Thank you to
Dave "Redbeard" Hnatiuk for his services as Camp Director at Camp Woods. Redbeard has resigned his role and is moving on to new adventures, still making a difference in the lives of youth. Redbeard will continue as

Retired Scouter Lyle K. originally from the Okanagan District brought in numerous badges and crests that he collected during his years of service with Scouts Canada to share with our youth.
