Winter camp Yoho 2010

Operation Snowball

On Jan 30th we will be attending Operation Snowball at Yoho Scout Reserve. This is an afternoon of fun for Cubs and Beavers from all over the Rivorton area. The cost is 5$ per child. The bus will leave the church for those who need it. If you can drop your child off at yoho that would be greatly appreciated as we only have 20 seats on the bus. The fun begins at 1pm and goes until 5pm.....it is round robin so everyone tries out a different game every 20mins or so...please arrive at Yoho early to park and register.

Hope to see you there

Ringtail and Akela
