Prize Bingo Night

Are you ready for our next fundraising activity? I hope so, because I think it will be a lot of fun! I just got the approvals back for a PRIZE BINGO NIGHT! Save the date! We will need all the cadets to help out! (clearing tables, working concession, selling raffle tickets, calling out the winning bingo-ers etc…) THURSDAY, MAY 9 is when we will be holding the bingo. It will be at 6:30 at the Memorial Hall, here in Indian Head. I will be making posters up shortly that can be printed and shared in IH and surrounding communities. Until then, if you have any ideas for people/business that will donate some cool bingo prizes, let me know! I can get you a donation letter!

Duke Of Edinburgh International Award

The Duke Edinburgh’s International Award is an internationally recognized program for young people, building their skills to equip them for life and work. By creating opportunities for young people to develop skills, get physically active, give service and experience adventure, the Award can play a critical role in their development.​

We are very happy to announce that 691 Hawk Squadron now has a Duke of Ed group and an awards program leader, Captain Walton took the leader training last week.

Cadets who are 13 years and 9 months old can start the program and work towards their bronze achievement. Many of the activities we do as cadets covers off the Duke of Ed Program requirements.
