Dont forget this Saturday 7th February is the directory drop, we are meeting in the hall at 9.00 am. We are expecting all Scouts to participate. The directory is the main source of income for our group, it funds the hall and our buses. The more Scouts that turn up the faster we get finished. If any of your parents are available to help they would be more than welcome. Lunch will be provided.

What a surprise the cooking competition turned out to be. All the Leaders were totally surprised by the end results. The planning that went into the meals ,the actual cooking of the meals and the end result was excellent. The presentation and the quality was first class. All patrols scored more or less the same for food. Well done to all the PL’s and their patrols, particularly well done to Carla, Devin and all in the Caiseal for a 5 star meal.
We will get some pictures up asap.
