This week and forms for our first adventure!


Hi Families,

Thanks for a great night of cookie selling last week! We still have some cases left, so if you would like more, please let me know and I can bring them to our meeting.

This week’s meeting is at Canyon Walk Daycare, attached to Steve MacLean Public School (the entrance is off Goldeneye Way, not Spratt). From now on, meetings will run at this location from 6:30 to 8:15pm, unless otherwise specified. Please be prompt with pick-ups; the custodian is often waiting for us to finish up in the room so he can clean it. The Guides should wear their uniforms, have their program book, dues (if not paid for up-front), and indoor shoes. A water bottle might also be handy.

We understand if some Guides may be late this week due to meet the parent night at SMPS. That is fine; please just come when you can. We will be working on promise and law and teamwork activities.

In addition, please check your email for forms and background about our trip to downtown Ottawa on Saturday, October 15. We plan to take the city bus to downtown, deliver some homemade sandwiches to Shepherds of Good Hope, and complete a fun scavenger hunt around Parliament Hill. Cost is $5 and girls bring their own lunch. Although our trips are optional, they are designed to provide fun, supplementary programming to the Guide program and we encourage everyone to attend! (That said, if you already know that you Guide cannot attend, please let me know as soon as you can.)

Finally, our unit will be participating in a community campfire on Wednesday, October 19 at Monsignor Paul Baxter School in Barrhaven, from 6:15 to 7:30pm. If your Guide is able to attend, please let us know. Parents will be responsible for drop-off and pick-up. We will also have our regular meeting that week.

Thank you!

Jen
