Beaver Colony Investiture

On Tuesday night at our next meeting we will be investing our new Kits and one leader. Parents are invited to stay and watch as we do our opening in the gym and then proceed to invest our new kits at the colony flag. They will repeat the Law, Promise and Motto after the leader and then parents will put on the newly minted Beavers neckers. This is a big moment for them as they become one of the colony. Also we will be giving out their lodge badges. Refreshments to follow.

Receipts for tax purposes

As registrar I will be issuing tax receipts in the coming weeks. These receipts are eligible for the child fitness tax credit.

The children's fitness tax credit lets parents claim up to $500 per year for eligible fitness expenses paid for each child who is under 16 years of age at the beginning of the year in which the expenses are paid.

Beavers Tuesday night

We will be choosing our lodges and also giving out tails to our Beavers and Kits. Remember to plan to attend the upcoming sleepover on the 17th of October at Yoho.

Cub Meeting Tuesday

The Cubs will be forming their sixers on Tuesday night. They will be discussing routines and expectations during the year. Also the Akela is planning on teaching some basic juggling skills to the boys.

Popcorn Sale

The Popcorn sale is on!! Remember to set a goal for your child and help them reach it. The prize chart is a good way to help them set that goal. Sell to Family first then co-workers and friends/neighbours and remember to always wear your uniform. The dates for popcorn sales are Sept 22 until the 15th of October. All paperwork and any money must be in by the 23 of October as we input that day to qualify for prizes. This is one of the ways we raise money for all the fun we have through the year. Happy Selling!!!

Thanks,
