Fall Bottle Drive and Edmonton Food Bank Drive October 15th

October 15th is our annual Fall Bottle Drive and Edmonton Food Bank Drive. This is our first fund raiser for the year and we will also be collecting food bank donations. All our volunteers are reminded to meet at the Parkallen Community Hall (6510 - 111 Street) by 9:00 AM.  We will have snacks and drinks available for all who come out and help.

Note: For this Drive, no sorting will be required!  We will be taking the bottles to the depot to be sorted.

Please wear your uniform, if you have one.  Bring your parents and a friend if you like.  The more people who help, the better.  We are counting on you!

The Parkallen Scouting Group  will use the money we raise to pay for activities and materials needed for all sections (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts): field trips, camps and program materials (badges, building materials, equipment, craft materials etc.)

"Many hands make light work"

(And we'll have fun too!)

Summer Scouting

While officially on break some of our Scouts were willing and able to help volunteer for Scouts Canada at the grand opening of Cabela's in Edmonton. Scouts Canada had a tent for set up in the parking lot of Cabela's to celebrate the grand opening weekend and promote Scouting in Edmonton. Sydney and Aura volunteered two days to help one of the many things that they take part in and enjoy. They helped with set up/take down, show some of the skills that you learn through scouting and how to bring on the adventure. We like to thank all the people and volunteers who came out and put this event together.
