Our group is now closed for the summer. Registration will be available over the summer. We will have a registration and orientation day on Thursday September 10, 2015.

What will we be doing over the summer? Well, I’ll be doing a bit of camping and searching through scouting resources for inspiration for next year.  We hope to have some amazing options to present the children for next years’ activities.

What kind of improvements will our group have next year? We will be implementing the White Tails’ Council, for 3rd Year (age 7 / Grade 2) Beaver Scouts which will meet to discuss Colony activities and explore leadership ideas and badge work in preparation for Cub Scouts.  White Tails may also get to plan a special adventure, or attend Cub Scout Meetings as appropriate. White Tails Council will meet 15 minutes prior to the first Thursday Meeting of every month.

Also, because our group is expected to grow to roughly 20 children, we will be using “Lodges” – smaller multi-age groups of 5-6 beavers, that will rotate responsibility for Colony Administration, leading ceremonies, and planning activities.  Beavers will be put into their lodges during a September meeting.

Have a great summer!

Registration for next year is open now! This years’ returning Beavers will receive their registration forms in the coming weeks.

Are you new? Email Rosie to arrange registration form drop off during one of our indoor meetings. Our group accepts paper registration forms only. Fee payment by cheque is required at the time of registration to hold your spot (if there is financial need talk to Rosie about No One Left Behind).

We have 8 of our 15 Beavers moving up to Cubs or moving to a different area, so there is plenty of space!

After the 8 spots are filled, we will only be able to accept more children if parents volunteer to help our group. Scouts Canada requires we have 1 Scouter for every 5 children at each meeting.

Don’t feel ready to lead games or crafts? That’s OK! Our returning Scouters (Rosie, Tim and Nardene) can do that.  Registered parent Scouters help us by ensuring SAFETY through supervision, set-up and clean-up of activities!  They also help us prepare the best program possible!  Check our volunteer page for more information or talk to any of the volunteer Scouters.
