We’re looking forward to seeing you tomorrow! We’re working on a film module (with popcorn!). The work counts towards your Canada Cord.
We’ll also be finalizing tents, and sending home group gear for this weekend’s snow camp.
Don’t forget, forms and $5 for the Girls Can Do It! event in March are due tomorrow.
On January 23, we’re decorating cupcakes with the fabulous Sarah, and learning about the science of baking! It will be a very fun evening. Check out Sarah’s Instagram for a sneak peek at some of her fun and beautiful creations.
Reminder to bring 6 plain cupcakes to decorate (no nuts please!), $4 for your decorating tip, or decorating tips from home if you’d like to use something you’ve already got!
We also have two events coming up:
Check out the links above for more info. Forms for International Women’s Day are due next Wednesday January 30. Forms for First Aid are not due until springtime, but sign up sooner than later as we may need to add a second session if more than 18 Pathfinders want to take the course!
This meeting is mandatory for all Pathfinders attending snow camp. Tonight is the FINAL DEADLINE for snow camp forms and payment.
We’ve got an interactive evening of snow camp training and planning lined up! We’ll be breaking into our camp patrols to plan menus; review gear and practice packing our bags; and practice setting up the tents.
For those that aren’t attending snow camp, we’ll have a few fun activities to choose from, including continuing the Canada Cord work we started last week!
Also, reminder that we’re heading to the West Coast Area Girls Can Do It! International Women’s Day event on Saturday March 9!
Want to attend? Bring your SG2 form and $5 back no later than Wednesday January 30. Speak with a leader if you’d like to use your cookie cash towards this fun and interactive event!
It’s our last meeting of the year!
We’ll be making holiday cards for seniors, and some to take home! We’ll also have some delicious snacks, gourmet hot chocolates, and time to chill.
Please bring your Snow Camp forms and payment, and any outstanding cookie money. Please also bring back forms and payment for Holiday Camp with the 58th Pathfinders and Orion Rangers, if you would like to attend that camp next weekend.
Lastly, the pack towel supplier that has the awesome towels we looked at last week will be coming to the end our our meeting to sell towels directly. Large/bath towels are $5 each. Small hand towels are $2 each. This is an amazing deal as the large towels are typically $40 and smaller ones are $12-$15 at MEC. Great for holiday gifting, and for putting in your backpacking gear stash!
Note that towel sales are cash only, so bring cash (exact change preferred) for towels.
We’ve got a fun and interactive evening of winter camping training happening tonight! We’ll cover information around clothing and gear; packing; staying warm and managing personal first aid; food and cooking in the cold; and more! Check out the information at the bottom of our Resources page for more info that you can print, save, and share!
This training is mandatory for anyone interested in going to Snow Camp next year, so please plan to attend. Not sure about snow camp yet? That’s okay! Come anyway – this work will count towards your Canada Cord whether or not you go to camp.
Also – please bring in any outstanding fall cookie money!
On Nov 21, we’re heading to WeDay at Rogers Arena! Because traffic and parking are tricky around the stadium, we’re meeting at Nanaimo Skytrain Station at 5:30 pm. Pick up is also at Nanaimo Stn at 8:15 pm. Bring your compass card, and come in uniform!
Please note purses or bags that are larger than 14” x 14” x 6” (35cm x 35cm x 15cm) will not be allowed in Rogers Arena for any game or event, so please leave your school bags at home.
Didn’t bring your form in? Don’t worry – you can still come along! Just print and bring your signed SG2 with you to the Skytrain station.
Also, reminder to all Pathfinders to get your Girls First profile set up! Get this set up before the end of the year, as YOU’LL be diving in headfirst to meeting planning, activity selection, and crowdsourced awesomeness in 2019!
November 7 is our enchanted enrolment evening! Come in uniform and dressed for the weather. We’ll start and end at the church, but will mostly be outside, so don’t forget your boots, jacket and toque.
We’ve been invited to attend a fun weekend at Kwi Kwa cabin @ Camp Olave from November 16 – 18 with the 58th Pathfinders, Orion Rangers, and St. Helen’s Scouts & Ventures. We’ll have time to play outside, cook great food, play a tonne of board games, do homework, and make new friends at this fun and chill weekend on the Sunshine Coast. Karla will be taking a group of Pathfinders from the 9th, if you’re interested in joining in the fun! Check out the event information forms for more information. Interested in attending? Forms and payment of $100 are due Wednesday November 14.
We are heading to WeDay on Nov 21! Bring your forms in no later than November 14.
Also, check out updated information about Snow Camp! Take a look at the event information, and the kit list. Forms are due back in January so no rush, but start thinking now about what you need to prepare, plan for, and learn about before we head out for a fun weekend in the snow!
