Popcorn!



Scout Popcorn is the single most important fundraiser for our Beaver Colony. The money raised from this program, stays with A Colony and funds our entire year. Good programming costs money, and this nation wide program introduced by Scouts Canada that allows for just that.

Popcorn forms went home last week. We encourage you to help support our Colony with this program.

For payment by check, please make the payable to "1st Manotick - Scouts Group "

The popcorn order forms have to be returned to us at the by October 22nd, we will be providing reminders along the way between now and then. Product delivery, will occur in November.

There are some awesome prizes to be won for top performers.

Beavers! Cleaning the Capital!

Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital - Celebrating 20 Years! Logo

 
Who?: A Colony is 'hosting' our 3rd annual Community Cleanup. We've invited the parents and siblings of our Colony, to join us as we help "Take care of the world" right here in our own neighborhood.
 
What? For the second year in a row, we've registered with the City of Ottawa's Cleaning the Capital program.

When? Saturday, September 28. We are asking for one (1) hour of help, between 10AM and 12PM. We know that family weekends are busy, we hope that asking for one hour of time any time within this 2 hour window will provide you with enough flexibility to be able to fit this into your day.

Where? We're setting up in the Mountain Meadows parking lot, off of Spratt Road here in Riverside South. We plan on cleaning the entire park, including the forested area in behind the retail strip, all the way to the fence line that separates the B.G.M. school yard from the park.

Why? Parks get messy, and Beavers like to help.

We will have cleaning supplies (Garbage bags, gloves, and paper compost bags) on site courtesy of the city program. As well as some juice boxes.

Please dress appropriately for spending an hour outside, closed toed shoes are recommended. Beaver hats are encouraged, full beaver uniforms are not required.
