Dear Parents,
Busy month, we can be very proud of the cubs who provided the uniformed flag party at Kevin funeral, excellent job. We are equally pleased with our swimming team who returned victorious from the Gala. It’s been a busy rollercoaster ride for the pack in the past 12 months, we started with 43 Cubs and End with 43 Cubs but some great memories. Please continue to help where you can, remember we need two parent helpers each and every week. We are strong because we have great support. Have a happy and safe summer holidays.
The shape of things to come:
We move on six Cubs to Scouts tomorrow and they have all been great Cubs and achieved some exceptional things in the Pack. As pack sixers they have set a wonderful example and high bench mark for the remainder of the Pack to follow. My Leaders and I thank them and wish them a happy career as Scouts. Except Toma, Sieana, Devin, Alicia, Matthew and Harry, hanging is too good for them.
Also goodbye to Louise who has looked after our front desk for the past years, she has done a wonderful job and will be sadly missed. If you can help cover her important job for the pack let me know.
