September updates

Congratulations to Tiger Patrol for winning the Patrol Challenge Competition. After winning Patrol Challenge #6, they now have 26 points. Second-placed Eagle Patrol is far behind with 14 points and it is impossible for them to beat Tiger Patrol with only 2 Patrol Challenges (and maximum 10 points) remaining.

The race is now between Eagle and Hyena Patrols for 2nd place. So sorry, Fox and Hawk Patrols - I don't think you can get 2nd place but you are welcome to prove me wrong!

As you are aware, Derrick has been promoted to SPL - Senior Patrol Leader - after his outstanding performance during the Silver & Gold Arrow Tests. He will help to plan and conduct all Scout Meetings and activities. Derrick's Fox Patrol is now led by Christian.

I will be ordering badges, scarves and T-shirts for our unit but we need to have a logo first. I am proposing that we adopt the Raccoon as our animal mascot because it is cute, brave and resourceful! I will discuss this idea with all of you at the next Scout Meeting.

Finally, results of the Scout Donation Draw are out. Please check through your tickets to see if you are one of the lucky winners!
