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)

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 11th
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…

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.
