easy 6 or 7 written lines of a well formed prayer asking in humility, giving thanks that sort of thing. The other is a bit harder, I'd like at least half a page on a political or world event or issue. This is important and is a major constituent of the challenge badge, the written aspect gives the leader team time to apraise the work and just its merit for the badge.

Sadly the railway museum trip wil have to be held over until they open to tourists. Apparantly the engines are covered for the winter, a kind of loco-hibernation and they won't wake up until spring.

Finally the AGM should be rescheduled for the 1st week back after February half term. Assuming no more snow that is.

What's occurin'?

For those of you who would like advance warning of what we are to here is a pdf of this half terms programme. Note that there are some actions for the scouts to do before some of the sessions.
If the programme doesn't load highlight the pdfs address end press enter on it like you are typing a web address. It seems to work the second time.

HNY

Well happy new year and all that. You'll all be thrilled to know that I'm planning to have a planning meeting this week. Friday, is of course, the AGM 6:30 Arbory School. Be there parents (or guardians) or you'll miss out on having your say. No scout session afterwards though. I should give out programmes for the coming half term there.

7pm? What's the burning issue

I've spoken to the Fire Service about our visit on Friday and can confirm our booking for 7pm. Yes, 7pm not 8pm but that's what the fire station can do so we have little choice. I realise that could cause some scouts issues with double bookings so if you could let me know as soon as you can whether you can make it I would appreciate it. Also, if you have transport issues let me know and we can try and plan around that.
Arrive at the Quarterbridge car park for 7pm, pick up will be at 8:30.

If you can't find my scouts email on here it's 1starboryscouts@manx.net

Fire Station Friday?

Well, with 6 days to go I have no reply from my letter to the fire station requesting that we are allowed a visit. I'll be phoning them on Monday to find out and so will hopefully let everyone know whats happening on Friday on this blog on Monday. Stay tuned.
