Hi to all those back from holidays!
Now you’ve relaxed, its time to start off the Scouting year -

Lane Cove Rotary Club and Lane Cove Council are planning the events for Australia Day to be held at Pottery Green this year. To advertise the events, the Town Crier will be in the Plaza next Saturday morning. We would like to have some Scouts and Cubs to hold the flag with the Crier, while he walks around the Plaza. Each Scout/Cub Scout would only be needed for approximately an hour each between 10 and 12. Please let me know if you can come (and your prefered time slot)
This is also a reminder that our Group will be involved in the flag raising and citizenship ceremonies on Australia Day at Pottery Green (time TBA).

Kind regards,

Carolyn McGregor (Kaa)
