The Investiture Ceremony is a very important part of the Scouting tradition. In this ceremony, returning youth and Scouters reaffirm their Scouting Promise and their commitment to Baden-Powell’s vision, while the new youth and Scouters have the excitement of making their Promise for the very first time. If this is your child’s first time being invested with our group, or if they have moved up from one section to another they will receive our group necker, and a woggle and for Beaver Scouts, their tail. Returning Beavers and Cubs will receive their new Tail (Beaver) and next stage woggle (Cubs)....
The fall is here and we are in prime apple season. To a Scout that means that it’s Apple Day Time! Apple day is a tradition that started right here in Canada!

This is annual event provides our Scouting youth with an opportunity to...
With regular meetings about a month away it is time to plan to visit the Scout Shop for all of your uniform needs. Our closest Scout Shop is in Oakville Ontario at 165 Randall St, Oakville, ON L6J 1P4.

The staff at the Scout Shop can help you with sizing, they are very knowledgeable, just let the know you would like...
Saturday April 30th marked the day for Scout Trees for the Credit Hill Area Scouting groups. We had the perfect day to come out and help the environment out by planting trees. Fun was had by all who came out to support a great event. Scout Trees is a family event that is only made possible by the support of the parents who come out with their kids to help plant. To everyone who came out from 1st Milton Group thank you so much. Here are some great pictures of our kids in action. no images were found
Each spring since 1972, thousands of Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts have planted trees through the Scoutrees Program. Scoutrees gives all members the opportunity to demonstrate, through action, their concern for the environment. By planting trees, youth learn about the important role trees have in our lives, the critical need for conservation, the huge impact of climate change and how we can do our part to create a better world. On Sunday, April 30, 2016 We will be participating in this event to plant trees to help the environment. Parents Please see ScoutsTracker for more information...
