Go Karting - Wed June 12

Meet at 6:45 at Richmond Go-Karts. The location is at 6631 Sidaway Rd, Richmond BC 1/2 block south of Richmond Auto Mall.  Google Maps Link

Bring $22.00 for two rides. You will pay Richmond Go-Karts directly, so don't bring a cheque for the troop. I suspect they'll take cash, credit, debit and maybe Apple Pay.  Parents welcome to stay and watch, as it closes at 8:00 pm, so pickup is at 8:00 pm.

This will be the Widgeon Creek sign-up deadline! We have lots of room yet.

I need to hand out 4 more Chilliwack Lake work camp badges to scouts, and forgot to give them to my 2 leaders who attended. I will do so at this occasion.

Burnaby Area Iron Chef - Friday June 14

We now have 2 patrols, so we will send a separate email to those scouts with details and grouping.

Camp Gear Check - Wed June 19

We discovered at Lindeman lake that some of our tents have the wrong poles. We will be bringing all our Tarn 3 (3-man) tents to PJ, and will likely need them in the fall, so we need to check them and make sure they are all good. We will also have to replace the Tarn 2's two incorrect poles with good Tarn 2 poles.

On Wed June 19, we will meet in the underground parking near the scout storage cage in the north west corner at 7:00 pm, where we will divide you up into teams to do various chores.

  • Some will set up tents (probably in the parkade) and make sure we have all the right poles. 
  • Some will go to the HQ lockup room with some dish soap and scrubbers and clean some of our gear that was not well cleaned at the last camp. 
  • And some will be loading up patrol boxes with gear for Widgeon Creek Canoe Camp. We should be finished by 8:00 pm.
Meet at 7:00 pm, leave at 8:00 pm. The underground parking near our cage will be the drop off and pick up location.

PJ Meeting on Wed June 26 and Info

We will likely have a meeting on Wed June 26 for PJ attendees. More detailed info will be coming shortly.

We are hoping to get information about what adventures we will be having this week. As soon as we have that we will be providing more information.
