Registration Night and Group Committee Meeting

Our 2009/2010 Scouting year begins on August 20, 2009 at our early bird registration night at the Parkallen Community Hall (Skate Shack behind the Hall) starting at 6:30 PM. Our Open House/Registration Night will be held mid September at the Parkallen school where you can meet all the leaders and see what our group offers for each of our programs. Regular meetings start the week after our Open House/Registration Night.

Fees for our Scout Group is what Scout Canada requires us to charge are:

Early Bird (August 20, 2009 ) is $165.00 per youth or $390.000 per family (3 or more youths).

2009/2010 season will be $180.00 per youth or $405.000 per family (3 or more youths).

This fee pays for the registration and Insurance with Scouts Canada.

Our Group has three Fundraisers we do every year. We do two bottle drives each year, one in October and another in April and a Scout Popcorn Sale. The Scout Popcorn is not a mandatory fundraiser for our group but Scouts Canada does have badges and prizes for children to earn and we give out Scout Bucks that can be redeemed at the Scout Shop.

Finally, we are always looking for parent volunteers to help out with our program either as a Parent Helper, member of our group committee or as a section leader.
