It’s all about winter this week!
We’re preparing for Snow Camp with a fun evening of games, activities, and team building in preparation for our January camp at Mount Seymour. This meeting is mandatory for Pathfinders and friends that have signed up to attend camp in January as we’ll be covering some very important safety, packing, and planning information. Not sure if you can make it to camp or want more information before deciding whether to attend? Come tonight to learn more!
Forms and payment for our holiday outing to the Enchant: Holiday Light Maze (in lieu of Stanley Park Christmas Train) are due tonight. We’re also heading to Camp Olave soon, so RSVP as soon as possible for that great weekend (forms and payment due no later than Nov 23).
Lastly, we’re supporting the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre this holiday season. Bring items from their holiday wish list for the care packages we’ll be delivering later this month.
This week, we’re celebrating our first year Pathfinders’ official kick-off to their Pathfinder journey with an enrolment pizza party! Come in uniform as this is a special, ceremonial event.
Following enrolment, 3rd years using our trip to Camp Olave in November as their gold camp will have some time to continue camp planning.
Also, sign up any time for our upcoming events. Most importantly, forms and payment our outing to the Stanley Park Christmas Train on December 7 are due no later than November 16 as we have to buy tickets in advance, so don’t miss out!
Wowee – there’s a lot to look forward to! Check out the Calendar and Forms pages for more information about the following great upcoming events:
Also, at our upcoming meeting, we’ll be planning enrolment (1st years!), Camp Olave gold camp (3rd years completing their Canada Cord!), and our holiday service project. If you have any ideas for a holiday community service project, please bring them! Remember, as Girl Guides we aren’t able to raise money for an organization, but we can do donation drives. Some things on our mind include: the Covenant House Christmas Backpack campaign, or preparing kits for Downtown Eastside Women Centre or Days for Girls.
Be sure to bring your program book! Also, cookie money is due November 9th.
We’re decompressing from the Pathfinder Summit and enjoying some Halloween snacks and crafting tonight!
Please bring a clean glass jar with a lid for the craft.
Costumes and snack to share are encouraged but not mandatory!
Reminder: Snow Camp and First Aid forms and payment can be returned tonight, too!
