Canvas bags and "Sit upons"


Nov 4th

Please bring a plain canvas tote bag to decorate and purchase a "sit upon" kit from the council so we will have them for Kiniya. Sit upons are a camp fire tradition, we made them when i was a kid in camp fire. they should last many years and used for all outdoor activities, a soft cushion to "sit upon"

Uniform: Red vest, white polo, "starflight" and "camp fire" patch (you might like to get a red hoodie as well, both my daughters love them and they qualify as a uniform to casual events)

Starflight Kindergarten level workbook

We have a parent (Lisa, Bella's mom) who volunteered to host the Christmas party meeting in December, it will be the second meeting in the month of December. The first December meeting will be "homemade christmas present making" and we will continue the theme by having a "homemade gift exchange" at our christmas party. This has been a great success with my older group and I have been amazed at the wonderful creative ideas the kids (and parents) come up with for presents. My own family has had this christmas tradition since i was a kid and at summer camp we often had "christmas in july" where the campers made homemade gifts made with only natural objects found around camp. I will give you ideas for gifts you can make, of course you can always make an edible gift/treat or come up with your own idea.
Stay tuned!
