thursday night was fantastic

Guys

What a great night. A real pleasure to see you all chipping in. The Bosun's, Coxswains and Assistant Coxswains have been given the word to lift their game and be leaders and teach you how to work as teams as well as many technical gems.

Please have a read of the Code of Conduct page on this site!

Just a couple of reminders:

I need to know if you are not going to be at Scouts or late. This is because (a) your parents may have dropped you off, and then you have been abducted (hopefully not), (b) we have planned activities with teams set prior to the night, and (c) it is just common courtesy and respectful to your fellow Scouts and Leaders.

Shoes must be worn when rowing or sailing. Always bring an old pair of sneakers, etc.

No bare feet or jandals inside the den (we had a glass splinter last night). Sandals are ugly but okay. We won't tell your friends at school or post anything on Facebook if you wear sandals. Crocks … are okay (yes, I have backed down), but please not bright pink, etc on parade.

Lastly, please make an effort to find your uniform and wear it. Replacement scarves and arm-bands are $15 and woggles $3.00. Replacement jerseys are $130.

And welcome aboard to Phil, who finally got his scarf!

Cheers
Roger

Welcome back, Term 1, Summer 2010!

Welcome to all our Scouts and parents, returning and new!

The Ngati Toa Sea Scout Troop is back in session this Thursday night, 4 February 2010 down at the Den. The weather looks to be fine (what a nice change from January!) so we expect a full-on evening of fun.

Activities for Thursday night will be:
  • rowing
  • sunburst sailing
  • knot practice
You'll need to bring your water gear (including water footwear), sailing/rowing gloves, and towel.

It will be getting a little more crowded on the quarterdeck this term: joining us as Leaders will be Ross Pritchard, Randall Pavelich and Dougal Morrison. Ross is a longtime parent helper and supporter, Randall was invested at the end of term 4 last year, and Dougal is moving up from Cubs.

Watches will be organised Thursday night, and flag break is at 6:30 sharp.
