We had an amazing turnout at this year’s Burnaby Beaver Scout Campfire. There were at least 70 beavers from the area and we enjoyed the bright light of Scouter Tim’s campfire. We sang a lot of songs! We came together to “Fire’s Burning, Fire’s Burning”, sang “If I weren’t a beaver scout”, “Ham and Eggs”, “Tarzan”, “There was an Alligator”, and many more.

Out of our 19 Beavers, 15 were able to make it to the event. WOW! And those 15 beavers decided I should sing “The Wishy Washy Washerwoman”. So, that’s what we did. Everyone laughed so hard at the gross part!

It was also a special campfire because two of Burnaby Scouting’s longtime volunteers received their Silver Acorn awards. We were honoured to be a part of their celebration.

The weather, too, was perfect. And at the end, we enjoyed Hot Cocoa and a granola bar snack before heading to our homes for a good night’s sleep.

We are having our VERY important Investiture Ceremony at Beavers this week.

The Ceremony will take place around 7:15pm and parents are encouraged to attend.  This is the time when new Beavers become official members of our colony and swear the Beaver Promise and recite the Beaver Law. They will receive their scarves and group membership crests. They will be formally welcomed into 1st Southwest Scouts.

Your Beaver MUST be wearing his Beaver Hat and Beaver Vest to be invested.
