From time to time
we send out an e-Newsletter to keep everybody up to date with
the latest news from Cubs. It is only available in electronic
form, a paper version is not provided.
It is sent to all
Cubs that have registered their e-mail addresses through our
information exchange scheme.
This is the
latest edition of e-News which was sent to the Stags and Wolves
lists on
23 February 2007
Following some uncertainty
about the red nose day sponsored walk we can now confirm that
all is well and it will run as previously advertised. We hope
that you will be able to come - details below:
On Sunday 11th March, the District have organised a sponsored
walk of approximately six miles in Windsor Great Park, as part
of the Centenary Celebrations. This event is open to all
sections, and is intended to raise some cash for Red Nose Day,
but more importantly to raise the profile of Scouting! The
intention is to start and finish at Queen Ann Gate, which is at
the Windsor end of the park. The start time is 10.30 and the
finish time will be approximately 2.30, and soup will be
available during the walk at Bears Rail campsite. Sponsorship
forms are available from your leader or can be downloaded (see
www.2ndbracknell.co.uk/cubs.htm). As
this is part of the Centenary Celebrations all those taking part
will earn the Centenary Join in badge.
After some problems where
the walk clashed with the Queen going to church we are pleased
to be able to confirm that the arrangements listed here are
correct and the walk will take place on the date and time we
suggest. The route has been changed to avoid the Queen.
We hope to see you there. If you are planning to come please
let us know as soon as possible as we have to give the
District an idea of numbers.
JUNGLE CAMP
The e-mails have been flying since we issued details about the
Jungle Adventure camp in June. Places are filling up fast so if
you would like to reserve your place then you'll need to get
that slip in as soon as possible. See
the Spring Term update for more information.
SUMMER CAMP
Just another reminder that our lists close on 28 February. As in
previous years we are offering the full week or a half week
mini-camp. More details at

Cub Leaders
Information Exchange
We always worry that our carefully prepared notes and letters
do not always get home. We try to get around that by having
e-notes available on this site. They are electronic copies
of the same notes that we give out on a pack night. If you
lose your note you can therefore print off a new copy so
that you don't miss out on the information. We provide e-notes
in Word format.
In addition to this we also have our e-Newsletter which is
sent to the Information Exchange
mailing list. By sending Akela your e-mail address you can
make sure that your inbox is kept up to date with the latest
information. We've now introduced a facility where you can
do this online. Just visit the Information Exchange page for more details.
