Scout Exchange  2002

The Canadian Scout Exchange 2002 was once again a smashing success.  On Friday, March 22, 13 Canadian Scouts and 5 Scouters made their way from Ajax, Ontario to Fairport to spend the weekend with Troop 207.  On Saturday morning, both Troops participated in some community service collecting full bags of food supporting this year's Scouting for Food Drive.  The rest of the day was filled with food, fun, and scouting, as the boys competed as patrols in various skill competitions.  The night concluded with stories, pictures, and gifts of thanks that the relationship between our Troops has remained strong.  The boys from Troop 207 prepared gel candles for the Scouts from 1st Pickering.  Here are some pictures from the candle making night and pictures of the weekend!
