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!
Alex Ecclestone and Sara Boyd of the 4th Georgetown Scout Troop stand proud after receiving the Chief Scout Award.

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!
We had an awesome spring camp this year!
Mrs. Bagheera put together an excellent spring camp for us at Country Heritage Park in Milton.
We arrived Friday night (most of us between 7 and 7:30 pm). 12 Cubs, 2 Scouts, 7 Scouters and 1 Trooper.
Camp was set up and we decided to share a pavillion with the 92nd Brampton Guides. Honestly with flush toilets, running (potable) water, electric lights in the pavillion, access to indoors to store our food and supplies… it’s really hard to call it camping lol.. It wasn’t even hard to put in the tent pegs!
On the other side though we can still classify it as ‘roughing it’ as Hathi, Mang and Akela went out of tune on a few songs… Oh and we did sleep in tents and it rained from 2am Friday night off and on through till late Saturday night. (more…)
What a great weekend!
The 4th Georgetown Cub Pack held their first ‘Winter Olympics’ this past weekend at Barber Memorial Scout Camp in Guelph, ON.
Mr. & Mrs. Bagheera put together an awesome program for our camp this weekend. The theme was Winter Olympics, the goal was to get every Cub in attendance their Athlete’s badge! It was a great success, the kids really enjoyed themselves too.

Wow, what an awesome day! Sara, Chris and I had a ton of fun.
About 40 of us, from 4th Georgetown (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, parents and leaders) all met up this morning at St. Andrews United in Georgetown and hiked down to Hungry Hollow to Clean up some of the Silver Creek that runs through the ravine as part of the TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.
The Town of Halton Hills had mentioned that they had done a clean up back in April and they weren’t too sure if it would be worth it. We are glad we went ahead!

Wow! We had an awesome weekend!
Last weekend we had about 75 Cubs and Leaders from Greater Halton get together for a camp at Valens Conservation Area in Cambridge.
We did the camp opening Friday night and successfully executed a traditional Jungle Opening (though it wouldn’t win any awards, lol). (more…)
Wow! what an awesome weekend! (View a photo slide show of the weekend)
Our Cub Pack (4th Georgetown) spent the weekend at African Lion Safari (Cambridge).
Friday Grey Brother headed out late morning to pick our site and begin setting everything up. Bagheera, myself and our families were going to head out mid afternoon to complete the set up. Well Bagheera made it, our brood was running behind but we did get there by 5:00. The rest of the group showed up between 7 and 8. (more…)
So we all met up at the entrance to the Limehouse trail and started out on our JOTT.
One of the members of the Limehouse preservation group (sorry the names escape me) met us and gave us a fantastic background on Limehouse and the famous Kilns. Very cool!
After looking at the remnants of various Kilns our guide left us to hike off onto a side trail of the Bruce. Scouter Kevin led the way. I was amazed at how beautiful the area is! We were all blown away by the incredible number of triliums we saw in all hues from pure white to the deep (almost purplish) of red triliums. (more…)
So this weekend was the Heritage Camp (hopefully the 1st annual of many). The camp was open to all 3rd year Cubs and all Scouts. We had 5 Cubs and 3 Leaders (myself included) scheduled to go.
Unfortunately Sara and I both came down with a bout of stomach flu so neither her nor I were able to attend.
The weather was awesome hitting over 20°C on Saturday afternoon. The camp was a HUGE success in that it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. (more…)
