Scouts ask help in finding lost kayak

A kayak that fell off a trailer on 16 Avenue is a yellow polyethylene Current Designs Breeze boat.

Editor: I am the Quartermaster for 2nd Langley Scout Group. It is my responsibility to care for our group’s gear and supplies.

On the evening of Friday, March 30, one of my leaders was towing a trailer of canoes and kayaks to a cub camp at Cultus Lake. Unfortunately, somewhere between 208 Street and 264 Street, on 16 Avenue, one of our kayaks fell off the trailer.

The leader spent many hours driving and walking 16 Avenue, searching for the kayak, to no avail. Someone must have picked up the boat.

Our scout group has very little money. Many of the members are from low-income families, and Scouts is one of the few ways they can experience activities like kayaking. With government gaming funds gone, operating programs and replacing a $1,000 kayak is impossible.

The kayak is a yellow Current Designs Breeze boat. It is polyethylene, so it very likely survived the fall from the trailer.

If any of your readers found the boat, or knows of its whereabouts, I ask them to please contact me at kaa.quartermaster@shaw.ca, or phone my office at 604-533-7774.

Peter Stepney,
