The 3rd Boundary Bay Beavers will be hosting Apple Day at the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall tomorrow where youngsters will be handing out apples in return for donations to the troop.

The young Beavers, in kindergarten to Grade 2, will earn a badge for their hard work as fundraising is important to carrying out the programming for the troop.

Members of the 3rd Boundary Bay Beavers take part in a range of activities throughout the school year. The first meeting of this year, held Sept. 23, featured making catapults with Popsicle sticks.

Activities last year included a shoreline clean up, making worm hotels, nature discovery walks, basic map and compass navigation, and creating music with household materials.

Annually, Beavers sing Christmas carols, go for an overnight camp in June, attend district events and take part in a buggy race, where they assemble a wooden car one week and race it the next.

One of the most popular events is the annual Drive In Movie Night where Beavers bring a box they can fit in, decorate it like a car, run races around the gym and then watch a movie with treats.

Any families interested in Beavers can contact leader Natalie Shantz at 604-943-3638.

The troop meets on Mondays from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m. and children are allowed to try a meeting before committing.
