History

The 49th was formed in 1924 and was sponsored by the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. At its peak in the 80's and 90's the group had 3 Beaver Colonies, 2 Cub Packs, a Scout Troop and a Venture Company.  Although membership is largely driven by demographics, the group strives to ensure any youth in the area has an opportunity to experience Scouting.
 
In 1993 the group broke new ground by forming an EMS (Emergency Medical Services) Venture Company with the assistance of Winnipeg EMS.  It has since evolved into a S.E.R.T. (Scout Emergency Response Team) Venturer Company.
