Area Commissioner Needed June 8-10 2012: International Canoe Camp Oak Point, Camp Chief Brenda Graham Apple Day Fun
Did you know that Apple Day got its start in Saint John? The first Apple Day in Canada took place in Saint John in 1932 led by Scouter Eli Boyanner. Apple Day was meant as a means for Scouting to say "thank-you" to the community for their support of our programs by the giving of an apple. The response was that people began to make donations in return for receiving an apple. Many thanks to our National Apple Day partner Superstore/Loblaws and the many other stores in our area who support Scouting by allowing us to conduct our Apple D-ay Fundraisers at their front doors.

Religion in Life Cubs/Scouts/Venturers We had a great crowd of Cubs, Scouts and Venturers for our Religion in Life workshop held at Silver Falls United Church. Participants enjoyed an Agape meal at lunch, eating many of the kinds of things that would have been eaten in Jesus' time in Israel. A good time was had by all at the Woodbadge training event held at Silver Falls Church on Saturday December 10. Participants took part in Colony, Pack, Troop and Company training. |

New Camping Resources Three Ontario provincial parks not far from Toronto have introduced a camping-for-newbies program. Participants learn how to set up a tent, build a campfire, cook on a camp stove and perform other activities key to enjoying - and surviving - the great outdoors. Most camping equipment is supplied, including a tent, cooking utensils, camp stove and dishes. Their Camping Resources page has great resources available for both new and experienced Scouters. Or visit their home page to learn more about this interesting program.

October
is the month for Apple Day! Different groups have held their Apple
Days on different weekends. But everyone will agree that this is a
fun and worthwhile event that helps us to raise funds to hold our
activities and remind the public that Scouting is still thriving in New
Brunswick. 
April
is the time for all the drivers on the professional Cub Car circuit to
rev up their engines and prepare for the Silver Falls 500. 48 Cubs
competed. 12 Scouts helped officiate. It was great fun for
everyone!
Wabanaki
Winter Camp had beautiful wintery weather, cold and clear. Scouts
and Venturers were there from Westfield, Ketepec, 1st St. Andrews,
Portland and Silver Falls. The temperature dipped to -16.8oC
overnight. But everyone seemed pretty chipper on Sunday morning.
