April 26th: Camp Prep, Cookies and 2016/17 Registration

Spring Camp Prep
Our upcoming all-unit Amazing Race Spring Camp will be held May 13 to 15, 2016. The camp info letter and forms will be forwarded by email. Please return the SG2 permission form with payment by April 26th to secure your spot.

This week's meeting (our final full meeting at the community centre!) is going to focus on getting the girls in the camping frame of mind - learning what (and how) to pack their gear, what activities we'll be doing at camp and what they'll be expected to do (their own dishes, gasp!). 

Every Spark will be receiving a camp t-shirt tonight which we'll be decorating and taking home. Please bring a large plastic bag (kitchen/garbage bag) to keep in your vehicle so you have something to lay the wet shirt on for the commute home.

Cookies are in!
Please see one of the leaders tonight to purchase your case of Girl Guide Cookies. Cases are $60 (payment by cash/cheque/online) which you then sell for $5 per box. If you'd like to get your case before Tuesday, please email Krista.

Registration for 2016-17 Sparks/Brownies
On Thursday, April 28th registration will open up for all girls who are changing units or advancing to Brownies. Girls returning to the same unit may continue to register. On May 30th registration will open up to new members.

Note: All four of our leaders will be leaving the 3rd Riverside South Sparks Unit as our daughters are advancing. Most, if not all of us will be leading/supporting the 2nd Riverside South Brownie Unit, which meets on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m at St. Jerome. Girls advancing to Brownies who wish to join this unit should register as soon as possible to secure their spot.

Upcoming Events:
May 3rd - 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. (Optional) parent drop-in meeting for camp Q&A. No meeting for the Sparks, but girls are welcome to come and play while the adults chat.
