Spring 2021 - Wrapping Up for the Summer

Wrap-up Meeting and Moving Up Ceremonies: 

As we approach summer, with just a few meetings left, it’s time to plan for our upcoming wrap-up meeting. This year, we cannot provide food, and we will not be able to have parents attend (due to Provincial Health Authority restrictions), so we won’t be holding it at Warner Loat park. Instead, it will take place at Wesburn Park where our sections have been meeting this spring.

While as of this email there may be a few more meetings of your section, this meeting will be the last one for both Beavers and Cubs.  Troop is working on a Great 8 Challenge that lasts into the middle of June and have a day camp the following weekend, so they will be continuing for a bit.

Date and Time:

Wednesday June 2^nd, 2021 at Wesburn Park.

Beavers 6:30-7:30 except white tails who will stay until 8:00 with the cub pack

Cubs 6:30-8:00 except howlers who will stay until 9:00 with the scout troop

Scouts 7:00-9:00

Moving Up:

At this meeting, the older beavers and cubs (white tails and howlers) will be graduated to the next section.  In September, the white tails will be meeting with the cubs and the howlers will be meeting with the scouts.  We have two scouts who will be registered as venturers but will be able to continue to participate with Troop.  Your scouters will send emails to those who are going up to the next section.

Agenda:

The following is our agenda for the moving up ceremonies, but be aware that your section scouters will provide you with instructions for any activities that you will be doing. Parents, please note the start and end times for your sections. If you have older beavers or cubs who are moving up to the next section, (beavers who turned or will turn 8 this year or older, cubs who turned or will turn 11 this year or older), then your pick up time will be when the next section up ends.  If in doubt, ask your scouters:

o   Beavers on north side of creek, Cubs on south side

o   Cubs may move to a different location in the park after they meet

What to Bring:

Your section scouter will send an email telling you what you need to bring. As always, you will be asked the pre-screening questions and if you are feeling sick, you cannot come.

Early Registration for 2022:

In early September, there will be a 2 week span during which you will be able to register for 2022.  After that, Scouts Canada opens registration up to the general public.  Please note that we have a waitlist for people who want to register already.  If you do not register in September when we restart, you may find that the group becomes full with other people and we will not be able to take you.  You will get emails both from Scouts Canada and from us when that time comes.
