Mapping out Corbett Brook Nature Trail

Our Scout Group recently applied for an environmental grant from Loblaw to clean up the Corbett Brook Nature Trail. On December 4, 2010, we had an afternoon of mapping the trail to get a feel for how much work would have to be done. Thomas, Scouter Ken and Scouter Lars were in attendance.

Christmas Parade Information

Hello Parents,

Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers will be taking part in the Santa Parade on Saturday, November 27th. We will be hiking.
Please sign up with your section leader before hand to let us know if you are planning on attending.

Youth are asked to dress in warm winter coats, snow pants, mittens, hat, campfire blankets, and bring their walking sticks.
Comfortable walking footwear is a must. Festive hats are great if they cover your ears!
You may bring your night vision, (red light) head gear/flashlight if you wish. We will be singing songs and hiking.
Small hand held musical instruments, are ok to bring if you wish to carry them the whole time.
Sorry, no pets are allowed to participate at scouting events due to safety reasons.

We realize it is a long walk for Beavers, however they are welcome to join for as long as they can.
For Scouts and Cubs, this counts towards badge work, so we do expect you to go the distance. 
It also counts towards your Council Commissioners Outdoor Challenge Award.
Hope to see everyone there.
