Cubs
Bagpacking 2011
As leaders we put a lot of time into running meetings and events for your kids throughout the year. Now is the time of the year we ask you to give four hours of your time to help your kids and save you money. Due to age restrictions we need a parent from each family to do some shifts backpacking in Dunnes Stores Douglas Court. This is our main fund-raiser each year and allows us to keep the fees low, purchase equipment, and subsidise trips so if we don’t get enough help that will all have to change. Please tell us below what shift you can do.
