Beavers keep Brussels Scouting alive
FROM BRUSSELS
The weather on Monday was
appropriate for the occasion.
As people gathered with Legions
to remember the death toll of war,
the words to describe the day seem
to fit. The dampness made me think
of the horrors of cold, wet weather
for soldiers on beaches and in
trenches with no protection. The
overcast sky brought thoughts of
depression and lack of hope for the
enlisted as they did battle with the
ongoing enemy. The coolness of the
day stamped the horror of lives lost.
The overall mood was just right for
thinking about the realities of war,
which I really can't fathom and only
imagination, books, films, stories
and museums help me try.
This week each of us in our own
way gave thanks for our history and
the men and women who did their
job so very well that we are free.
And so we cherish that gift of
freedom so selflessly given for us —
freedom of speech, freedom of faith,
freedom of mobility and yes, the
freedom of choice.
We need Remembrance Day.
Thank you.
Ah! Awesome! Wow! Incredible!
Beautiful! These were part of the
comments heard and written as folks

Numbers were a wonder. All
weekend, people wondered about
numbers. Where were these people
coming from? When would the
tickets run out? Who still has
tickets? And where are these people
coming from?
It was a fun time. The
homeowners were reaffirmed that
their home was beautiful, the
visitors saw unique items and came
away with new ideas to use in the
future, the tour guides had fun being
for someone interested in
volunteering a couple of hours a week
to get these programs up and running.

community contact Group Committee

The Beavers have been very busy
this year. On Sunday, Oct. 6 they
went to Wawanosh for a nature walk.

wonderful comments about our

Over 750 people signed the guest

On Friday, Oct. 18 the Beavers met
at the Mennonite Church for a
sleepover and campfire. They also
took the Beavers through the haunted
house. Rusty supplied all the
pumpkins for the Beavers to carve
and later roasted the seeds for eating.
JR's donated pizzas for the sleepover.
The following day the Beavers
joined with the Guides for a walk
through the Hullett Marsh. Everyone
had a great time and was ready for
home that afternoon.
;On Wednesday, Oct. 30 the Beavers
celebrated Halloween. They all
arrived in costumes for an evening of
fun and games. Since there is-only a
Beaver group in town it was decided
not to have n apple day but instead
hand out apples during the Santa
Claus parade on Nov. 30. The
Beavers will be collecting non-
perishable food items for the food
bank during the'parade route.
Please have food items ready to be
collected.
The scouting for food drive will not
be going door-to-door this year.

Scouting is still alive in Brussels,
with a Beaver colony.
There are 11 Beavers and three
leaders, Tracey McArter, Jeff Miller
and Bill Lumley.
Beavers meet at the Mennonite
Church on Wednesday evenings at
6-.30 p.m.
Due to the lack of leaders Brussels
was unable to have a cub or scout
program. The committee is looking

Home Tour Committee
wishes to thank all for a very successful 1st Brussels
Home Tour. This would not have been possible without
the 750 + who visited the homes; the VOLUNTEERS who
assisted in the homes and those, who at the church,
were busy serving refreshments; the HOMEOWNERS
who opened their homes to the public, and of course
the DECORATORS who did a fantastic job — show your
appreciation by visiting their stores.
Thank you to all from Brussels Business Group
