At the same time we will also be investing our new leaders. As well there will be a sleepover and a swim in the morning. To be prepared for this invesiture all Kits must have their vest and hat. They will also need to know the following law, promise and motto: • Promise: I promise to love God and help take care of the world. • Beaver Law: A Beaver has fun, works hard and helps his family and friends. • Beaver Motto:Sharing, Sharing, Sharing Since every Beaver uniform looks pretty much the same could you please put your child's name or perhaps initials on his or her cloths, including the hat, scarf and woggle after you receive them. Now that all Beavers have their full uniform they should be encouraged to wear it proudly after investiture. Parents are welcome and encouraged to come and watch the investiture ceremony. Bring your camera as there will be a lot of 'pomp & circumstance' surrounding the ceremony. We always do a snack after the ceremony, so each Beaver should bring snacks for 6 Beavers. "NO NUTS PLEASE"
