Well done to our Cubs and Scouts who braved the cold this weekend for an adventurous early “Summer” camp. Some of our activities involved archery, campfires, and racing plastic ducks.

Well done to all of our Scouts that came to our second annual Winter Lodge Social at Mortimer Lodge, or Silverhelme Scout Activity Centre.

The weekend will be focused around teamwork, sharing skills, and taking […]

It’s that time of year again, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all at our 2017 Annual General Meeting, and get-together. All members of the Group, or of the Exec and their families are invited for a short meeting, awards presentation, and a bite to eat. This year we’ll be holding the event at […]
This weekend, we held our bi-annual (that’s every other year in this case) group family camp, with young people and their families taking part in activities from low-ropes courses, to bell-boating, to sailing, to geo-caching. We really did it all. We’d like to extend a special thanks to all of the parents and Exec members […]
