Tax receipts
The Beaver program is eligible for the Children's Fitness Tax Credit! Tax receipts were handed out on Feb 9. If you did not get yours, please ask for it from Chatter (Nick Torrington-Smith) at the next meeting.
Milk Bag Project - Request for help
Lauren Eckert, one of our Scouts, has taken on a project making milk bag sleeping mats for 3rd World children. The washable mats repel bugs, and provide an alternative to sleeping on the damp and bare ground. They are made from the plastic of the outer milk bag, which holds the three smaller clear bags inside. It takes approximately 250 milk bags to create a sleeping mat.
Could you please save your “outer milk bags” and give them to Ringtail (Guy L'Anglias) at our regular meetings. See http://www.bagsforbeds.com/ for more details.

February 3 - White Tail Beavers invited to Cubs
This is a reminder that our White Tail Beaver have been invited to join A Pack Cubs this week during their annual Cub Car rally.
When: Wednesday Feb 3; 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Where: Bernard Grand Maitre School
What: Annual Cub Car Rally. Bring your beaver buggies that you made last week to race against the cubs. If you have an older sibling in cubs who has an older car, perhaps you might want to race with that one. There will be some extra Cub Cars available if required.
This is an excellent linking opportunity for the older Beavers to get a glimpse of what they can expect when they swim up to cubs next year. Wear your Beaver uniform.
I will be there as well. Hope to see you!
