SUMMARY:City of York Cub Leader Get-Together
DESCRIPTION:Get together with other Cub Section volunteers to share our success\, learning moments and also just have a catch up over a cup of coffee. \nWe will be meeting at 3pm on Sunday 4th October at 2nd St Thomas’ Scout Hut on Haxby Road YO31 8LA. Parking is limited\, but we are on the #1 and 5/5A bus route (look out for Haxby Road School) and the #6 stops at the hospital which is a few minutes walk from us. In September\, I’ll be reaching out to Haxby Road School to see if we can use their car park\, I’ll update this page if it happens. \nIt would be great to have at least one team member from each York Scout Group. Please fill out the attached form if you can make it\, and pass this on to anyone I have missed. \nhttps://forms.gle/i7Fhk2DxKPZb2Jkd8 \nMany thanks\, \nTom Mann\, \nCubs Volunteer Support

SUMMARY:City of York Scouts Events Team Launch
DESCRIPTION:Come along to find out how our District Events work and how you can get involved. We are amalgamating our City of York Scouts Events Team and the York Activity Support Team to form one unified City of York Scouts Events Team. By bringing together their experience\, skills and enthusiasm\, the team will be better placed to plan and support engaging events for Scouting across York.\n\nIt is hoped that the new team will meet regularly to plan events and that anyone who would like to take the lead on an event will have the opportunity to do so. This will help to share responsibility more widely\, rather than relying on the same people each time.\n\nTo launch the new team\, we are meeting in The Cabin at York Scout Activity Centre from 7.30pm. Please feel free to come along and meet the team.  At the meeting\, you will find out what we already have planned\, discuss what still needs to be organised over the next few months for Scouting in York\, and learn how you can help.  We would be delighted to see you.
