Monday, May 16th: Advancement Ceremony

Tonight we will be recognizing our Sparks who are advancing to Brownies, so please join us in marking this special moment! All Sparks and their families are invited to attend our Advancement Ceremony:

Location: St. Leonard School (gymnasium), 5344 Long Island Drive, Manotick
Date: Monday, May 16th
Arrival: 6:15 p.m. Ceremony will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Sparks should come in uniform, including badge sash.

We'd like to thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout the Guiding year. It's been wonderful getting to know your girls; they are a wonderful group, and we look forward to seeing them either next year or the year following as Brownies.

Camp Reminders!

A few reminders about this weekend's Sparks camp:

• Arrival time on Friday is 6:30 p.m. 
• Girls should have dinner before they come; we will be providing a snack
• Girls who chose to join us on Saturday should arrive at 7:30 a.m.
• Pick up time is Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
• Camp t-shirts are to be worn on Saturday. If you don't think your Spark can keep it clean Friday night, we advise you pack it instead of having her wear it on Friday. Note: One Spark left her t-shirt behind the night we made them, so please let me know if you're missing yours.
• Rain gear! The forecast is showing a chance of showers all weekend so please send waterproof outerwear - rain boots, rain/splash pants and hooded rain jacket, as we will be spending the majority of Saturday outdoors. I recommend throwing in several changes of socks.
• Indoor shoes or slippers will make the girls much more comfortable inside the building as no outer footwear is permitted past the front entrance.
• Label ALL items you send, including the bin and lid that you pack everything in

Can't wait to see all of our happy campers!
