Fall 2024 Updates

We had a great kick off to the fall as Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts went on a canoe camp to the Red Deer River near Drumheller. The Triwood Scouts also entered two teams into the “Great Escape” event this October. Our team competed against 700 other youth in a giant orienteering game that went from 6:00 pm to 2:30 am and won first prize! Cubs played the animal game in West Confederation Park with 100 other Cubs from NW Calgary. Beavers went on a ‘reconciliation’ walk along with the Cubs to Nosehill park.

A sleepover at the Tyrell Museum is planned for later in the fall for Beavers and Cubs.
