Hey Guys,
Anyone involved with the Alberta Junior Forest Warden Association? I have a son who's turning 6 and I think it could be a great fit for us.

I've been thinking the same.

Its a great organization, I was in it when I was a kid. Now my kids are in it too.

I checked out the website pretty thoroughly, seemed excellent. Glad to hear about your involvement.

Is it a fairly well run organization?

Grand kids are, in Red Deer. Great organization and no end of outdoor activities, involving the whole family. Even the parents love it.

Sportsman Show Next weekend in Edmonton, I believe Junior forest wardens will have a booth in amongst the Fish & Game clubs

I and many of my friends were raised in Scouting. Every one of them has put kids into JFW instead of Scouts. Program suits needs much better than Scouting now a days from what I have heard.

I've heard the same thing. I also love the parenting involvement, I don't want to just drop my boys off. I want to do it with them. JFW here we come!

Registeration starts in the fall, St Albert has a club, and Stonyplain, sprucegrove have one too. Not to sure on Edmonton.
