News Update

Wow it's been a while since I've posted ... sorry.

As you know the Wolverines won the 1st heat. We haven't agreed on a prize yet but very soon.

January was quite exciting we had our annual Mad Trapper event at CampJJ. What a blast. The kids did snow shelter building, winter fire building, tobogganing and I think the highlight was the dog sledding. A local firefighter who dog sleds on his spare time gave the kids a good time. The weather was quite cold. I think it was minus 26 that saturday morning. However it did warm up to minus 11 that day. See pics.

February promises to be quite busy too. They had a Cubaree this past weekend for the 1st and 2nd year cubs. The 3rd year cubs had the option of attending the Scouts Sub-Zero camp for the day.

The winter camp is coming up soon at the end of February. Please don't for get to sign-up (this week) and pay.

DON'T forget that this week's AND next week's Tuesday meeting is at Bill's (Akela) place. We will be cutting out the kars in Bill's workshop.

Heat #1 Winners

The winning six for this heat are the : ^%$#@## .... ah sorry I'm having some typing difficulties.

You'll just have to wait until Tuesday night. However, I will say this : It was a very close race amongst the Sharks, Cobras and Wolverines. The Scorpions, I'm sure did their best and in fact did not do too bad but they could not have caught up. Anyways, I'm proud at all of them for the hard work they put into it .... some more than others :o)

Weekend (and handout)

A new handout has been uploaded.

This past weekend's events went very well.

On Saturday some of us (7 out of 22) braved the cold (-16degC) and went for a hike in Larose Forest. We hiked for about 1.5km , following a trail to our small camp. The cubs then clean up around the fire pit and gather wood for the fire. We built a shelter and had some lunch. No one got hurt, no one complained (much).All in all a fun time.

On Sunday we did the guignolee for the Knights of Columbus. We went to Burns Park (off the 174) and for a bit of caroling, the residents would give some canned goods and/or some money. Again it was a pretty cold day but the kids really did good (I think we had 8 out of 22 cubs). This was for a good cause (food bank). Good job cubs, we are proud of you.

This week is the last week for points. Winners will be announced next week at our year end Xmas party.
