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.
At this week’s meeting we will be having our enrollment! This is a ceremony that will officially welcome our new members to our unit. We will have a short ceremony, a pizza dinner, and will play some games.
Pathfinders are asked to come in their uniforms and bring any service pins (aka the pin that has the number of years they have been in Guiding on it).
Unfortunately, we need to cancel the November 13 Pathfinder meeting. See you next week.
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.
On Saturday October 19, the 9th Vancouver Pathfinders will be heading to North Vancouver for a sleepover at the BC Guide House!
This adventure will involve taking transit from East Vancouver to North Vancouver to get to the Guide House (SkyTrain, Sea Bus and walking from the station). We will explore Lonsdale Quay and Shipbuilders Plaza and visit a local polling station as October 19 is the provincial election. We’ll go grocery shopping, make dinner, play games and make crafts. We may also visit the Polygon Gallery in Shipbuilders Plaza.
More information and forms are below, and in the Calendar event for October 19, and on the Forms page. Forms and payment of $30 are due to a Unit Guider by October 6th. Speak with Christa if you’d like to use some Cookie Cash towards this awesome event!
Our meeting this week will set the stage for everything we will do this year.
We will spend our time brainstorming a list of activities we want to do, skills we want to learn, service projects we would like to undertake, crafts you would like to do, and topics we want to learn more about. Come prepared thinking about what you would like to say about this Guiding year when you look back on it in June.
The mint chocolate Girl Guide Cookies have arrived! Each Pathfinder will be sent home with two cases of cookies that they are expected to sell. Cookies are $6/box and proceeds will help cover the cost of all of the fun things we plan to do this year. We do have extra cases of cookies for any Pathfinder who wants to sell more. Reach out to Christa if you have any questions about that.
Hello Pathfinders!
Our first meeting is happening this week on Wednesday, September 11 in the basement of St Thomas Anglican Church at 2444 E 41st Ave.
We would like adults to stay for the first 30 minutes to review admin, talk about expectations and answers any questions.
After the adults leave, we will spend the rest of the meeting getting to know each other.
Looking forward to it!
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!
At tonight’s meeting – Wednesday, May 22 – we will be planning our year end camp. Even if you are not coming to camp, attending this meeting will mark off some of the program work for your Canada Cord.
Cookie money is due tonight and Christa will have the square on hand if people would prefer to pay by card. Forms for camp are also due.
See you tonight at the regular time and place!
