Scouters for a Cure (l-r) Glen, Larry, Ron, Nancy, Ron, Larry, David
Shortly after 9am Sunday morning with the rain coming down light and steady the 7 of us headed out on our 50km adventure to help raise awareness and $ for Diabetes Research.
Despite the rain, we all had a great ride, though Nancy at times felt left behind by the ‘pack’ =o)
We really had a great ride, and made all the better by the great friends that joined us on our journey.
Here’s a few photos from our day on Facebook.
Can’t wait to do it again next year!
Had an awesome weekend with the Cubs @ Nemo Scout Camp!
Our theme was ‘Back to the Future’!
7th Milton brought in a projector etc. and the Cubs were able to watch the first movie Friday night then the second part on Saturday night! Parents, get to your Block Buster or Roger’s soon there’ll be a run on part III LOL..
On the Saturday afternoon, Ken from http://timemachineforhire.com dropped by to let the kids check out a Delorean Time Machine! Thank you to Ken for sharing his passion with us!

The Cubs and Leaders all had a great time!
Tragic story, with an ending that keeps getting better!

WTG Jim Prentice (Environment Minister)!
Government youth project aimed at environmental awareness.
Growing up I spent a HUGE amount of my spare time in and around Georgian Bay Islands National Park as well as many Provincial Parks and Conservation Areas. Those experiences coupled with my journey in Scouting as a youth really helped shape who I am today.
The education, and life skills that are offered in the great out doors is an awesome gift for the youth of today!

This just in… Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have been seized by H1N1 Panic and taking no chances have isolated and quarantined Piglet!
Pooh’s lovable friend and side-kick was spared no sympathy as many residents are blaming him for the entire swine flu pandemic! Late Friday night (Devil’s Night), Piglet’s friends and neighbours, overcome by the influences of the almost full moon and the media scare tactics surrounding the current H1N1 Pandemic, took it upon themselves to kidnap and isolate their good friend Piglet fearing that they might all contract Swine Flu from their association with their former friend.
Donning n95 surgical masks and vinyl gloves to protect themselves the mob came upon the unsuspecting piglet while he was getting a drink from the neighbourhood well. (more…)
This past Friday evening, while driving home from Wild Water Kingdom, west bound along Mayfield Road just north of Georgetown, the Boyd family was in awe of the beautiful sunset they were witnessing.
While taking pictures, Mrs. Boyd had thought she’d seen, “Something flash by incredibly quickly, out of the corner of my eye.”
Upon reviewing the photos she’d taken, it was discovered that she’d actually captured the vapour trail of an UFO!
When asked to comment, NASA experts were at a loss for words. 24 hours later the Canadian Government had called in a recovery team from NASA. They assembled in the field that the craft had launched from. Within short order they’d stripped the landscape bare, confiscating and removing any and all evidence.
The Boyds’ are just excited to know for sure that we are not alone…
What an awesome day for the walk this year! We got ourselves up ready and off, arriving at Streetsville Memorial Park around 8:30am. Shortly after our arrival we realized we forgot all our pledges!!!!! Luckily, they have the online numbers at the registration desks and we were able to send in the rest after the walk!
Very cool.. I mentioned to one of the staff that it would be nice to be able to purchase t-shirts for those that don’t get over the $100 in pledges.. eg. Aaron. Well he said “Just a minute,” and went and found one just the perfect size for him! You should have seen the smile, getting his own Walk Shirt!
Christopher also lucked out, they’d run out of his prize (> $250 received a jacket) so he was bumped up to a back pack! No one at his school has one like that now! lol (more…)
