End of Year News
Monday November 16
Ms Elaine will be present to review progress and update achievements for the scouts. We will planning Yule Log activities. We are initiating send home notices to encourage Scouts to discuss upcoming events with parents. The Scouts often seem unable to commit to upcoming events because they have not reviewed these activities with their parents. Life is busy and often the Scouts may have other obligations with school or sports or other activities. By giving ample notice, we hope to allow the scout to plan to attend more of our outdoor activities. Even if it means coming late or leaving early. We hope the scout understands that the majority of fun and knowledge of the scouting program is obtained in the outdoor program.
