A TOY HAS BEEN SPOTTED!


This one is Isaac's which was dropped in Whitehorse, YT.
I received a note from Paul:










"All:  Here is a photo of your cache!  I have told 2 friends with children about it so you may hear from somebody else shortly.  I also packed a snowshoe track into it, which should help.
All the best
Paul
Whitehorse
Yukon"
While he was more then welcome to take it, it is also sweet that he left it for a little person to find it!

Toy Drop #4 - Westboro

The Scouts celebrated the holidays and World Drop Day by taking a wee walk to a foot path in Westboro to drop Scouter Connie's toy. Hopefully this toy will be found before the MASSIVE snowstorm that is threatening the Ottawa area!!!

Zurich Drop DROP #2


Here we have our 2nd Drop (sorry I haven't posted the 1st one, still waiting on pictures!!)

This one was dropped in Zurich, Switzerland, by a 15th Century Fountain, well...not BY a fountain, BESIDE the fountain. You will have to look carefully! It is in the pine tree...

Toy Design by Lauren.....keeping our fingers crossed that we hear from the recipient!

The Cubs have now joined in the Toy Drop!!!
Last night they spent part of the meeting painting their toy...Next week they will decorate it with buttons, fabrics and what ever they want!!

There are some really great designs...including a Muskox!!! I was not aware that many 8 year olds even knew what those were!!!
