On June 18, 2013, 5th Fredericton held a special meeting to invest four new members in the Troop and one new leader. Welcome to Scouter Ayten and Scouts Camelle, Tata, Jake and Daniel.
During this meeting, Pathfinder Scouts Jonathan and Eleanor also received their Chief Scout Badges. This is the highest level award that can be earned at the Scout Level.
His Honour Graydon Nicholas, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick and Honorary Patron of Scouting in New Brunswick joined us to make a special presentation of the Chief Scout Badges to Jonathan and Eleanor. Our most sincere thanks to His Honour for this presentation.
Sincere thanks as well to the Ladies at St. Andrews for putting together refreshments following the presentations.
Congratulations to Jonathan and Eleanor. The Chief Scout Award takes a lot of hard work and dedication, great work you two!

Sorry for the very late update. 5th Fredericton Scouts and Venturers had a great flatwater weekend at Spednic Lake from May 31 to June 2, 2013. Thanks to Scouter John for joining us.
On Friday, May 31 we were on the water by about 7:00 PM and spent the night at Big Island.
On Saturday mornign we were up bright and early. After breakfast we repacked our gear and headed out for Upper Palfrey. We arrived at our campsite late in the afternoon. After getting out tents set up, we did some more paddling and some fishing. Almost everyone caught at least one bass. Sorry Scouter Ken :)
Here are a few pictures, more to come.

March 30 Camp
On March 30, 5 Scouts and 3 leaders headed off to Scouter Ken's camp for the night. We had to carry our gear for about 1.6 KM. After arriving, we built our shelters for night. Only one of us had to head inside during the night, we won't mention names, but his initials are Joseph :).After a dinner of KD and tube steaks (hotdogs) we went for a short night hike to try our luck at calling bard owls. We did have a couple of coyotes answer our calls.
On Saturday morning we packed our gear to head back out to meet our drives. On the way, Scouter Ian covered most of the information for our Forestry badges. We learned about different types of trees and their uses. We also learned about the Spruce Budworm and saw a Ruffed Grouse on the way.
Getting our gear packed on the way in:
Good spot for a nap
Some of our shelters for the night. A great night to sleep under the stars.

Christmas Wreath Fundraiser at Red-Robin Christmas Trees
Our Scouts were busy last week selling Christmas Wreaths by order, and at Red-Robin Christmas Trees.
Thanks to Gerry Redmond of Red-Robin Christmas Trees (and maple syrup) for allowing us to sell at the farm during their popular annual Newfoundland dog event. The dogs were great at hauling trees and kids around, and were extremely well behaved.
Gerry and his staff were very friendly and accommodating, and offer a fun family-oriented Christmas Tree U-cut. Find them at 383 Route 616 (Keswick Ridge Road), or call at 506-470-5121.
Thanks to Ian Manning for snapping this photo of our efforts. Good luck on the MCFT Student Council fundraiser!
We still have wreaths for sale, but they will likely be gone by tomorrow. Talk to one of our members if you would like to buy one.
