Autumn Term - First meeting 12th September

Hello there, we hope you had a great summer and are all rested and ready for a new school year and, more importantly, Scouts.

We have tried to come up with a varied program with a few favorites and a few new ideas.  Details in the previous post.

We will be emailing out, or dropping letters in, to each of you with a few bits of information etc.

As we confirm details for any of the plans we will let you know with as much notice as possible.

Probably the most important thing to note now is that we are hoping (booking just needs to be confirmed) to be camping 27th - 29th September at Rough Close.  Book the date on you family calendar before anyone else does!

So, just to reiterate, although (most) schools start the week before, the first Scouts is on Thursday September 12th.  We hope to see you all there.
