We started with a visit to our beautiful, local library in the Beach to research the War of 1812 before our camping trip to Niagara-on-Lake with the cub scouts. The boys also watched some footage on youtube and started to get really excited!
Frunty is now part of scouts this year so he got to wear a uniform and participate in the parade through the fields and the town itself. A lot of walking but a lot of fun!
Pit got to join the parade and carry our flag for the 52nd troop. The cubs made their own stokkas to place on top of their baseball hats. We were very lucky with the weather!
We celebrated Canadians banding together to fight the Americans. There were mock battles in the fields and Frunty participated in some. A lot of adults had great costumes too.
We also had a lot of fun camping and exploring Fort George. It is really nice to be part of a group that our kids can grow up with and parents who like to volunteer their time. I am grateful that Frunty and Pit are having a lot of fun back in Toronto!
