Most of the boys from 1st Alcona attended Winter Brr on Saturday, March 7th, and had a lot of fun playing in the snow. They worked as a team to pull Rusty around in our specially decorated toboggan, and had an opportunity to meet two members from the Barrie Colts, who came out to help with hockey. The texture of the snow was not completely cooperating with building snow forts, so that activity was replaced with a hybrid version of snow Soccer. They also managed to work their ways inside for a snack and some hot chocolate to listen to me telling a fun story about a Bear, a Moose and a Beaver having a canoeing adventure called Up The Creek by Nicholas Oldland (highly recommended for your bookshelf). It was a great day!If you have not yet given me your boys sizes for T-Shirt orders, please drop me a note or come see me at the meeting on Wednesday. These are being specially printed for our group (Scouts, Cubs and Beavers) with the 1st Alcona logo...and will be great as an addition to our uniform for group activities. Our section is absorbing the $10.00 fee for this.
Camp-A-Lot is fast approaching (May 29-31), and I need to get a $25.00 non-refundable deposit (Total is $45.00) for those boys who will be attending the camp. I also need final numbers this meeting to satisfy our Council's attendance records. Please take the time to inform me Yes or No if you have not done so already via e-mail or in person. I normally have a spot in the sign-in sheet for your convenience.
Finally, if you have not done so already, give a hearty welcome to Rusty and Chip, our two newest leaders. Rusty has been with us for a few months but certain technology issues were stopping him from being official. Well, they both are official now and we are delighted to have them with us helping out.
This meeting will be our last before March Break, and will be in the school.
Any questions, please let me know.
