A parents meeting will be held on Saturday 15th September 2007. A Rep from JEKA, we are hoping will be present to answer questions that we may not be able to answer.

Cub Scout Pack - Information
Cubs are reminded, that you are back in action this Thursday night, 5th September, at seven fifteen in full uniform, see you all then. Everyone is asked to return the form they got in the post.
New members are always welcome so if there is anyone who may be interested in joining the Cubs have a Parent/Guardian call along with you to the meeting and talk to one of the Leaders. The Cub age is from 8 years to 10½ /11 years. Their meeting night will be on a Thursday night from seven fifteen to eight forty five. If you have any questions before then you can E-Mail the Cubs on cubpack@abbeysidescoutgroup.com and Gearoid will get back in contact with you. Just to remind all the Cubs of the Book Reader Badge and Home Help Badge and the parts Gearoid gave you all before you finished up in July, with all the bad weather we got this summer I am sure that you all had plenty of time indoors to read books and help around the house.
