A Request and Some Reminders

Hello,

Please try to remember indoor shoes.  We know it's crazy, so many activities, so many pairs of shoes.  Indoor shoes mean we can plan active games for the children and keep them moving on indoor nights.
Next week's meeting has been moved to Wednesday.  Come dressed for outdoors.  We will be outside for part of the evening.  The meeting will run from 6:30 until 7:30 at Trinity Bible Church on Stagecoach.
We would like to do some woodworking with the children.  We are asking for donations of good pieces of wood.  We will determine what can be made once we collect the donations.  You may bring the pieces to any meeting and a leader will collect it.  Thank you!
Bring a friend nights will begin the week of the 25th.  If you are planning on bringing a friend, please let us know so we can be sure to have the proper ratio and materials for guests.  Bring a friend nights continue until the end of the year.  The visiting children should be in junior kindergarten, senior kindergarten, grade one or grade two.  Parents of visiting children are welcome to stay, but are reminded that they may not take part in programming unless they have undergone the Scouts Canada screening for volunteers.

Thank You!


Beaver buggies!

Beaver Buggy Racing will be held at Trinity Bible Church on Wednesday, February 20th.  We will be meeting in conjunction with the Cubs.  The meeting will begin at 6:30 and end at 7:30.  At least part of the meeting will be held outdoors unless it is extremely cold or actively raining.

January 21st Winter Fun Night has been rescheduled due to the extreme cold weather forecast.
