November 7, 2012 Meeting Cancelled



Due to the severe snow storm today and that the road conditions are not the greatest we are cancelling our regular meeting for November 7, 2012.  Our Scout Group will be meeting next week at the Parkallen School on November 14th. 

Please note that our annual march in the Remembrance Day Parade at the U of A Butterdome is this November 11th.  Please arrive in full uniform and meet me, Robert Leddy on the floor of the Butterdome no by 9:30 AM.  There is free parking at the University of Alberta for this special day.
