Stradbroke Cup is on during the Easter weekend from Friday 3rd to Monday 6th April.
As with previous years, it has been decided that Bay Park would be the best location. We will go up Thursday night, to make sure all Scouts get their 4 nights under canvas (pre-req for AJ, along with a total of 10 nights under canvas).
The total cost was about $90 last time, and we should be able to keep to this which includes the Bay Park camp fee.
Please let Tjon know (kimtjonjeim@gmail.com, 0433 835 002) if you can go if you haven't already (list of people I have right now is listed below) and who wants to be a PL. Some Scouts I have heard interest, but will need parents to email/call up to give the final OK. Patrols are from 4 to 7. We will aim to send 2 patrols, based on initial response.
It is a competition camp with lots of activities. PLs and their patrol set up the campsite and organise their own menus, cooking and when to go on activities. It has improved a lot in recent years, with lots of guidance for the Scouts and giving them more control over which activities they decide to go for, as long as they decide as a patrol.
The long weekend has lots of fun things to do combined with learning the skills of camping.
Scouts decided that Bay Park would be the best location as it was the most fun previously and most other scout troops from Boroondara will be there - so a chance to catch up with old friends and make some new friends.
Please bring $90 AUD and 2 filled up PIR forms next week to Scouts and hand them to Tjon.
