Is your cub going? So county organisers can ensure plenty of BBQ food for your cub please let your leaders know at your next cub meeting, or sooner.
What to bring: Have a good breakfast before leaving home. Bring a healthy packed lunch and lots of water. Please no fizzy drinks as they only give a very short false energy boost.
Swim wear or a wet suit if they have one, a towel and change of clothes. Water resistant sun lotion and sun hat.
Neckers must be worn.
What if my cub can’t swim? All cubs will be wearing life jackets, so if they’re happy to get wet they’ll have a great day.

Hi All,
To keep things sensible this weekend, can we ask that all cars park on the left side of the car park at all times?
This will leave the right side for the coaches. It will make life easier for all – and more importantly, safer!!
In other words:
Thanks for your help and understanding!!

Hi All,
Huge thanks for your patience as we’re ironing out some of the initial teething problems with the system.
As of now, you CAN pay for registration with the system. (It was only showing Spike – registration is now there).
We really appreciate all the feedback – without it, we would never get there!
Anyone at the registration night on Sunday – we hope to have a number of laptops there & will be able to sort any individual issues with the system.
Enda.
Morning all,
Here in Douglas & St. FinBarre’s Scout group, we’re implementing an online payment system for the group, through a company called Easy Payments Plus.
We’re excited by it, we feel it will give both us and you an easier way to pay & track payments.
In the next short while, you should receive an email from the system, allowing you to activate your account. You should do this – it’s NOT spam!
We KNOW that there may be teething problems while we role this out – please bear with us. We feel it’ll be really worth it on everybody’s part.
Come back with any queries,
Enda.
