Bits n Bobs
Brian Moore is home with a sprained back for those interested! Many thanks to Baggy, Big Mac, Dale, Dale Mac, George, Joe, Lauren, Lodgy, Matt, Nemo & Tam for turning up to the Cross Country today, even tho Tam & Big Mac either can't tell the time or forgot we said to meet at 10am!
Bowling this Monday 6pm, Yes Tam & Big Mac 6pm!
We start work in a fortnight on your DoE & QSA. We also need to stack our camping equipment a little more neatly, please come in clothes suitable to get dirty.
As you've managed to loose several compass' recently, in future we will not loan this equipment out but will sell it you at trade cost (£10 for compass & perry whistle). We also have some brand new Sherpa 60 rucksack available for purchase @ £45.
You will one Monday night, once you've got the map and compass basics worked out, be going out to put theory into practice. So I'll need parental consent for this outdoor (in the dark) activity. I need your parental consent forms for the Barnsley Boundary walk, and for those racing at the swimming Gala.
The leaders will be meeting soon to plan next years activity calendar, so what do YOU want to do? No good moaning that Explorers is boring if your idea is - summat gud...

Camp cancellation
Unfortunately I have received no permission to Camp forms for this weekend.
I am therefore canceling the camp as there is insufficient time to complete and submit the required paperwork.
For those doing voluntary work please look at vinspired.com and register your work for job applications.
Also whilst on the web look at scouts.org.uk/qsa for info on your queen scout award & Gold DoE.
The below is a message from Michelle aka Rainbow Dave who's a stilt walker (Yes this is stilt walkers anonymous!)
Basically he's have been doing circus skills evenings in scouts and guide groups of all ages for a few years now and teach stilt walking on big camps. He knows the basics of most skills and has enough equipment to let the young people have a go and try something new!
His kit includes
Juggling
Diablos
Devil Sticks
Spinning Plates
Poi
Also specialist equipment that he might be able to bring along
Pole stilts
Bocks (Bouncy Stilts)
Unicycle.... but I haven't mastered it yet!
He's brought some of his equipment up north while at uni

Jamboree
Were you born between 25th July 1993 and 27th July 1997?
Are you a Scout, Explorer or Young Leader in a Barnsley District?
YES to both of these questions? Then you are one of the lucky ones who are able to attend the 22nd World Scout Jamboree in 2011! A World Scout Jamboree is a gathering of Scouts from almost every country in the world, and it really will be the "experience of a lifetime" for those lucky enough to take part.
It's bigger than the Olympics, both in terms of the number of participants, and also the number of countries represented. You'll live and take part in activities alongside Scouts from all over the world, making new friends for life, and experiencing different cultures you never even knew existed.
Do you want to find out how to get selected to attend the World Scout Jamboree in 2011?
YES? Then you are invited to a Bonfire, Fireworks and Information Evening at Silverwood Scout Campsite on Sunday 8th November at 6pm. We will tell you what a World Scout Jamboree is all about and how to apply to attend District selection in Barnsley.
