Kub Kar Results

Thanks Juanita for providing the full scoop.  You’ll find full results -HERE- , well done, we doubled attendance this year!  Is your name on the list?

If you are using space at local Schools…

… for your meetings, you want to complete the Provincial Survey by the CSPC-T.  Click -HERE- for the information & survey links (as well as finding out what CSPC-T means).  They are trying to increase access to schools, and keep fees level across the province.  There is a movement out there to restrict community use, and/or increase pricing.  Keep it low, be heard.  When you click on the link it may take several moments to load.

Wellington Woodbadge Part I – Mar 27-29

I’ll keep harping on it, the course is only 4 weeks away.  If you joined Scouting subsequent to Sep 1’07 then you MUST take training by Aug 31’09 in order to be accepted for registration in Fall’09.  We have MANY leaders who have NOT registered for the last Part I offering before the year is up within Wellington. It will be held the weekend of Mar 27-29 (Fri night, all day Sat, and Sun morning). We’re running Colony, Pack and Troop only this time.  If you need Group Committe, Company or Crew refer to the CEC wide page by clicking -HERE-.  Our Part I co-ordinator is Virginia Peebles.  You should register by emailing her at virginia@scouter.ca .  Course fee is $40.  You’ll be training at Westminster-St. Paul’s Anglican church on Victoria Rd.  Outdoor portion on Sun morning will probably take place at Barber.  Details will be in your registration package which is normally sent 1-2 weeks prior to the course.  Registrations MUST be received soon, cutoff will be the first week of March.

Don’t make me go to MMS and compile a list of leaders REQUIRING training.  You are all too valuable to your Group and our Area to have your registration denied in the fall until training takes place.  Our fall training will probably take place the last weekend of October.
