About

The Haliburton Scout Reserve Staff Alumni exist to provide former staff members of the Haliburton Scout Reserve with a sense of ongoing fellowship, camp news and history through linking present and past staff members, while promoting service to the camp through donations and service projects.

A variety of activities are conducted each year, both social and service oriented. Members are encouraged to participate in whatever activities for which they are available. For the majority of members who live outside the Toronto area (including the US and Europe!) our newsletter, the Alumni Thunderbird, is what connects them to the Alumni.

The Alumni Thunderbird is usually published two-three times a year (fall, winter and spring) for circulation to members-in-good-standing. It is a forum in which we can share information on former staff members, keep up-to-date on Alumni activities and service projects, and remember our summers at HSR. The views expressed are those of the Editor unless otherwise stated. Selected articles are also published on this site. Letters, articles and photos are always welcome (!) and should be submitted to the editor via thunderbird@hsrsa.ca.
