First Lexington Scouting Group | Waterloo, Ontario

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Since October 2008, firstlexington.org has served the local community in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and specifically the youth and their parents of the 1st Lexington Scouting Group, consisting of Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers.

It has been a privilege to build and maintain this website which has housed calendars for each of those sections, photos of the fun activities, schedules, Leader contact information, and for authorized leaders, access to forms and paperwork. (There is always paperwork!)

The needs of the Scouting group have simplified and this website is no longer needed.

However, the 1st Lexington Scouting Group of Waterloo is still going strong and 

Your inquiries are welcome at 1stlexington@gmail.com

At least until October of 2024, when internet domain registration lapses, this website will hold past memories, Scouting and general camping information.

Should you require a website for your own community group or small/microbusiness, feel free to contact me at bytebackca@outlook.com, or go to byteback.ca
