A Big Thank You

I would like to thank all the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Parents and all volunteers who came out and helped make this a successful bottle drive for 2008. I would also like to thank the residents of Parkallen who donated all the bottles and food for the Edmonton Food Bank, friends and relatives who donated their bottles and especially the St. John's 22nd Scout Troop (who was conducting their own bottle drive) for all their help in unloading our cars, vans and boat.

Bottle Drive and Next Meeting

Our next Beaver meeting will be at the Parkallen School on October 15th at 6:30 PM.
On October 18th we have our first Bottle Drive fundraiser. It all starts at 9:00 AM and ends by 1:00 PM. Flyers will be delivered this week and all we have to do is collect the bottles. We will deliver the bottles to the Strathcona Bottle Depot through out the day. Best of all we do not have to sort. I hope to see you all there.

Walking in circles.

All in all the Beavers came dressed for the weather with their flashlights and beat the Cubs and Scouts out of the maze for the third straight year.

Yeah Beavers.

Corn Maze

All sections of the 24th Parkallen Scout Group will be off to challenge the Edmonton Corn Maze on October 8, 2008 at 6:30 PM.

The Beavers have beaten the Cubs and Scouts for the past two years and Sunshine, Rainbow and I believe we can do it a third straight year.
