The cubs recently took to the water to work on their water skills.

I’m sure in this heat they wish they were back out on the water today 🥵

All sections came together with their families last night for an end of year bbq. This included swim-up/advancement for several youth to their new sections.

While the summer time doesn’t end the scouting program we do take a break from regular weekly meetings.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

During our JOTT camp last weekend, the troop used their compass skills to locate an injured stormtrooper.

He was rescued, brought back to camp where he received first aid and cpr, then he turned from the dark side to the light side just in time for group campfire.

It’s National Volunteer Week, so make sure you take a moment and thank a scouter.

Their dedication, commitment and passion help facilitate the exciting adventures the youth get to enjoy on a weekly basis

Lest we forget

For those interested in the sky, or working on their space badges

The Constellation Auriga and the Bright Star Capella Auriga the Charioteer is a popular constellation on northern autumn evenings. That's because its flashing star advertises its presence. Capella, the brightes...

New Beaver Scouts Molly and Sophia were recently invested into the colony; as well Scouter “Tic Tac” received her Woodbadge 1 beads.

Congrats everyone!

This weekend our scouting members will be out in the community for our annual Apple Day fundraiser.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and as a thank you enjoy a yummy apple 🍎

Today is so best time to share the troops canoe adventure to Pinehurst Conservation Area last week.

Youth got to work on their paddling skills, for some the first time being in a canoe!

Two of our venturers, Sam and Kathleen recently received their Medal of The Maple. The award is designed to honour those youth who have contributed to the Scouting Movement and the spirit of Scouting through community service, extraordinary Scouting participation, and a solid system of personal values.

Save the date, lots more outdoor adventures coming up this spring!

Happy Founder’s Day!

Every year on 22 February, we take this opportunity to recognise the birthday of Scouting’s Founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, and to celebrate the lasting legacy of the Scout Movement which for over 100 years has empowered young people with the life and leadership skills to improve their communities, and create a better world.

What began with a small group of Scouts on Brownsea Island, has grown into a worldwide Movement of 57 million young people and volunteers united together by the Scout Promise, a shared set of values, and a commitment towards service.
