Sept 2015

We get new blue uniform polos this year and some of you ordered jackets that should be in soon.

First event of the year is Friday, September 11 Patriots day at the airplane park: Del Valle in Lakewood on woodruff. Lisa will be coordinating a meet up at McDonalds prior to the 5pm check in at the park.  Kids need to be in uniform: we will have new blue polo shirts to wear this year. More details to come for this event. Please RSVP to Lisa G if you can attend ASAP.

The kids are now in Discovery Level, you should have received info from the council with sign up sheets. the first Discovery club meeting is Friday September 18 from 6 to 8pm at the council. please bring the signed paperwork, club dues are $60 (this is separate from our wakin yolo gidi club dues) and be in uniform. there is a calendar in the packet that was sent out that has all the Discovery Club events for the year. we will continue to meet monthly but will add these DC meetings to our calendar.

Kiniya is early this year, Thursday Sept 24 7pm. Please wear your ceremonial collars to this event. we will be making a wakin yolo gidi symbol patch for the back of the collar this year, so leave the middle of the collar free from patches/beads.

First meeting for our group is Wednesday October 7 at the council from 6 to 7pm. Please bring your wakin yolo gidi book bag, pen/pencil and be in uniform. We will hand out hard copies of the yearly calendar for you to take home. We will be working on an Outdoor Progression Patch this year, it is very important to be at all meetings, council events, service project event (wetlands restoration in the spring) and the Discovery Club meetings. My older group really enjoyed this new chapter in their camp fire experience, the kids will become friends with other kids their age in other groups and take on more responsibility in the council. As they move through Discovery level and on to Horizon Club, they will be prepared to run events and serve as officers in the club. These are skills that will help them in high school, college and future careers. Please bring a check of $75 for our group dues (this money pays for our deposit to all council events, supplies, patches and beads) Remember, you can purchase beads at the council (for example the bead list kids bring back from Camp Wintaka) anytime. Your child can also earn beads from the bead book, available at the council store.
