As advised the Explorers are to camp at Silverwood this weekend fri 19 to sun 21 June. Meet 5pm fri @ Hoyland Common to load, if parents could then arrange between themselves transport to\from, arrive back @ HC 4pm Sun. Cost £15
Due to time constraints an email or text will be accepted as permission to camp from parents. Same rules as last weekend, uniform top/knecker to arrive. Remember tea towel'!

Jamboree

The 22nd World Scout Jamboree will be held in July\August 2011 on the fields of Rinkaby (nr Kristianstad) Sweden.
S.York's have secured a unit of 36 persons, with Fitzwilliam guaranteed 2 places. A district selection event will take place by the end of Jan 2010, to nominate 6 people to go forward to the county selection event by the end of Mar 2010. Successful candidates will be notified by April 2010.
As it will cost at least £1500 per person to attend the Jamboree we will require a written undertaking from parents that they are willing to undertake fundraising for succesful candidates.
