The Scouts are putting together a Scout/Guide Week Church Service for Feb 27, 2011. 20th Group has done this in the past.

This week is celebrated annually as Scouts Week. Both Scouts Canada and Girl Guides of Canada enjoy celebratory events, in the spirit of camaraderie and friendship between our two Movements.

This is a chance for us to show our appreciation to the Meadowood United Church for their support. The Church has generously allowed us to use their meeting hall and basement for storing our flags, crafts and equipment. Attendance also helps fulfill some badge requirements.

Parents and siblings are welcome to attend This service is open to everyone; you do not have to be a member of this church or any church in order to attend. Parents can also wait in the hall or come back to pick up your child at 11:30 AM after the service. Cookies, Coffee and Juice will be serviced right after the service. Please show up at the Church at **10:15 a.m. IN FULL UNIFORM**, in order to help setup. ||
