Normanhurst Scouts

Dear All,

Please find below the information and request from the Group Leader and Group Committee regarding the Working Bee at the hall this weekend.
We request and urge all families to give sometime at least on Sunday as it is very important as this helps to us keep our costs down for the Group and subsequently the fees that the family has to pay.

As we are unable to organise another activity for Clean Up Australia Day on the 7th of March, All cubs attending the working bee and helping out on this Sunday, will be able to get their Service work signed off for the boomerang badgework.

cheers
