The Home Depot Night
This weeks meeting will be on Tuesday from 18:00-18:45. We will be going to the South Keys Home Depot. The Beavers will learn about workshop safety and each Beaver will have the opportunity to build a do-it-yourself kit. The workshop is relatively small therefore parents will not be able to participate.
When you arrive at Home Depot, head to the back of the store to the training room which is located beside the bathrooms.

Investiture Campfire
Tuesday October 9th is an important date for your young Beaver, it is our 1st Manotick 2012 Beavers Investiture campfire. For those not familiar with Investiture, this link will explain what to expect. We plan to arrive at 6PM, and want to get the ceremony underway by 6:30.. We'll be done at 7:30, and will provide a hot chocolate and a snack for the walk back to the car (Please bring a mug!).
We'll be outside (Hopefully, if it rains we'll reschedule), and all three 1st Manotick Beaver Colonies will be in attendance......there should be close to 60 Beavers taking part.
The event will happen at Camp No'Chimik. If you have never been to No'Chimik, it is located about 10 minutes south of Manotick at 5943 Second Line Road (Google Maps link). Here is a PDF prepared by a local Scouts troop that will get you there too (Note: Driving from Riverside South will not start from Hunt Club, instead you will head through Manotick and connect to Bankfield or Century Roads). If it helps, This link will provide Google Map directions from Moncion's to No'Chimik.
TIP: There is a "Scouts Canada" sign on the 3rd lane past the bridge over the creek. That's the spot.
What should I bring? We're outside, and sometimes the ground at No'Chimik is quite soft. Rubber boots might be a good idea, though outdoor shoes should be fine. Parents will want to bring lawn-chairs for yourself and siblings, and we strongly recommend flashlights. The sun sets early and the walk back to the car could be dark. Bring a mug too, we'll have hot chocolate and rice-krispie snacks for all.
What about my Beaver? Please bring your beaver in full uniform, we'll be formally welcoming them into their Colony. It would be a good idea to practice the Law, Promise, and Motto too, we've been working on these during our meetings, they are a part of the investiture ceremony. It's not uncommon for beavers to bring along a campfire blanket too, to keep warm.
Can I carpool? Yes, please do. Parking shouldn't be a problem, but less cars making the round trip the better.
Don't forget your camera, we'll see you at No'Chimik on Tuesday.
