Summers here- alegedly

Now we have lighter nights we plan to be outdoors more, however as the weather may not always be sunny, please bring suitable clothing to Scouts, as even if it is raining we may still be outside, and the pan for this week is cooking outside on fires, which we will still do unless the rain is that hard that it will make it dificult to light a fire.
