NEW START TIME:  Just a reminder to all that our regular meeting start time has been changed to 6:30pm.  The meeting will end at 8:00pm.  This new time should remain in effect for the rest of the Cub year.  If there is another change, we will try to advise you as soon as possible.

BOWLING NIGHT:  Next Tuesday, October 4^th.  This is always a popular outing for our Cub Pack.  We will meet at Thorncliffe Bowlerama at The East York Town Centre at 45 Overlea Blvd.  If everyone could please arrive by 6:45pm, this way the Cubs can all get their shoes and we will be able to start promptly at 7:00pm.  We have use of the lanes until 8:30pm.  The cost for this evening is $6.50 per bowler (this includes shoe rental).  If anyone needs directions to the bowling alley, please call or e-mail Akela or Bagheera.

APPLE DAY:   Saturday, October 15^th.  This years Apple Day fundraiser is already fast approaching and preliminary preparations are well under way.  The effort this year will be co-ordinated from Scouter Warner’s house (driveway) at 22 Wrenson Rd.  Over the next couple of weeks there will be more information sent out regarding times, places, what’s expected, etc.

FALL CAMP:  Friday, October 21^st to Sunday, October 23^rd.  We have booked a cabin at Camp Everton in Acton (near Guelph).  This is a Scout Campground run by the Waterloo Region Scouting Group.  Our camp weekend is a joint effort combining all 3 sections of the 91^st – Scouts, Cubs & Beavers.  The Cubs and Beavers will be sleeping indoors while the Scouts will be tent camping.  Please Note:  There are no indoor washroom facilities.  Further details (including cost) will be announced very soon, but please mark the dates in your family calendar as we try to encourage as much participation as possible as this Camp is a great way for everyone to get to know each other and to start working on some badges.

NEW WEBSITE:  The 91^st Scout Group has a new website this year.  The site is being maintained by Norma Thompson (Rusty) who is one our Beaver leaders.  Each section has their own site.  The address for the Cub Pack is www.oocities.org/toronto_cubs.  Some of the things you will be able to access on the site include an event calendar and information regarding badges, etc.  Please check it out when you have a chance.  More information will be added as the year progresses.
