A busy quarter this last quarter of 2007, a
time that has seen the Troop active in a number of areas with 3
particular highlights to mention.
Firstly.......On Remembrance day our Troop attended the Remembrance Day
Service held in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall at which time we laid a
wreath, photographs provided show our members taking part in that
service.
Secondly......On 25th November we attended
St. Marks Anglican Church for the dedication of our Standard. St. Marks
was founded here in Outlook in 1909 and is one of the first churches, if
not the first in the town, although the original building was sold and
the "new" church built some years after 1909. Photographs again provided
show us during this ceremony with the Reverend Dan Fournier (our latest
member) officiating.
Thirdly.....Our November meeting saw
various members of the Troop receiving Service Awards provided by our
Hon. Commissioner in Chief, HRH Prince Leonard for dedicated service to
the Unit. Once again some photos provided record this proud event and
