Welcome Back!

We’re Back!  We hope that everyone had a great Spring Break!  Regular meetings at BICS start tonight March 28th.  See you there!

Just a reminder to everyone that there will be no Beavers or Cubs during spring break. Meetings will resume on March 28th.

Beavers & Cubs Tour Rogers Arena

The Bowen Beavers and Cubs enjoyed a tour of Rogers Arena today.  Special thanks to Sean’s father Riaan for making it happen and to our tour guide Carolyn for the wonderful tour of the facility. We saw a great deal of the arena including the VIP boxes, lounges, ice level player boxes and even had a chance to watch some Vancouver Canucks practice and met Mason Raymond outside of the dressing rooms! Rogers Arena is a top notch facility and we were very fortunate to see and learn so much about it today.  Now if we could just talk Carolyn into some free tickets …………..

Bowen Cubs attend 2012 Kub Kar Rally

Congratulations to all of the Bowen Cubs who attended the 2012 Kub Kar Rally at Capilano mall this past Saturday! It looks like everyone had a great time – there were so many well built Kub Kars it’s great to have some Bowen cars in the mix! Cubs and Beavers also had fun with some “in-house” Beaver Buggy and Kub Kar racing at last weeks Wednesday meetings – everyone did an excellent job with building and decorating the race cars!      

A message from Cheif Commissioner Steve Kent

Please see below a message from Steve Kent, Cheif Commissioner and Chair of the Board of Governors of Scouts Canada. You can also view this message online HERE. February 13, 2012 Scouts, Scouters, parents and friends, It’s been a few weeks since my last message to you on our enhanced Child and Youth Safety initiatives, and I wanted to give you an update on our progress to date.   As you may know, on December 9, 2011, I spoke with the CBC’s Fifth Estate and announced a number of steps to underline Scouts Canada’s commitment to youth protection. These involved three key elements:

Kub Kar Rally

Hello Everyone, Just a reminder that all Cubs should bring their decorated Kub Kars to the meeting tomorrow night. We will be completing them at the meeting and doing a friendly in-house rally. The track will be set up inside the school. On Saturday Feb 11th is the official Kub Kar Rally at Capilano Mall. Details below. Please organize amongst yourselves if you will be attending the Rally. This is a big deal for most groups. Pictures from last year’s Beaver Buggy Event can be seen here. It is also Bring a Friend night. If you bring a friend please make sure you tell Leslie so she can let Scout House know in order for you to receive your $5 Scout House Coupon.

Kub Kars

This is a reminder email to parents, and Cubs, that the Cubs should finish painting and decorating their cars to their preference. Please bring them back next Wednesday, of course as we will be doing an in house rally. There is a Kub Kar Rally being held at Capliano Mall on Feb 11. We’ll provide more details soon!  

Bring a Friend

February 8th we are holding a “Bring-a-Friend” event. Our Scout Shop is continuing to offer an incentive to members that “Bring-a-Friend”. Each time a Scout brings a friend to a Section 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 will receive an additional $5 coupon. Coupons are valid until March 31, 2012. There is no limit to the number of friends a Scout can bring and the number of coupons they can receive. If your friend should have any questions, please feel free to have them contact me for details. We look forward to seeing your friends!
