Andrew Rud, 6, was among local Scout Club members filling sand bags recently for people to use as winter weight in their vehicles and have on board in case they get stuck in ice or snow. Andrew is a Blue Tail (second year) Beaver with the 5th Williams Lake Scouting Group and filling sand bags is one way the Scouts help the community and earn money for various activities.

The sand bags are available for purchase at locations around the city including Canadian Tire, Real Canadian Wholesale Club, Home Hardware, OK Tire and Integra Tire. Scouts will also be raising funds this week on their Apple Days by selling apples for donations this Friday, Oct. 21 at Canadian Tire, and Saturday, Oct. 22 at Save-On Foods from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.
