Just a quick note. Although it's been a while, a few of us are meeting for drinks on Friday night (July 25th) at The Revel Room in Gastown, Vancouver (8pm on). It just so happens that it's about the 500th Day Anniversary of the Science Scouts.

What's this? Well, it's this. Think: science plus badges plus raising a pint in celebration and you're getting close.

If you happen to be in the area feel free to drop by - better yet, let us know by replying to the facebook page.
