Beavers
 

 


 

The 6th Peace Arch Beaver Colony is a fun craft & game oriented place for youth aged 5-7 (Kindergarten thru Grade 2). The focus of Beavers is Sharing, Sharing, Sharing, so activities are geared towards cooperative play.

 

Regular Meeting Date:      Mondays

Meeting Time:                  6:15 PM (gathering activities, formal meeting starts at 6:30 PM)       

Meeting location:              St. Mark's Church hall on 20th Ave in Ocean Park (12953 - 20th Ave)

 

Beyond our regular meetings we have many outings, camps etc.  The schedule is continually being adjusted, so be sure to check the calendar below for updates.

Parent Participation
 
We very much encourage parent participation as we do a lot of crafts and some crafts will require help for the younger ones especially. Knowing everyone has their own areas of expertise and interesting contacts, we welcome ideas and suggestions for games, crafts and outings ideas.

  •  Popcorn Sales - pre-selling of Scouts Popcorn to friends/family/relatives/strangers in October.  Popcorn delivery in November
  •  Bottle Drive - we are continuously collecting bottles/cans to help fund things, please ask us how you can participate.
