Cookie Selling Tonight is Cancelled

Cookie selling at Joyce-Collingwood Station is postponed due to Guider unavailability.  We will reschedule our cookie selling to an upcoming meeting in the near future.  

Next week we are bowling at Grandview Lanes.  Please email a Guider if you are planning to attend, but have not yet submitted your forms.

April 20: Cookie Selling EARLY START

This week, we’re selling cookies at Joyce Skytrain Station.

We have a number of cases to sell to support unit fundraising goals, so please plan to attend from 5 – 7 pm. We’ll meet on the east side of Joyce Street, near the bike locker. Pick up will be from the same place at 5 pm.

If you’d like another case to sell on your own, please let Karla or Christa know and we’ll bring an extra case for you. Protip: funds you raise from selling a cookie on your own goes towards your own “cookie cash” – i.e. funds that you can use towards your own upcoming events, activities and adventures!

Lastly, don’t forget your forms and $5 payment (or use cookie cash!) for glow bowling at Grandview Lanes, which is next Wednesday April 27!

April 13: Camp Planning & Program Work

This week, we’re starting in on summer camp planning, as we’re heading to Camp Kanaka at the end of June! Bring your outdoor ideas, questions, and curiosities.

Also, we have more cookies to sell, so we’ll have a few cases to distribute if you’re able to sell another case on your own. Remember, all of the cases you sell contribute to your own cookie cash funds, which you can use to support upcoming events and activities!

Lastly, don’t forget to bring your forms and $5 (or use cookie cash!) for glow bowling at Grandview Lanes on April 27!

April 6: Pizza Party and Games Night

Unfortunately, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank had to reschedule our volunteering shift for this week, so we’re going to meet at the church for a games night and pizza party! Come hungry, and bring a card or board game that you’d like to play, if you’re up for it. We will also have some fun games that you can try, if you’re looking for something new to enjoy.

Also, remember, forms and $5 payment for the NiteHike, which is on Saturday April 9, are due on April 6. If you’re not able to come to the Food Bank but would like to come to NiteHike, please email the forms to Karla by 10 pm on Wednesday April 6, as we will be registering the group on Thursday morning. You’re welcome to use your cookie cash towards NiteHike. Speak with Christa if you have questions about cookie cash.

March 30 Meeting: Outdoor Skills & Cookies

We’ve got an action packed meeting on March 30, and an action packed spring program season!

At tomorrow’s meeting, we’ll be doing a number of stations on outdoor skills in preparation for NiteHike, and upcoming outdoor adventures like camp in June! Yes, you heard it – we’re going to start in on camp planning for some early summer fun!

Please bring some items from your ten essentials to tomorrow’s meeting for our practice activities.

We’ll also be bringing cookies for everyone that hasn’t taken any home yet, plus a few extras if you’d like an extra case to sell.

Lastly, here are the forms for some upcoming awesome outings, including NiteHike on Saturday April 9, and Glow Bowling on Wednesday April 27. Please take a look at the event information, and bring the forms and payment back to an upcoming meeting!

This week, we’re doing a number of fun, interactive activities in honour and celebration of International Women’s Day! Meet at the church at 6:45 pm.

Also, cookies are getting delivered this weekend. We’d appreciate it if you could pick up your cookies on Sunday, as the leaders have limited storage space and lots of stairs.

March 2: Girl-led meeting: Craft Night

On March 2, we’re going to have a crafty evening at the church with our final meeting led by our 3rd years who are working to complete their Canada Cords! It will be a fun and creative evening. We’ll be decorating cloth tote bags, making friendship bracelets, and doing some amazing origami!

If you want, you could also ask your neighbours or family members to start collecting bottles for you now. Maybe put a flyer in a place where your neighbours will see them and then collect them all on Tuesday the day before Pathfinders!
