Bring-A-Friend
Pins
BC-Yukon Scouting is supplying pins to members who bring
a friend to 2 regular meetings or 1 special event, like a camp
or field trip. You get a pin for each friend you introduce to
Scouting. An adult can wear their pin on the left side of the
right pocket flap of their uniform shirt. Youths can wear them
at the top of their sashes, and Beavers can wear them on their
vests. |

The
Campfire Blanket
Beyond providing warmth and comfort, a Scouting member's campfire
blanket is a record of events and activities right through from
Beavers to Rovers to adult leaders. Crests and badges of all types
are sewn on it (non-Scouting too). Crests are acquired by earning,
buying & trading. The blanket can be worn as a cape or as
a poncho or however you like. You can buy the official blanket
at Scout Shop, or use a blanket you already have. Check if the
material is fire retardant. Note that natural fibers won't melt
& stick. Choose a colour that won't show dirt, and remember that
solid backgrounds will display the crests better. He/she may still
have this blanket ten, twenty...thirty years from now, whether
involved in Scouting or not, so make certain it is warm and durable.

Adopt-A-Street
Challenge
Langley Township will provide vests, pick-up tools, gloves
and litterbags. The Township also offers support in the form of
information, recognition & administration. We now have a signed
indemnity agreement between Langley Scouting and Langley Township,
so there is no need for any Langley Scout group to sign a waiver.
We just need to sign the letter of committment to our chosen street.
1st Brookswood Thunderbirds have theirs and are challenging all
other Langley Groups to do the same. Phone 604-532-7303, and talk
to the Township's Solid Waste Department. |
