volunteering to become a leader on a part or full time basis, it is a
very rewarding job & provides an opportunity to share in many
activities & provide great experiences for the children. No
qualifications are required - just your time & enthusiasm. Training will be given.
The Scouts will be running their traditional Hot Dog Stall & are looking for helpers (scouts &/or their parents) to set up from 10am, run the stall 1-5pm & clear away after 5pm. There will also be a centenary display of scouting. Please Geoff Chapman know if you can help on 795523 or turn up on the day.
AGM - Friday 22 June 6:30 - 8:30

afterwards, Scouts attending without parents for games that night will
need to pay £3 for the BBQ.

Host Families Required 21-23 September
We have been
asked by the Poppleton Fiddlers if any Beavers, Cubs or Scouts would
like to host 1 or 2 children from Ayr on their annual trip to the
villlage with the Ayshire Fiddle Orchestra. This just involves
providing bed & food as they are busy during the day on Saturday
& leave early on Sunday. It also provides reduced rates for their
concert & celidh on the Saturday & an opportunity to meet new
people. Please contact Ann or David if you are able to help.
