Hello.
Regarding the drop off location in the following message, North Waterloo Area will use the Scout House on the days that the Scout Shop is open (this Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and put the articles in the room to the right as you enter the building.
Thank you
Scout groups in CEC are being asked to assist a local Rotary Club, to provide needed supplies to Haiti. Through contacts in Haiti and Dominican Republic, a wish list of supplies has been generated. Although there are many items on the list, it is logical that our groups might have some of the following: tents, tarps, and sleeping bags. We've been told any tent (even those that may appear torn/ripped) will be used as what the folks there are using now is pieces of cloth/cardboard and whatever else they can find. The rainy season is coming and they need help.”
Martin (Randy) MacPherson has volunteered to spearhead this initiative for CEC. We have asked each Area Commissioner to find an Area Delivery Point. We will arrange for pick up from the Area Delivery Point on February 7. We have been in contact with Mary Jane, and the cut-off date for delivery of donations to Mary Jane is now February 9, so that gives us a 48-hour leeway to have everything moved to Oakville.
We anticipate a significant response, and will therefore not be able to pick-up from individual homes.
Before you drop off your donation, contact your Area Commissioner for the location of the Area Delivery Point, then contact Randy at 519-843-6310 (there is voice mail if we aren't home), or at randy@scouter.ca , with the following information: name, Group & Area, a return phone number, what and where is being donated, and when it will be delivered to the appropriate Area delivery point. Randy will return each call to confirm that we have a record of what we are picking up from each location, so that record keeping will be easier for Mary Jane.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. This is a wonderful opportunity to be directly involved in the rescue/recovery process.
Original Information:
A Guider and Rotarian, Mary Jane Howie, is spearheading a drive to collect supplies for Haiti. She states, “Many interested parties in Oakville are getting together container(s) to ship to Haiti. We have contacts there through Rotary who will meet the container(s) in the Dominican Republic, clear the container(s) through customs and transport the goods across the mountains to various locals in Haiti. The costs will be handled through various Rotary Clubs and businesses.

To All Scouts Canada Members
Scouts Canada is calling on all of you to take action to assist the people and Scouts of Haiti during this unprecedented time of crisis. Please read the letter at http://www.scouts.ca/dnn/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=xkysDSVe%2fEE%3d&tabid=36 from the Chief Commissioner and International Commissioner and EC/CEO which includes instructions should you wish to make a donation to this cause. Given the rapid acceleration and overwhelming nature of this disaster, groups may feel free to canvas for donations (in uniform) to support the Red Cross Relief Fund.
Please accept my thanks for your support in this very urgent and worthy cause. I am certain all Scouts will rise to this call for action and do all Canadians proud.

Hello Everyone
The 2010 Kub Car Rally is almost here!!!!
You are receiving this e-mail because your were my Group Contact from Last Scouting Year. In case you are no longer affiliated with your last years group, please let me know and I will remove you from my list. If you know who has taken over, please let me know so that I may contact them.
Well . . . the North Waterloo Rover Guild is once again proud to organize the Kub Car rally for ALL Cubs in our Area. This year we have been able to get back into Conestoga Mall now that their renovations have nearly finished. The dates for the races are as follows:
Preliminaries - Monday January 25, 2010 through to Wednesday January 27, 2010
Finals - Friday February 19, 2010 and Saturday February 20, 2010
All Races will be in the Center Court at Conestoga Mall.
You will notice that this year we are holding the preliminary races on 3 nights rather than the customary 4 nights. In the recent past we have noticed a decline in the number of youth attending and thus we have seen a sparse turnout for the Thursday night time slot. In addition, many of our Rover volunteers are in a recreational Curling league that evening. Therefore there will be no races on the Thursday Evening.
In order to confirm your space at the Preliminaries, please send me the following information:
Group Name:
Number of Youth Expected to attend:
Preferred Date for Racing:
Preferred Time for Racing:
Leaders Name:
Leaders Phone Number:
You will be contacted in the new year confirming your EXACT time for racing.
If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to e-mail or phone me at your convenience.

Hello fellow Scouters and Supporters of Scouts Canada:
I'm supporting an idea in the Aviva Community Fund, a competition that could result in positive change in communities across Canada. If the idea I'm supporting receives enough votes, it will have a chance at sharing in $500,000 of funding. I would really appreciate your help in pushing this idea to the finals.
I think No One Left Behind is the kind of program deserving of this level of support. Please take a few minutes to visit the site and to vote for No One Left Behind. And tell everyone you know to vote as well.
Please vote for it at http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf4082
Thanks in advance.
John Rietveld
Scouts Canada Foundation
PS: We've only just announced this at 2 PM Monday and we have 20 votes in the first hour.
Selecting Winners
The top 25 most popular semi-finalist ideas will move on to a Judging phase. The AVIVA panel of impartial judges will review all of the finalist ideas to better assess their feasibility and costs and rank them to determine which ideas will get funded

Hello.
The following message is from Peter Sundborg, the Executive Director of Central Escarpment Council. The attachments mentioned in his message are on the North Waterloo website on the Forms & Documents page: http://nw.scouter.ca/forms.htm
Good Day All,
I am sending you the above attachments as resources that Scouts Canada has developed and that we at the Council, Area, Group and Section can utilize should a situation be brought to our attention involving the H1N1 Virus.
We have had two recent situations where a parent from one group and a leader from another reported youth who had become ill while on a Scouting event. These youth showed some of the symptoms of the H1N1 Virus. When a Scouting member or Council office is made aware of these incidents it is important for us to be proactive and to notify the other members of the section or group of the situation.
Attached you will find a letter that can be customized for the section or group to use to send to the parents via email or as a handout. Also attached is a handout for parents and one for leaders; please share these with the leaders and parents of the groups and sections.
In continuing to act proactively, should a number of youth become ill from a section please consider postponing future program meetings until everyone has recovered. It is also important to listen for local Public Health advisories; these advisories could impact Scouting's ability to hold section meetings for a period of time.
Council Commissioners, could I please ask you to forward this information onto your Area Commissioners and then onto the Group Commissioners so that they can be informed and ready should a situation arise in their group.
For the most up to date information from Scouts Canada please go to the Scouts Canada website at http://www.scouts.ca/ and click on fightflu.ca.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Peter

Scouters one and all.
You have been asking for it, and now you will get it. Mark Saturday, November 7th on your calendar for the first CEC Outdoor Skills workshop. This is the first in a 3-seasons a year series of workshops being provided for all leaders. These workshops will occur each fall, winter, and spring. Each workshop will contain sessions specific to the season as well as sessions of general interest that span all seasons. As well, there will be sessions aimed at a range of experience from the brand new recruit up to the hard-core survivalist. The general format will be to have a set of sessions available during the day and you pick those sessions that will fill your specific needs or interests. Want to mix dutch oven cooking with knots? We do that. How about basic campsite skills with a GPS session (so you can find your campsite)? We can do that too . Whatever your needs, we anticipate that you will find something of interest.
This falls sessions include:

Great News. . .

At the locations noted on the Certificate of Insurance (please print a copy and have available in case you are asked for it or challenged), our members will be allowed on the sidewalks - however we are not allowed on the platform, in parking lots or on the roadway of the GO Stations. They have also removed the requirement for a parental permission form.
The certificate is here: http://nw.scouter.ca/metrolinx-formerly-go-transit.pdf

1. Most Councils have not yet submitted the names of their voting delegates for this year's AGM. Please do so as soon as possible, as the Nominating Committee will soon have information to circulate. Please submit your Council's names and contact information to Cheryl Dinelle at the National Office.
2. To further encourage and increase democratic participation, and to address WOSM's call for greater democratic involvement, the Chief Commissioner's Task Force on Growth is recommending the:
I will be leading these investigations, and I am asking for your input. >From my perspective, Policy 1014 has not fully addressed the democratic deficit concerns in our organization. I want to identify specific ways that we can be a more democratic organization and improve member participation in decision making processes. For me, it's all about openness and transparency. Perhaps there is no ideal solution, but I am committed to improving how we do business.
I will be presenting a preliminary report to the Board of Governors at our September meeting, and I will also be asking for assistance from the Board's Policy and Governance Committee in carrying out these investigations.
Please send me your specific recommendations and ideas on how we can improve our voting and election practices, as well as your thoughts on opportunities for greater member participation and increased communication and dialogue.
Also, please feel free to widely circulate this request. I would appreciate receiving input by the end of August. I realize that we're in the middle of summer, but I do want to get the ball rolling. This process will continue early in the fall, but as I said, I plan to update the Board on progress when we meet in September.
On a related note, the Task Force on Growth is also committed to established a more open appointments process. Our CEO, Rob Stewart, will be communicating with Council Commissioners on this issue in the near future.
Thanks a lot. Please keep in touch. All the best!

The dinner will be this Friday, June 26 in the hall at Waterloo Christian Reformed Church on Bearinger Road, just north of UW North Campus. There are seatings from 5:00 to 7:15pm. Tickets are $16 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. Preschoolers by donation.
Advanced tickets only.
For tickets, please contact me by email Liam Morland (Liam@Morland.ca) or at 519-729-2227.

Fellow Scouters,
Multicultural Festival Saturday June 20th and Sunday June 21st
We have a place at the multicultural festival for our Scouting information booth and display. I would like to get some help with this. We also need to have help with the colour party for the Official Ceremonies.
At the official ceremonies we lead the procession of dignitaries to the stage. The past several years we have built a pyramidal structure from spars and decked it out with flags. Anyone wanting to help should come in full uniform. They should attend at the scout display at Victoria Park arriving by 2:30. We will then move to the Clock Tower. Anyone arriving after 2:30 should go directly to the Clock Tower to be there by 2:45 p.m. The ceremonies begin at 3:00 and take about 45 minutes. Scouts who help with this can use this as a community service project.
I also need help with the display and handing out information. Both youth and adults are welcome to help. You do not have to stay all day, Just let me know the hours that you can manage and I will slot you in. We will have a marshmallow roast and perhaps some other activities. If you have any ideas please let me know. Scouts who help with this can use this as a community service project.
We will start at 9:00 a. m. on Saturday and go until about 6:00 p.m. and on Sunday we will start at 9:30 and go until about 5:00 p.m.
This is an opportunity to promote Scouting in our community. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help out.

Hello.
The following information is from Scouts Canada:
On Wednesday May 6th 2009, MMS will be updated to enable early registrations for the upcoming 2009-2010 Scouting Year. Because of this, MMS may be shut down for short periods of time that morning from approximately 8:00 am. An announcement will be sent out when the system is back up.
After the May 6th update, the registration process in MMS will be very similar but registrars will be able to choose the appropriate registration year (i.e. this year or next year). If a member has been registered in the wrong year, corrections can only be made by MMS support at the National Office (mms@scouts.ca
Note: As in previous years, org unit administrators should set the Maximum Volunteers (Next Session) and Maximum Youth (Next Session) before May 6th. This is done in the Org Profile (Admin) page in MMS. In the event that these fields are not set, we will set maximum youth and maximum volunteer next session fields to 40.

Hello.
Our Pack (21st Waterloo) is headed to Ottawa on My 15 for three nights. We leave first thing in the morning on Friday May 15th (Cubs will miss a day of school) and return Monday May 18th around 7pm.
We will be travelling by coach bus and will be staying at the Ottawa Jail Hostel in old jail cells converted to dorm rooms. Our meals will be either at the hostel, one dinner at the food court at the Rideau Center, a fajita meal at the Lone Star Cafe, and then dinner at a service center on the way home.
We will be visiting and touring the Mint, Museum of Science and Technology, War Museum, Aviation Museum, and the Parliament Buildings. We will also be taking in the fireworks at Dow's Lake on the Saturday night. We will also be doing a driving tour of the PM's house and Rideau Hall, the Governor General's house.
As it stands, we have approximately 10 spaces available for our trip. The cost per person for everything except the food court on the first night and the truck stop on the way home is $275. If a Cub from a particular pack wants to go, we will need a leader from that pack also to go. In reality, this likely means a leader and their own child.
Please respond by Apr 24 if interested. Contact Mike Onotsky at mike@onotsky.net
Thank you

1. Our existing domain name, www.scouts-nw.com , SHOULD continue to direct you to our site since we are redirecting it to our new domain name
2. In case the redirection does NOT work, you can go directly to our new site using one of two addresses:
a. northwaterloo.scouter.ca
b. nw.scouter.ca
3. Note: We have implemented a Save the "W" campaign! Too many Ws are needlessly wasted on the internet, so we've removed the Ws from our new domain name, if you use one of the new names!
4. Our calendars have been updated to use Google calendars. For now you can see them on the Upcoming Events, Training and Gilwell pages by going to nw.scouter.ca, after Monday you'll see them from www.scouts-nw.com too! Take a look at the Calendar Notes above each calendar to see their features.
5. We now have unlimited storage space - if you have ideas for using it let me know!
6. Testing of the new e-mail service at the end of July indicated:
a. Many did not receive messages (or at least reply to my test) from the CURRENT system - you're reading this so you receive it!!
b. Many did not receive messages (or at least reply to my test) from the NEW system
7. To help ensure you receive messages from the new system add the id "scoutsnw@northwaterloo.scouter.ca
8. Check the "NW E-Mail History" page on the website to see messages that have been sent. If you don't get them via e-mail you can at least check that page for messages (daily?).
9. I'll add everyone in the existing e-mail service to the new service before Monday - you will NOT need to re-register.
10. The on-line registration pages are currently not working on the new site - there had to be at least one technical difficulty! Until that is fixed you can e-mail the contact person for the course / event you are interested in and that person will let you know what information is needed to register.
