The registration fees paid for the Beaver year cover our membership and insurance commitments to Scouts Canada. In order to maintain funds for operating expenses, each Beaver brings a loonie to place in the "Big Brown Beaver's " bucket, we call this "feeding the beaver". These dues help cover the costs of craft items and other supplies to run our regular meetings. Some special meetings and trips require a participation fee, (typically camping costs, facility rentals, food etc.), these will be detailed well in advance of the events.
