Ist Lane Cove Scout Group

Hope to see you all at the Lane Cove ANZAC Day Ceremony next Friday!
(attendance at the ceremony forms part of the community service - Their Service Our Heritage 2008 badge)
This year it will be a short march. The RSL have advised we will be assembling in the lane between Birdwood Lane and the Plaza. They would like us there by 7.15am please. They have asked for a Scout to march with the Australian flag and for us to raise and lower this flag during the ceremony. They have also asked if some scouts could march with the RSL banner. I am sure this can be done.
I look forward to seeing you next Friday.

Kind regards,
Paul McGregor (Group Leader)
Carolyn McGregor (Kaa)

To all the Scout Group families:

This is N1 of only 3 fundraisers for the year. The BBQ day at Bunnings Artarmon (in lower level of carpark, adjacent to the lift/stair well). To limit the number of times we will be asking the parents to help fund raise, the Parents Committee booked this event last year. As Bunnings let different community groups do this every weekend, they tell us we have an opportunity to make a profit of around $1000.
To maximise profits, could every family bring an old ice-cream container (or similar) containing ice: we want to minimise the amount spent on ice & maximise our profit
Adults will be cooking (and some Scouts under supervision); Cub Scouts will be taking orders and selling drinks. Please wear cub scarves and hats.

If you absolutely can’t make it please ring Carolyn McGregor Urgently.

Following this, Lane Cove Rotary have a Family Fun day at Pottery Green from 11am to 4pm. Attractions include - Stringybark Bush Band, Jumping Castle, Dodgem cars, tea, coffee and lamingtons, food stalls, sausage sizzle, primary schools public speaking competition, Radio 2NSB broadcasting from the site, free diabetes screening, Australia Day memorabilia and lots more!

Meet at Pottery Green at 8:45 am to help erect the flagpoles and practice raising the flags.

Earn a community service badge by attending the flag raising and citizenship ceremony and hand out native plants to the new citizens: learning about citizenship and taking a part in the local community is an important part of scouting at both cub and scout levels.
