Bring a Friend / Open House – May 18th

On May 18th we will be holding an Open House/regular meeting. On this day we invite our Beavers to Bring a Friend to show more young people the benefits of Scouting.  Our Scout Shop is offering an incentive to members that bring a friend. Each time a Scout brings a friend to a group meeting, the Scout will receive a $5 Scout Shop coupon (redeemable for any Scout Shop purchase, no minimum purchase required). If the friend registers as a new member, he or she will also receive a $5 Scout Shop coupon, while the Scout who brought the friend receives an additional $5 coupon. Please make sure to let your Leaders know who your friend is!

Hello Everyone, Due to the Student Led Conferences being held next week, we will be canceling Beavers for Wednesday May 11th. Just a reminder that the following week is our open house and bring a friend evening. Bubbles (Eleanor) will be on hand to answer any questions. See everyone on the 18th!

The Beach Party is ON!

The Bowen Beavers Beach Party is ON!  The weather forecast looks great and I’m sure everyone is ready to go!  Tomorrow (April 20th) we’ll meet at Pebbly Beach at 5:30pm and have hot dogs, veggie dogs, chips, juice and we’ll roast some marshmallows too.  Dress warm since it will probably cool down at the end of the day, especially by the water.  We’re technically done at 6:30pm but will probably be at the beach until around 7pm. Come on out and earn your “Beach Party” badge!   [googlemaps https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=210243399964930870386.0004a06e79f5573dadb42&ll=49.385991,-123.333185&spn=0,0&output=embed&w=425&h=350]

The Bowen Beavers go to the Edge!

The Bowen Beavers had a fantastic time at the Edge Climbing Centre in North Vancouver today.  We all had a chance to rope climb as well as boulder with the help of our Edge instructors.  The Beavers were very brave and climbed to amazing heights!  Thanks to everyone that participated, and parents who came along to cheer us on!  The Beavers will receive a badge for participating in this event.  I’m sure we’ll be back in the future to do it again!  I’ve added photos from the trip to our Photo Gallery.
