Every year the 24th Parkallen Scouting Group participates in the Remembrance Day Parade at the University of Alberta Butterdome (corner of 87 Avenue and 114 Street).  Please dress in full dress uniform and arrive no later that 9:30 AM.  There is free parking at the University of Alberta.

This is a special time for our youth to march alongside with our veterans, those who currently serve in our armed forces and most of all remembering those that have gave their lives during times of war, armed conflicts and in peace so we can live in freedom today.

Big Thank You for Your Support

I would like to give out a big thank you to all Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and most of all our parent volunteers  who came out and made our Bottle Drive a great success.

We were able to raise $1,282 that goes towards programing and equipment for our group.

Also, I would like to thank you the Parkallen Community League for the use of the Community Hall and residents of Parkallen for all the donations of bottles for our fund raiser and all the donation of food for the Edmonton Food Bank.
