Tuesday, June 10 Meeting

Tonight will be our last meeting of the season.

We will be meeting at St. Marks church hall from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Come and play games, work on the "Ice Cream Badge" and say goodbye to everyone for the summer. We'll also be handing out Centennial badges for everyone to put on their uniform, as well as any Challenge badges that haven't been awarded yet.

Please wear your uniform as we'd like to take a group photo.

Please note that this is our last scheduled meeting until fall. But if any of you are interested in getting together over the summer for canoe trips or camping let us know and we might be able to put something together. You can reach Scouter Jim(my) at 216-0361 or email: greybrother@rogers.com . Scouter Dan can be reached at 847-9556 or email: dfarren@nb.sympatico.ca

Thanks to everyone for making it a fun Scouting year. Have a great summer.

Monday, June 9 Meeting

Monday June 9 we are meeting at the Irving Gun Club at 6:30 PM. It is a considerable drive so you should leave your house at 6:00 PM to get there on time. They will be instructing us on safe gun handling and target shooting with 22 caliber rifles.

If you have any questions please call Scouter Dan at 847-9556.
