3, 2, 1... BLAST OFF! 🚀

For homework last week, the Cubs were challenged to follow instructions and build their own bottle rockets. Tuesday and Wednesday night, it was time to test them out!

The Cubs absolutely crushed the challenge. Not only did they fly high, but we also got treated to some hilarious rocket acrobatics along the way. 🌀😂

So proud of their hard work and creativity!

The 215 Strathcona Rovers spent last weekend (May 23-24) volunteering as the garbage and recycling crew for the Serbian Festival just outside of Calgary.

But it wasn’t just about keeping the grounds clean! Our crew got to dive headfirst into Serbian culture—learning traditional dances, exploring new customs, and fueling up on some absolutely incredible roasted meats and desserts. 🍖🍰

Huge thank you to the festival organizers for having us. We love supporting our community and expanding our horizons! 🌍❤️

Swipe to see what community spirit looks like! ➡️ Our Scouts recently put out a call for food donations to support the Calgary Food Bank . After handing out flyers across the neighborhood, they went back out for pickup day—and we are absolutely blown away by the results.

Because of your immense generosity, the Scouts collected a massive 652 kg (1437 lbs) of food! 🚨💪

Every single tin, box, and bag is going straight to Calgarians who need it most. A huge thank you to everyone in West Springs who donated and supported our youth in making a real difference. 🙏🙏🙏❤️

“A Scout is brave...” and our Cubs proved it this week! 🪵⚜️

We had an unforgettable meeting with Lady Buggy , who shared her passion for all things insects. It was incredible to see the kids step out of their comfort zones, showing zero fear while holding various bugs—and discovering along the way just how cute a millipede’s face can be! 🐛✨

The ultimate test of courage came when Alice the tarantula made her grand appearance. Safe to say, both the Cubs and the Scouters passed with flying colors by giving her a warm welcome (and a turn to hang out on our hands)! 🕷️🎓

Thank you Georgia ! We all had such a fun night.

Leadership was in fine form with our Scouts last week. Our 4th year Scouts took on the challenge of planning and leading a hike. The rest of the Scouts were tasked with packing their bags to prepare for an upcoming hike-in camp. The Scouts took on Nose Hill and visited the stone labyrinth, the medicine wheel and also the turtle rock rubbing stone. Great leadership, Scouts!! 🧭

Learning about safety and respect for a campfire 🔥 is important to teach early. Our Beavers did just that last week where they learned what a good campfire needs and how to be safe around it. These Beavers will be ready to help out at their next camp! 🏕️

Our Howler Cubs visited some seniors last week. They split up and played games with some residents at Prominence Way Retirement Community. The Cubs brought some of their favourite games and taught the Seniors how to play Guess Who? And Uno (which we explained is a staple at all our camps).

Our Howlers (+ a scout) represented 215 well and the Seniors all enjoyed their games night. Lots of smiles all around. 😊😊

Spring sunshine, wide‑open views, and a day outdoors—Scouts had an amazing time at the AHEIA Calgary Fi****ms Centre in DeWinton!

Learning new skills and practicing focus, patience, and safety, they took on sporting clays—a dynamic shooting sport that simulates real‑world targets in a safe, controlled environment.

Between the picturesque setting, plenty of laughs, and some impressive shots, it was a day to remember. Another great reminder that Scouting adventures come in all shapes—and sometimes involve hitting targets in style! 🎯☀️

Our littlest members were out this weekend to sell baked goods. As part of their North Star award, they are trying to raise money for the . Way to go, White tails!!! 🦫
