Apologies but we will need to cancel this week’s Pathfinder meeting. We will resume our regular meetings next week. 

The good news is that we have confirmed a date for our spring camp. We will be heading to Camp Olave on Saturday, May 17 to Monday, May 19 and staying at Ah Ah Wah Kie. Please note that this is the long weekend, there was not a lot of availability for sites in the spring and our choice was limited. Camping on the long weekend does let us leave on Saturday morning and get into camp during the daylight hours instead of trying to rush to the ferry after work/school on Friday. 

We are very excited about this. Stay tuned for more information and forms about camp in the weeks to come.

Until next week,

Amanda, Christa, Tasha 

Pathfinders starts this week on Wednesday, January 8th at our regular time and regular location. 

This week we will be discussing equity and inclusion. We will reflect on the year we had and make some plans for the year to come.

Third year Pathfinders will sign up for a date for the meeting they are going to lead. Instructions for Pathfinder-Led Meetings have been shared by email.

This week we will celebrate our final meeting of the year with a winter walk to enjoy some holiday lights – followed by hot chocolate!

We will meet on the east end of Trinity Street at Wall Street (across from 2964 Trinity Street – near Maple Leaf Storage) at 6:30 p.m.,  and we will do pickup at the McDonalds on 1965 Powell Street at 8:00p.m.

We will be outside for the majority of the outing, so please dress appropriately for the weather.  

This week we will be cookie selling outdoors at the Napier Square (1045 Commercial Drive) from 5:45 – 7:00pm. Please come in uniform and dress appropriately for the weather. 

To celebrate our last meeting of the year we are going to have a pizza and games night! Pathfinders should come to the church at the regular time ready to play games and enjoy some food. 

Please let us know if your Pathfinder will be joining us so we can order the right amount of food.

We may also go outside if the weather is nice so please bring a jacket.

Badges earned throughout the year will also be awarded.

On May 29th we are learning and practicing camp skills!  We’ll be trying out tents & camp stoves and building tarp shelters. This is always one of the most popular meetings of the year so Pathfinders won’t want to miss it.

Location: meet at Trout Lake Picnic Shelter (south side of Trout Lake Park aka John Hendry Park, near the washrooms and concession).

Drop off: 6:45

Pick up time: 8:30

Bring: rain jacket and clothing and shoes that are appropriate for the weather. We will be outside the full time. 

See you at Trout Lake Park this Wednesday! 

Time:  5:30 – 7:30 pm

This Wednesday we will be selling our 9 remaining cases of cookies at the Save-on-Foods at 2949 Main Street! We will meet at the Save-on-Foods entrance off the parking lot (not the one on Main St). Please wear your uniform and dress for the weather!  

This week we are hosting a party for the Guides! Please note we are in a DIFFERENT location and meeting at a DIFFERENT time. 

• Location: David Oppenheimer Elementary School
• Room: Spare Time Space
• Drop Off: 6:00pm
• Pick Up: 8:30pm
• Please bring: Your full Pathfinder uniform & a travel mug

Since we are the party hosts it is important that the Pathfinders come ready to participate fully, share what they’ve learned about the WAGGGS World Centres, and be friendly and welcoming to other Guides and Pathfinders. 

This week, we will be doing group cookie selling at the Metrotown Skytrain Station from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. The drop-off/pickup location will be the corner of Telford and Beresford. Pathfinders should wear their uniforms and come prepared to be outside, regardless of weather.

Tonight’s meeting is a cookie extravaganza, with a cookie baking challenge! Come prepared to do some baking.

We will also be sending home two cases of the Spring Girl Guide Cookies with each Pathfinder. Additional cases may be available at the next meeting, for anyone who wants more.
