Tips for Parents…

• Spending money will not be needed. There is no access to a shop over the weekend.
• PLEASE – Limit the amount of junk/rubbish food you give your child. They will all be fed breakfast, lunch and dinner over the weekend and a snack on Saturday night.
• PLEASE – Get your Cub, Scout or Venture to pack their own bag so that they’ll know whats in it and where everything is.
• PLEASE – Get your Beaver Scout to pack their bag with you… Try anyway…. So they too will know whats in it and where everything is.
• From experience we know that items will get lost or damaged therefore we ask that no expensive pieces of clothing are brought along on the weekend away. This also applies to electronic devices; please leave MP3 players and hand held gaming devices at home.
• MOBILE PHONES ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEEKEND – FOR ANY SCOUT

If you’ve any further questions or still have money to pay off for this weekend please speak with your childs section leader as soon as you can.
