This course is not held as often as Section training, but is available Nov 27th & 28th. Location is the Oakville Town Hall at 1225 Trafalger Rd. This training is critical for new (and, yes, for old) Group Commissioners. Along with the basics of running your Group, you’ll find emphasis on the new Council/National directions and will include key Risk Management and VRAD training (which many will not have received in the past). It’s key, there is room, and you need it! This is the last scheduled course until spring, come out now! To register contact swmbo@bell.net or cec_training@scouts.ca .

Youth Cannot Raise Funds for Other Organisations
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Please remember that our Youth CANNOT participate in hands-on direct fundraising for other organizations (which includes the sale of any item). This includes other non-profit organizations such as Cadets or the Legion, even if they are a Group Partner/Sponsor. Your Area Commissioner has a polite standard letter which he/she/it will be happy to send out if you are faced with the problem and don’t want to do this yourself. There can be no exceptions to this rule. We are a not-for-profit volunteer organization and the rules are quite plain.
