The first week after returning from March Break ended with this

It was a time of splashing, passing some badge requirements, sliding, relaxing in the hot tub and then off to enjoy pizza with veggies, and granola bars.   A fun time was had by all!! 

Sunday February 26th was the 24th Kitchener’s opportunity to celebrate Lord Baden Powell’s birthday with a church service.  The Theme was:

The Wisdom of the Turtle

Each age group of youth provided their piece of the service, you can stream the service here.    Camera 2 gives the best view.

All involved had a great time and the Congregation enjoyed seeing the youth, their work, and the refreshments after the service.

September 16-18 was the 24th Kitchener’s all-Section Fall Camp event at Blue Springs Scout Reserve.   A collection of Beavers to Rovers, Scouters and parents, 83 in all, hiked, did the obstacle course, did archery, did cooking over a campfire, had evening campfire time, all in perfect weather.

It was a great adventure for all. 

Yes, 24th Kitchener Scouters got their First Aid training and had fun doing it

The 24th Kitchener had it’s “Welcome to Summer” party at Breithaupt Park near the splash pad. Fun games, geocaching, big bubbles, as well as cooling on the pad provide for a great time. Then, we celebrated advancements and milestones and finished off the afternoon with a pot luck meal

Oct 22, 23, 24 of 2021 proved a wonderful opportunity to get back to camping.   The weather was a little chilly but the campfires kept all toasty.

2021Over the next eight-weeks, our Sections will visit eight different countries, develop new skills through fun challenges and support their communities and the planet by leading exciting “Scouts for Sustainability” activities.

With the help of a symbolic transporting compass, Scouting members can ping around the globe to different destinations quickly.   In each country they are faced with a challenge or a fun activity to champion as a Section. Once completed, the Section can collect a crest for that week and eventually curate the full composite crest!

Each week, Scouting mmbers will acquire a “GADGET” in pursuing their adventures; these items will be used in the activity for Week 8: Contraption Action, so they will be holding on to their GADGETS!

As COVID-19 becomes more controlled, the Cubs, Scouts and Venturers are taking an opportunity camp on the weekend of October 23^rd at Camp Heidelberg.

There is excitement and great expectation while the busy work of preparation occurs.
