Malcolm’s October Adventures

Posted on by

Malcolm has been busy this October! He’s had a lot of fun visiting with girls and Guiders from around Lions Area. Here are a few of his favourite adventures:

Malcolm the moose visited the Panther Trefoil Guild meeting at the Sechelt Seniors’ Centre.  He enjoyed lunch and met quite a number of members.  He displayed immaculate manners and received a Crest commemorating Camp Olave’s 90th birthday from Linda Atkins our President.

Backpacking at Pedals, Paddles, and Packs

The Leaders and everyone who contributed to making this camp happen have inspired me to re-visit [...]
