New Photo Album
Posted by Scouter Jim on Sep.02, 2011, under Group, Scouts
We are working to give you more and better features on 24th.ca
Moving forward, our photo library and its albums are going to be hosted by a professional image management application called SmugMug.
The first album we have loaded is full of many great pictures of our Troop’s camp week at Haliburton Scout Reserve in early August.
Here are some of the benefits that we hope you will enjoy.
- Right in the photo gallery you have a slide show that you can advance at your own speed or let the timer scroll you through automatically.
- Clicking on any of the images will take you to the SmugMug page where we store full resolution images. Here you can scroll through the images in several formats AND
- You can order professionally developed prints right on line from the full res file – not the low res image on our site. 4 x6 prints start as low as $.19 each. 24 x 36 full colour posters at $35.99.
- You can also select several prints and have an album professionally printed or order your favourite pic on a mug, ceramic tile, coasters, cards, magnets and more.
SmugMug will send your order right to your home. Payment is made by Credit Card in US funds to directly to SmugMug.
Coming soon you will be able to upload your images to us from 24th.ca and we will approve them and send them right to our SmugMug gallery.

Scouter Peter was presented with the Murray Fried Memorial Scouting Award. You will recognize Scouter Peter as the Manager of our local Scout Shop, but Scouter Peter’s roots are with 24th Kitchener. He was a 24th Cub way back when and then a 24th Scout leader for many years. Scouter Peter is the one that started our Annual Christmas Tree Sale 18 years ago! - A tradition that continues today and is responsible for making Scout Jamborees and other events affordable for many Scouting youth. |

Roger Farnham has been selected to receive one of Scouting’s most prestigious awards, the Silver Acorn. This is an award “for especially distinguished service to Scouting“. We are all very proud of Roger and we congratulate him on this wonderful recognition.
The North Waterloo Area Awards Evening, on May 26th, 2011, will see our Area recognize Roger’s milestone. The details for the evening are listed on the NWA site.
This is a great opportunity for the 24th Kitchener Scouting family to come out and support Roger. Bring yourself, some dishes, a chair or blanket and your hunger for the BBQ, then join other Scouters and Scouts in this evening of fellowship, pride and kinship with Roger.
