As some of you may know there is an upcoming camp trip planned for the weekend
of January 28th to January 30th. This camp trip is located at Goodyear Memorial
Scout Camp, located just North of Orangeville. The Beavers will again be joining
the 91st Cubs for this outing. We have booked a cabin with heating, beds and
kitchen facilities. There is no indoor plumbing in the cabin, but outhouses
are close by.
If your Beaver is going to attend, please respond before the next Beaver meeting,
so I could let the Cub leader know how many are going to be at the camp( we
have a leader planning meeting on the 13th to discuss the camping trip)
There is limited space available, I believe enough space for 26 people in total.
Beaver parents are not required to attend with their child, but if you would
like to attend it will depend on space availability.
The cost for the upcoming camp outing will be $20.00 per beaver and for any
parent planning on attending it will be $30.00.
Permission slips will be available on the 18th as well as maps and a "what
to bring list" for those who have expressed interest in attending. These
forms and payment should be returned on the 25th of January.
For more information please see camp letter

On Saturday, February 19th, the Beavers and Cubs will be having a sleep over at Fort York. This is a great opportunity for everyone to attend since Fort York is only about 15-20 minutes from the Bowmore area. We would like to give all the Beavers the opportunity to experience this event and therefore we will be subsidizing the cost of the sleep over from $35.00 to $20.00. Parents, if you wish to attend, the cost will be $8.00, however, we have limited spaces for adults (leaders and parents) as the barracks can only accommodate 40 in total (25 beavers / cubs and 15 adults). Please hand in your money ASAP if you wish to attend to save your space in the barracks.
