August, 2008

Welcome, everyone, to Arbour Lake 245 Scout Group's 2008-2009 season, starting with our big 10^th birthday, and entering our 11^th year of operation!

Arbour Lake 245 is a proudly registered Group under the Scouts Canada charter, sponsored by the Arbour Lake Community Association.  We believe in family values, community values, good citizenship, and the principles and practices of Scouts Canada.

We have three youth Sections for boys and girls aged 5 – 14, managed by a Group Committee:

• Beavers (5- to 7-year olds)
  Our Beaver Colony is rolling along with 18 registered Beavers  They meet every Monday at St. Ambrose School, at 6:00 p.m.  If you are interested in registering your child in Beavers, please note that we already have so many that we can only accept new members if a parent also volunteers as a leader.
  
  
• Wolf Cubs (8- to 10-year olds)
  Our Cub Pack, consisting of 17 Cubs, has an exciting "pack" of activities planned.  They meet every Monday at St. Ambrose School, following the Beavers, at 7:15 p.m.  If you are interested in registering your child in Cubs, please note that we already have so many that we can only accept new members if a parent also volunteers as a leader.
  
  
• Scouts (11- to 14-year olds)
  Mountain biking, camping, climbing, and cross-country skiing in the mountains, are only some of the fun outings already done or in the works, in addition to a regular program of badge work.  The Scout Troop meets every Monday from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Brigid School in Citadel.
  
  

We have some new faces that have joined us as Leaders and volunteers this year in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.  On behalf of the youngsters and the entire Arbour Lake 245 Scout Group, I would like to give all our new Leaders a warm welcome!

Join us!
