White Tail Beaver Museum Adventure Sleepover 2013

This year's Sleepover will again be held at the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. It will be held on three separate nights so don't miss out - REGISTER EARLY!!!

Come and celebrate your White Tails’ last year of Beavers at this special event. This is not your ordinary visit to a museum. It offers adventure, learning, fun, creativity, special visitors, food, songs, games, and excitement. Picture yourself sleeping with the locomotives, or in outer space.

The Sleepover starts after supper at home and includes a variety of activities, a snack before bedtime, and the evening ends with a Campfire/Singsong with 250 other 7-year-old Beavers and adults from all across the Voyageur Council. The following morning includes breakfast, more activities and a Scouts Own. The Beavers will be leaving the museum about 8:45 A.M.

The maximum number of participants for each Sleepover is 250. Over the years the Sleepover has been filled to capacity. This year's fee will be $26 per person and it is important to get it in early for best selection of nights. Let us know tomorrow if any white tails are interested!

Beavers! Cleaning the Capital!

 
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.
