Terry Fox -hero

Tonight we watched the Terry Fox movie (starring Shawn Ashmore) and got tattoos and stickers.   Terry was a true Canadian hero. His foundation has raised over 900 million dollars.  

Bat night!

Thanks to Chloe from UBC we learned about bats that we might encounter here is BC and around the world.

She showed us how she gathers information about bats and we got to see her equipment including her net and scale. 

We learned about what bats eat and where they live.

We were encouraged to tell everyone about why we should protect bat habitat and the many useful things they can do.

We made a craft and got to decorate chocolate bat cookies! 

We have purchased a bat box and have decorated wooden bats to attach to the outside. 

We also had a special patch made just for tonight! 

Enrollment Night

 We are pleased to welcome all our new Guides.

Congratulations on joining this world-wide organization!

We made plastic milk jug lanterns using Mod Podge, trefoil cutouts, pressed ferns and sharpies! We added a tea light. 

We also decorated cookies, ate chocolate puddings and had decaf tea.
