Hello all,
There will be an email coming out in the next day or two with important information for those who have registered for the Sandford course running 1 July to 3 July.
What I can tell you right now is that you need to be at Brookfield no later than 7:00pm on Friday night, in full uniform and having had your tea.
Could I please have everyone who sent away the registration form for the course (whether you've received a confirmation or not) contact me so that I know who *should* be on the list.

I have one scout who would like a ride out to Wainuiomata for the Orongorongo tramp on Sunday if possible. Anyone with a spare seat please let me know. Also, I forgot to mention, but parents and Cub-age siblings are welcome on the tramp as well.

A while back we had organised a field trip to visit the NIWA research vessel Tangaroa but had to cancel because of scheduling issues at the wharf. The good news is that Tangaroa is back in port soon and we can re-schedule our field trip. The best news is that (unless unforseen problems arise again) we can tour the vessel and meet her crew next Thursday night (30 June). More detail to follow!

No Scouts this Thursday, but get your boots ready for Sunday
Hi all,
Just a quick reminder that Scouts this week is moved in time and space: Instead of Thursday night, we'll meet Sunday morning 9:00am just south of Wainuiomata at the trailhead for the Orongorongo track.
The track begins at the Catchpool Valley DoC site about 12km south of Wainuiomata on Coast Road. There is some parking, but ridesharing is always a good idea. Please email me if you need a seat, or if you can offer a seat.
The track is a fairly gentle 5km or so one way so we'll be pacing ourselves for distance. Prepare as you would for any day tramp: cut lunch, snacks, spare clothing layer, water, hat, sturdy shoes. We'll be carrying in some burners, billies and extra water so that we might all have some hot tea or coffee with our lunch. Don't forget a camera - there should be some excellent photo opportunities and I'll create a Picasa photo album afterward.
Ideally we'll finish up between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, so it will be a full day, but not the entire day.

Congratulations to our kids who completed the Cossgrove course this weekend. It was wet, muddy, busy and fun; in short, everything a Scout camp should be. Photos up in a day or two.
