Hi Folks,
Here is some more information (courtesy of Scouter Cam Thomas) about our Group's participation in the annual Manotick Christmas Parade that is taking place next Saturday, December 5th:
1. The parade starts at 1300, and everything should be wrapped up by 1430. Our Group will gather at the south end of the parking lot of the Manotick Arena. Participants should arrive no later than 1245 to ensure that everyone is in place when the parade rolls out. If you have decorations to be put up (see below), please arrive earlier - the floats are supposed to be there around noon.
2. Cam has arranged for two floats, as we had last year. One of these will have a trailer with rails that would be suitable for the Beavers. The other float will be a lo-boy trailer that the Cubs can ride.
3. The Scouts will be collecting funds to support the three local rural food banks.
4. The Scouts will pick up and return the hay bales that will be used as seats on the lo-boy.
5. We can bring whatever decorations we want. Cam suggests that we bring the flags from St Leonard - Troop & B Pack will coordinate (B Pack will not be at the school this week). ...
If you have other decorations that you want to use, please feel free to bring them (I have two fake Christmas trees and some large plastic balls that I will bring). I'm not sure if we want to set up tents on the floats like we did last year...
6. Please make sure your child(ren) are dressed warmly.
YIS,
Robin M. Tarbet
Group Commissioner
4. Tentative Cubs Christmas Party
Date: Monday Dec 7th
Location:
Moncion's YIG
Start: 18:30
End: 20:00
We are going to
plan the party on
December 2nd at our meeting.
I have tentatively booked the only available day at Moncion's so we could do gingerbread house decorating -- Monday Dec 7th.
If the cubs want to do something else we can change the day.
If too many cubs can't make it on Monday the 7th we may have to change the day and the activity.
Let me know if Monday is ok for your cub.
