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!! 

Help us Gain Weight!

Our goal this year is to collect more than 1 ton – in one night!

We’ve done it before, and we’re determined to do it again.

But we need your help.

Door to Door collection will be on.

Monday, April 3rd
between 6pm and 9pm.

All donations will be delivered directly to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region for distribution to our neighbours in need.

We are unable to knock on each door at the time of pick-up so please leave your donation outside, nnear your front door clearly marked with a “24”. The map below shows the area we be collecting from.

If you live outside the area shown on the map, but would like to help us Gain Weight, we would be happy to accept your donations of nonperishable food bank items at St. James’-Rosemount United Church at the following times…

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)
