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

Our Cubs and Scouts did a fabulous job on our Annual Spring Food Drive. (first one since 2019)
