Wellington Membership
Hey we’re getting up there. Now at 86% of last year (801 vs. last year’s 939). We need to keep on working, remember the S.T.E.P. program mentioned here in the past. Remember the PIZZA PARTY for the Colony/Pack/Troop sections, one winner from each section (where the group is UP from last year’s registration #)! Even something as simple as clearing up PRC’s and following-up those prospective leaders would take us to 92% immediately. Remember the CEC target this year, 101% of last year’s youth!
CEC Annual Reporting Meeting – Sun Nov 30
Taking place at the Bolton Rotary Centre (Caledon Centre for Recreation & Wellness). 14111 Regional Road 50, Bolton, ON 1-4pm. All Scouters welcome, full uniform, AC’s, DAC’s, GC’s, teams welcome and expected :-).
Mapquest tells me the fastest way to get there (probably 1 1/4hrs driving):
– 401/407 to 427 North
– left at Hwy 7 (Reg Rd 7) exit towards Brampton
– right at Huntington Rd
– slight right when it turns to Reg Rd 50, on the right after 16km

Video Games Live
While it’s not my cup of tea, nor do I in any way endorse this activity, Video Games Live is being presented by the KW Symphony Orchestra Mar 13’09 at The Centre in the Square. They’re offering a 10% discount on Scouting groups of 10 or more, 20% for 20 or more. It’s aimed at Scouts, and Venturers. Anyway, an interesting alternative event for a Fri night even if somewhat expensive. Click -HERE- for info & links to the KWS and the show website. It has, and does, tour North America.
