Attn: Scouts
Tomorrow night's activity is loosely Valentine's themed. We're going to be making "cupid's" bow and arrow.

Click for example image.

If you happen to see any nice long bendy sticks, or smaller ones you can use as arrows, or you have any cool feathers for decorating, bring them along! Don't worry if not, I'll have a collection, but sometimes it's satisfying to use something you've found for yourself.

Sorry not sorry parents.

Also, I know we have some new kids around, if anyone wants to come along just let me know and I'll get an emergency contact / consent form sent over.

That's great, we'll take great care of them, I'm sure they'll love it. And I appreciate that, we can always use help with the prep work. Sometimes our ideas get bigger than is practical with the time constraints.

Oh, the scouts is co-ed. Boys learn to cook and mend, girls learn survival skills. She's more than welcome to join us. It's good to be able to be independent, to be multi-faceted. You never know when you might need it around here.

The big ideas are often the best ones, though, so they're worth the effort.

That's very unusual. I'm not sure that it's always appropriate for activities to be mixed, but I know my Susannah would like to make a bow and arrows. She's the one who asked, and she's something of a tomboy. I don't know about the other girls, but it is probably best for you if you don't have too many new children!

	I totally agree. Then she is very welcome, and of course if there are ever any sessions that you don't feel are appropriate then it's totally up to you if she attends or not. I'm not about to push any sort of agenda. (Reply to this) (Parent)
