Peace Arch Area was formed in 1986 and encompasses Langley,
White Rock and the eastern portion of Surrey. We have 9 active Districts, with no
Divisions.
We are
best known for our landmark, the Peace Arch, a symbol of the longest
undefended border in the world. Each June, Girl Guides of Canada, Scouts
Canada, Girl Scouts of America and Boy Scouts of America jointly sponsor
Hands Across the Border in honour of the opening of the Peace Arch over
80 years ago. Over 10,000 boys and girls from both countries gather to
celebrate this anniversary.
We also
have Fort Langley,
a National Historic Park,
within our borders. Fort Langley was a busy outpost of the Hudson's Bay Company,
most popular around 1848.

Have a great summer!
Summer months mean lots of summer fun and great
camping opportunities. Enjoy the beautiful sunshine but remember to
SLIP! SLAP! and SLOP! to protect yourself from the heat.
Drink plenty of fluids too!
