Our Cubs and Beavers had a great time last week at Flinn Park, for their annual Hallowe'en party!
Highlights captured below...
Scouter 'Pirate Chil' led some pumpkin bowling.
Everyone enjoyed the spooky walk led by our most senior Cubs.
The costumes were pretty spectacular!
Last night was a special occasion for our troop. All 15 of our scouts attended a presentation by Sol Nayman, a holocaust survivor who spoke at Pier 21 last night as part of Holocaust Education Week 2019.
Sol's story is powerful and captivating; by the time he gained freedom after World War 2, he was around the age of the kids in our group. He entered Canada in 1948 through the same building we were in last night; his words are inscribed on the walls as part of the museum's exhibit.
He was very touched that there were so many kids in attendance, and mentioned it several times before, during and after his presentation. We got to sit on the floor right by the podium; we had the best seats in the house.
As Sol said, "One candle can light 1,000 more."
Special thanks to the Atlantic Jewish Congress and Pier 21 for accommodating our group.#holocausteducationweek
