Just a couple of quick things to communicate, to keep everyone on the same page.
May 21 is our last Colony meeting. We will also have an end of year party of sorts that we'll talk more about shortly.
I would also ask that you please make sure that your Beaver does not bring anything extra to our weekly meetings. When one little guy has a favorite hot wheel car, or lego man, or whatever extra something in hand to fiddle with .....it creates a distraction.
We're also noticing the energy level in the room is increasing, might be the time change or shifting seasons. We're going to try to plan more active games to take advantage of that vibe, most of our recent sit down games and crafts have lost focus quickly. Beavers are busy, we'll do more busy too.
This Tuesday, we're also going to have a small investiture ceremony for our 3 new Beavers (John, Noah, and Cameron) and 2 leaders. We'll run through our Law, Promise and Motto as a group as well.
To our White tails, I've reached out to our local Cub pack to see if we can get some more linking activities in the calendar as well.
...........are any of you on Facebook? I shared a picture of our beaver buggies night with Scouts Canada, and they shared it too!! Fun to see our little guys efforts recognized.

Quick heads up folks - I was just informed/reminded that the school gym is not available to us Tuesday night. St Jerome is running a blood donor clinic in their gym, so we the Leaders have to think quickly and come up with a plan B.
Odds are high we'll capitalize on the mild weather, and have some snow fort fun outside. Keep your eye out here in the AM Tuesday, we'll have an updated posted before 9AM on Tuesday.
** Tuesday morning edit. Yes, we will be playing outside in the snow outside tonight. We'll meet out front of the school and make our way to the cool snowbanks around by the tennis courts. Pick up and drop off will be at the school front door, as usual. Bundle up, we'll see you tonight.

Hey Everybody the weather forecast looks favorable so we are going to have a skating night tonight at the community rink beside Steve Maclean school. Even though it is predicted to be quite mild, please bundle your Beaver up appropriately - including helmets.
We will have a soccer ball or two, for some skate-soccer type games .....but tonight will mostly be a nice leisurely evening skate with friends. Parents and siblings are more than encouraged to attend as well. Please keep in mind that this is a public rink, and that other folks will be there enjoying the rink as well.
See you tonight at 6:15 at the Steve Maclean rink!!

Tonight's going to be slightly different folks, for our brown and blue (5 and 6 year old Beavers) it is a regular meeting in the Gym. We'll be doing some Valentine's day crafts with a sprinkle of fun and games as well.
White tails (7 year old Beavers), have been invited to join the Kub Kar Rally at St. Francis Xavier High School with C Pack. A Colony's Hawkeye (Bill) will be joining the white tails at St. FX .........Be sure to bring your Beaver Buggy's!!! It should be a fun night of racing with the Cub's.
NOTE: Cub's meet from 6:30 to 8, which might be a little long for your liking. If you would prefer to pick up your Beaver after 1 hour (Our usual meeting length) feel free. If you are not familiar with the St. FX school, pick up and drop off are around to the left side of the building. Enter the school there, and walk down the hall to the left and you will see the doors to the gym on the right.
Have fun!

February 5, 2013 - Race Night!
It's Beaver Buggy race night! We'll be racing our buggies on big awesome tracks tonight all night. Please be sure to remember to bring your decorated Buggy (and indoor shoes, the usual)!!
We will have a 'Buggy Pit' setup, where we can make any last minute fixes and/or adjustments, like adding weight.
Remember ..........buggies race on tracks, do not modify the bottom of your car in any way. You risk dragging the center rail if your car runs low. Nothing can stick out the sides past the wheels either, or they will interfere with the car in the next lane.
Beavers ............Take your marks! Get set!!......GO!!!

Regular meeting in the Gym tonight folks. Please try to remember to bring your beaver buggies, we'll be talking about them, building a little, and talking about our Moster Buggy Rally next week.
Some fun run around games of course too (Mini sticks was a huge hit last week!) so please bring some indoor shoes.
NOTE: I have collected a number of neckers, hats and parts of uniforms. Please do your best to find all of your Beaver's uniform parts, and we'll do our best to ensure that everyone has all of their kit tonight too.
