Beaver Section - Investiture Day October 24

This coming Saturday (October 24), we will be having Investiture Day where our little Beavers become an official Beaver member. School doors will be opened at 2:30pm and our flag ceremony will begin at 3pm sharp. Please arrive on time in respect to the event being held that day.

During Investiture, our four new Beavers (Justin, Olivia, Jayden, and Alan) will be given a temporary Beaver's vest for the ceremony. The vests are required to be given back to Gloria after the Beavers have finished their three years of Beavers. However, parents are also welcome to purchase the uniform at the Scout Shop (see address on attachment).

Attached is a picture of our Beaver's uniform. Parents are required to purchase badges numbers 4, 5 and 6; whereas, the remaining badges and scarf will be provided from the Group. Please sew the badges on accordingly.

See you all this Saturday!
