Winter Camp 2013

Our annual Winter Camp at Camp Evansburg will be on March 8 - 10, 2013.  This is an all section camp where youth get to go tubing, hiking, participate in outdoor games, skill development, crafts, stories, our all section Cub Car Classic Derby and camp fire sing along.  It is a lot of fun and hope to see you there.

Lest We Forget

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.

Happy Halloween & Fall Camp Pictures

Fall Camp was a great success.  I would like to thank all the parents who helped organize, shop and helped out at the camp.  As leaders we thank you for all of this as we could not have put on a camp without you.
