Once all youth are present, have one Scouter per Colony check in at the table outside the gym in the lobby.
Lunch is included:
Each participant will receive 2 hot dogs, 1 juice box, 1 bag of chips
Lunch orders will be prepared for your group. When lunch pick-up is called, please have ONLY 1 Scouter come to pick your Group’s box of food.
Special requirements: On the registration form, mention if you need any vegetarian or no-pork meals, and how many of each. This will help us make sure we have appropriate food on hand.

Opening: 10:00 a.m. in the field behind the community centre.
Note to all Scouters: If you have youth who earned their top section awards in any section but they aren’t listed here, but you’d like them to be listed, please get in touch with the AC, AYC, DAC Recognition or the DAC Program. If you have photos that you’d like posted send them along as well.
