Bike Hike on 17 April and Term 2 start for Cubs and Scouts

Hi all.

A quick update for the start of Term 2 at 1st Coburg Scouts.

Bike Hike 17 April 2016
Please see attached flyer and RSVP at this week’s Cub and Scout meetings.

Term 2 starts at the Hall
A reminder that this week we restart Scouts and Cubs on Wednesday (13/4) and Thursday (14/4)nights respectively from 7pm.

Security Update
In light of the break-ins and theft we have recently experienced, the Parent’s Committee resolved to install a back to base alarm in the hall to further secure our hall. If you are a custodian of a key and do not have an alarm code, please contact me urgently so we can arrange a code for you.

Bunnings BBQ 12 March 2016 - the results are in

Hi all.

We had a great day at Bunnings Coburg today, selling over $1900 in sausages and drinks, with net profit just over $1200.  his will help the Group with much needed funds to continue our camping and Group equipment upgrades, and some targeted spending on security to reduce the likelihood of another break and enter.

It was really great to see many new family members joining in to help make today a success.

We have two more BBQ fundraisers in 2016 (August and October), so keep an eye out for rosters and more information closer to these dates.

Thanks again to everyone who helped out to make today a success.

Paul
