A1 Joey District campfire 2014
Dear Parents
Parramatta and Hills District Joeys will be holding a joint campfire at Bundilla Scout Centre, 6 Baden Powell Pl Winston Hills on Monday 19th May commencing sharply at 6:30 pm and concluding at 7:30 pm.
This is the first joint Campfire for the Joeys in the District and replaces the usual Joey Fun Day for this year.
Joeys need to wear their Joey uniform with scarf neatly rolled and bring a warm jacket. A torch with the Joey’s name clearly labeled would be advisable.
If it is raining we will be going ahead but we will be using the Brownsea Hut at Bundilla.
Any questions can be directed to your own section Leader.
Hope to see you all there, Leonie Plummer (District Joey Scout Leader)
