Yahoo Page Builder,
Launch Page Builder,
wait while it loads and experiment!

Pixzee is overall in charge of it for the moment.
We are hoping you will each do a page about yourselves, you can do it yourself or give us the information (on disk, handwritten, by e-mail or whatever and any pictures and we'll do it for you.
We'd also like a small head and shoulder's picture of each of you to link your pages off.

And if we are going to put photo's up, for safety reasons I'd prefer not to use anyone's real names, so you all get to pick an online nickname. Can be a campname, family nickname, school nickname or something you already use online.

Once personal pages are done we'll start putting in activity reports!

K2/K3, the baby joke page need's filling up!

Congratulations to K2 on completing
Outward Bound!!
A major achievement!

Bananna, have fun on your Spirit Sailing!

BIG AMAZING RANGER JAMBOREE IN DUNEDIN JANUARY 2002

Nobody wants to miss this, so fundraising caps on!

Talking about money:
Have you paid all last years fees to Bev? Very important, no chocolate spratz til everyone has come though!!!

BI-MONTHLY QUOTE:

Since teenagers are too old to do the things that kids do, and not old enough to do the things that adults do, they do things that nobody else does.
