Hello 203 Scout Troop!

Tonight we would like to invite all Scouts, and one of their parent’s, to share in the harvesting our Scouts garden that we planted back in early June out at the Mennonite Heritage Farm.  This has been a very rewarding and worthy community service project and aligns with Scouts Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).  Some of our Scouters, Scouts and Cubs have been tending this garden and box plots over the summer, and I want to say a great big THANK YOU for all those who made these projects become a reality.  I see great things ahead for our youth and families to be part of such a fantastic community project!
