February 22nd is the birthday of both our Founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell and his wife, the World Chief Guide, Lady Olave Baden-Powell. During Scout-Guide Week, members of Scouts Canada and Girl Guides hold special activities to promote our movements.
 
 
Scout-Guide Week is the Sunday-Sunday week in which their birthdays fall. We attend a church service during Scout-Guide Week.
As we use both Queens Ave. United Church and Knox Presbyterian Church, we alternate this event between the two churches year to year. In 2015, it was at Queens and in 2016, it was at Knox.
 
 
We typically march into the church with our flags and have them displayed at the side during the service. We attend, but do not typically participate in, the service.
 
 
Often, we make a donation to the Church at this time in thanks for our use of the facilities. It is usually in the order of $200. As we now use two Churches, we now donate $100 to each of the two Churches every year.
 
 
As with all Scouting events, everyone attends in full uniform.
 
 
Before the event, remember to do the following:
* Discuss and plan the event in the Group Committee meeting.
* Contact the Church and advise them that we are coming.
* Determine who will bring the flags and wooden flag holder.
 
On the day of the event, remember to do the following:
* Pick up the Section flags and the leather flag carrying belts from the locker.
* Bring the wooden round from the locker to hold the flags.
* Assemble in the parking lot 15 minutes before the service.
* March into the church with the flags and place them in the flag holder.
