1^st East Ryde Joey Scouts

July ‘08

Dear Parents,

Well the adventures just keep happening at Joeys. Term two was action packed with the Joeys going on an adventure every week to a different location!! We made great use of our time tunnel and had some great adventures. Term three is full to the brim so make sure you don’t miss out on anything! All the A1 forms for the term are included with this note so be sure to return them as soon as possible. The big event for the Joeys is our first ever

SLEEP OVER

in the hall on the 13^th of September. The Joeys will need to bring a parent with them to stay the night. We will be sleeping in the hall with another Joey mob from Hornsby Heights. There will be more details given closer to the time so keep the night free. On the 3^rd September (week 7) we are having an afternoon for the Fathers and would like all the Dads to come to Joeys if they can. We have some treats in store for them that afternoon. We also plan to visit Gladesville Fire Station which is always great fun.

Welcome

A big welcome to Judi Lynch one of our newest leaders who has decided to join the Joey team. Judi has Andrew in the Cub section and has been on the committee for a while and is most welcome at Joeys. Thanks Judi! We also welcome Glyn (Matthew’s Dad) who will begin his leader training shortly. A big HOP HOP HOP to both and we hope your time in Joeys is fun and rewarding.
