France update 16July11

Hi all, now that our luggage is on its way to France, its time to concentrate on getting ourselves there. We will meet at 12.noon in Terminal 1, there is a check in area 5 which has a bit of space in front of it, so we will meet there. You should wear your Tee shirt, Neckerchief, Scout Trousers, black/navy shoes or hiking boots, please do not wear sneakers/runners. Remember you can only have 1 piece of hand luggage, so make sure everything fits in your day bag, dont carry any drinks with you, they will be taken off you at security. You will have some spare time once we clear security and you can buy drinks / sweets etc, so if you have a small amount of your own money, you can bring it to spend.

If you have any questions give one of the leaders a shout.

see you all on Tuesday

France – update 12 July 11

Hi all, dont forget you must bring your packed case/haversack down to the hall on Friday evening at 7pm. It will be loaded onto the bus and you will not see it again until we arrive at our destination.  

We have ordered the T shirts and may have them by Friday evening,  if so we will ditribute them at that time. Each Scout will be issued with 1 T shirt for travelling over and back, if you wish to purchase a second one there will be a charge of € 12.50. You can wait until you see the T shirts then make up your mind. 

Can you please return any oustanding medical and consent forms on Friday, also we will collect Passports and E 1-11 cards. 

If you wish, you can also bring along your spending money, place it in an envelope ( not brown)  with your name and the amount clearly written. Please try to get smaller value notes. Remember when you are asking for your spending money, its most likely your parents have paid for your trip and all your activities and food etc are paid for !!!

if you have any questions, leave a message or send a text

when you read this, please pass on the information to others that are travelling  

see you Friday

Just a reminder that you will also need to bring 2 tea towels for use in the House, not sure you will get them back so dont bring the best ones from your House.  We have tried to get Brackenstown neckerchiefs from the Scout shop but they are completely out of stock, see if you can borrow an extra one for Camp as it looks like they will not have them in stock before we go.

Dont forget for those who are travelling to France there is a Parents meeting next Monday night, it is important that you and at least one Parent attend.

A big THANK YOU to all those who supported the Family Day last Sunday, those who attended, made cakes for sale and those who could not attend yet made a donation, your support is greatly appreciated.

In relation to wet sponges and shaving cream, there are a few, actually, quite a lot of Scouts ( even those that just laughed ) that should remember the old saying ‘ Revenge Is Sweet !!!
