Essential Info
 
Uniforms can be purchased at Scout House (14205-109 Ave NW).  For Beavers, the uniform is a vest & hat.  For Cubs & Scouts there are two options: a casual t-shirt or a more formal shirt with a collar.  For meetings, either is acceptable.  Please note that group crests and badges cannot be attached to the t-shirts.  You will be required to have the formal uniform shirt to participate in events such as camps, jamborees or ceremonies,  Don’t worry if you don’t have the uniform by the first meeting. The Group, Area and Council crests for your uniform will be supplied as will your necker and woggle (more on that later). 
For returning Families, if you have an old uniform that you don’t plan on keeping, please consider donating it back to the Group.
 
Our Group
24 Parkallen is proud of the fact that all sections meet on the same night and coordinate many activities.  We believe this is something that makes our group special.  Having all the different sections together allows for a unique experience, both for the Beavers and young Cubs who look up to the older kids and also for the Venturers, Scouts & older Cubs who get firsthand experience as role models and leaders.
 
This year, we are focusing on extending this sense of community to the families of our members and involving you in our Scouting “Family.”  We welcome your feedback and we encourage you to become involved in a way that works for you.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the Group at 24parkallenscouts@gmail.com.
