Well, it is finally almost here! All Sections Camp starts tomorrow.

If you are not sure where in Birds Hill Park, be sure to check the Maps page. We will be in Group Use Area#2. We will be in campsite #2 in the area. (also see map above)

Arrival time is between 6-8 p.m. If you would like to come down earlier, you can BUT your leaders can't guarantee we will be there much earlier.

We also are expected to be camping inside our subcamp only. Subcamps will be handed out at registration. As soon as we know where we are camping, we will allocate tenting spots.


 * This is a rain-or-shine event.** Given the week we have had, be sure to bring a few changes of clothes -- including dry pyjamas and plenty of socks!

Thanks to our Group Commisioner and his team for our Windup. The weather certainly beat the cold -- and snow! -- from last time!

It is less than a week from Summer All Sections Camp at Birds Hill Park! We will be arriving and setting up on Friday evening (June 3) after 6:00 p.m. (though some leaders are looking towards an earlier arrival).

If you have any issues, be sure to contact Hawkeye or Malak as soon as possible. The sooner we know, the better chance we have to help.

See you there, me Hearties. Ar-r-r-r...

May 9
Well, it has been decided: the Wind-Up will be on Sunday, May 29. Time is again 3:30-5:30 p.m.

We will be scheduled for St. Vital Park (by the Duck Pond). But in case of bad weather, we will meet at the Church instead.

If you have paid but cannot make the new date, I will give you your refund. If you did not pay before and want to come out, let Malak know.

Hope to see you there.

May 4
No word yet on when the Wind-Up is to be rescheduled. Please check back...

April 29

 * __IMPORTANT NOTICE__**: Due to expected __snow__ and low temperatures, the __WIND-UP HAS BEEN POSTPONED__ to a later date.  We are still confirming what the new date will be.

If you paid but are not able to attend, your money will be refunded.

Also note that we are considering a change of venue (in case of future weather or flooding events).

All updates will be posted here and on the schedule page.

We need to get our initial camp registration in on Thursday, April 28, i.e. TOMORROW.

For everyone that signed up for camp,... > I will be contacting you for T-shirt sizes! Camp shirts come in both youth (S/M/L) and adult (S/M/L/XL/2XL/3XL).

For everyone that WAS NOT SURE whether to sign up for camp,... > I will be contacting you later today to see whether you have decided.

If you read this ahead of the call, you can send me an E-mail or call 257-6827 with the following:


 * whether or not you are attending (if you already paid, I already know (of course))
 * names of parents/siblings that will be attending
 * shirt sizes for everyone

It is in your best interest to get me your shirt size. If I cannot get your shirt size, I will have to take a reasonable guess.


 * ALSO**

White Tails, could you let me know if you are going to be camping with the Cubs instead of the Beavers.

Reminder that we will be visiting the library tomorrow night.

Our plan is to meet at the church and walk over to the library across Dakota. There will a story time and tour. After the visit, we will walk back for closing. **Dress appropriately for the walk.**

Please arrive between 6:30 and 6:40 so that we can leave promptly at 6:40. If you arrive late, you will have to bring your Beaver directly to the library and sign them in with the leaders.

Beavers will __not__ be dismissed from the library. All Beavers will walk back to the church for pickup. This policy is important to make sure all Beavers are picked up safely.

//We cannot guarantee that the church will be open while we are at the library. If no one else is there, the door will be locked and the alarm set.//

Several parents noted that the official Moose Night invitation had an invalid date on it. I have asked for an official statement about when the night is. However, the letter to Scouters (above in the **Downloads** section) does give a valid date of Saturday, Feb. 12.


 * UPDATE: Saturday, Feb. 12 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY RYAN PORTER OF THE MANITOBA MOOSE HOCKEY CLUB (via E-mail).**

Remember: Tonight is special two ways.

Stuffie Night - Bring a favourite stuffed friend for fun and games

Bring-a-Buddy Night - We hope to have lots of new faces tonight as Beavers can bring along friends so they can join the fun and see what Beavers is all about!

Tomorrow is the Santa Clause Parade. Please bring your Beaver down to the float.

Our float is #49. The float will be built on a flatbed semi-trailer. The truck will be parked on one of the streets south of Portage (between Portage and Broadway), either Sherbrook, Furby, or Langside (sorry I don't know more specifically than that).

Look for a Scout or Beaver leaders and particularly look for our flags.

DRESS WARMLY. We will be outside the whole time. Think winter boots and warm socks, long undies, a few layers.

Youth do not need to wear their uniform but please wear your necker outside your jacket where it can be seen.

And above all, Have Fun!!

October 25, 2010
Just a reminder that **there is no Beavers meeting tonight** because we are linking with the Cubs **on Tuesday instead**.

Be sure to bring your costume tomorrow!

Thank you to everyone who made our fall camp a success!! Remember that the spring one has a completely different flavour. It will be a multi-section camp with much more activities and activities that were restricted during the fall camp due to the cooler temperatures.

In two weeks is the A-Maze-in-Corn outing. If you missed tonight's deadline for payment call Mrs. Hawkeye (aka Linda) and the numbers will be updated. We need to know ahead of time so we can reserve the fire pit there, and if we pay all at once we get the discount.

Because our schedule is not set in stone we encourage parent's input. If you have an idea you would like to see implemented please suggest it to one of the leaders or post it up on the message part of this site.

Registration Night was a big success. We would like to welcome all our new and returning Beavers.

We would particularly like to thank everyone who agreed to step forward as new leaders this year! We would not be able to do it without your help.

Welcome to all!

The new Scouting year is only a month away. At the Colony, we have already started planning a fun-filled year. Watch this space for updates.

One big event that will be happening early this year is our 2nd Fall Camp! Following on the hugely successful heels of last year's first ever, this year's camp again promises a load of fun and adventure. We are currently booking Oct. 2-3 at Camp Amisk.
