The organizing committee of the Rideau Area All Sections Activity day on Oct 24 are looking for some feedback from leaders, parents and the beavers themselves.
If you have any comments you want to make, good or bad, let us know and we will pass them on. Tell us what your child's favourite activity was. Tell us what his least favourite activity was. What could be improved? What went well? Anything you want to say, we'll pass the word.

Fun at Baxter's
The kids certainly had a great time at Baxter's Conservation area at the Rideau Area All Sections Activity Day. Here are some snap shots highlighting some of the activities we did:
Of course this is only a sample. There were many other activities such as campfires, a man hunt with the Venturers, a scavenger hunt with the Scouts, catapults, mazes, and a lot more fun.
For those that took photos, if you don't mind sending them to me I would appreciate it.
October 27 - Halloween Party

Popcorn reminder
How are the popcorn sales going? We are about half way through the sale period. Don't forget I need your order forms and money collected and turned in no later than our meeting on Oct 27.
If you don't sell anything, that is fine, but I need to know so that I don't try and track you down when I don't get an order form back from you.
Reminder - the Beaver that has the highest amount of sales on Oct 27 will win an instant prize - a Lego set!
Keep selling - just over one week to go!

Apple Day Results
Great Job everyone!
The 1st Manotick Group collected approximately $2200 from our Apple Day efforts! Outstanding! This includes the money rasied here in Riverside South as well as in the Manotick area.
After expenses and a contribution upward to the Rideau Area, our profits will be approximately $1750. This is money that will be used for leader training, group supplies, and other group sponsored events (Baden Powell Celebrations, Swim Up, Camps etc).
Keep up the good work! Don't forget Popcorm orders are due back this month!

October 13 - Change of Plans!
Due to the weather forecast (very wet!), it is expected that Camp No'Chimik will be very muddy and cold. As such, I decided that we will move our meeting this week back inside the school. Therefore, do not go to Camp No'Chimik, go to St Jerome's as usual!
We will still have a "camp fire" of sorts, with songs and games, but there will be no fire. Just fun!
C Colony will still join us, so there will be lots of Beavers to share in the adventure.
See you at the school at our normal time - 6:15!

Neckers
I have enough neckers for all our Beavers. Therefore, everyone will be invested this week (Oct 6) and receive their necker and woggle.
If you didn't make it to the Scout Shop yet to buy a necker, no need to rush out there before Tuesday, you can buy it from me directly. ($5 necker, $7 necker and woggle including taxes).
