Apple Day 2011

We need the support of all families to make this fundraiser work. We depend on it to subsidize families who need it and to purchase equipment for all members to use. If you are a member, make sure you come in uniform. If you are a parent, please come prepared to help encourage and supervise all the youth members.

There are three opportunities to participate:

1. Friday, October 14 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at Parliament and Carlton. We’ll meet at the pillar on the southeast corner.
2. Saturday, October 15 from 9am to noon or so at St. Lawrence Market. We’ll meet near the fountain at the north market. St. Lawrence is where we get most of our financial support and is where we need the most youth. In addition, if we’re facing bad weather all weekend, St. Lawrence is where we’ll focus our energies and we’ll likely stay here until two or three in the afternoon as there is some shelter and indoor space to interact with people in.
3. Saturday, October 15 from noon or so, until 4pm on Parliament St. at Carlton. We’ll meet at the pillar on the southeast corner.

Cubs Mystery Tour

Several Toronto Packs worked together to do a Mystery Tour in Toronto. Our pack was one of them. See if you recognise where they are in any of the photos.

Cubs visit model railroad

On April 19, the 403rd Cub Pack visited the Scarborough Model Railroaders Club. We wanted to learn more about the aspects model railroading. These include track layout, making scenery, electrical layout and control, railroad themes, different scales of railroads, and the display of different railroading time periods. This club really loves model railroading and we got to see so many behind the scene features of the two sets they have operating. This visit and model railroading are included in the Artist, Carpenter, Collector, Handicraft badges and the Canadian Arts Award. Everyone had a great time.

Riverdale Park Cleanup

Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Leaders and parents gathered in truly dreadful weather to clean up one of our local neglected spaces just south of Riverdale Park West. A big thank you to everyone who came out and helped. You should be very proud of yourselves for your commitment to Scouting ideals. A few pictures follow.

One of the Beavers had this to say: “I wish humankind would change its mind so it would stop littering.”
