MyBackCheck.Com – A further update

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We have had to update the MyBackCheck procedure because having people fax their ID to us is not giving us a good enough quality to send to MyBackCheck. They have rejected some. We have revised the procedure asking people to scan (and email), mail or hand deliver.

We have also added a line that Group Commissioners, Group Registrars, Area Commissioners, Area Registrars and Council Field Executives can now verify the ID on the ID Verification Form before it is returned to our office for processing. This will meet the legal requirements.

Click -HERE- for the complete procedure as currently updated.

MyBackCheck.com process updated to provide greater security.

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

We now have MyBackCheck up and running. The only changes will be that in order to complete the application:

MyBackCheck will send you a message to complete an ID Verification Form (that they will send you). You are required to complete Section #2, sign and forward to this office (Fax: 416-490-6911) together with copies of two pieces of government-issued photo identification. We will complete the rest of the form and forward it to MyBackCheck. Acceptable photo ID is: Driver’s License, Passport, Foreign Driver’s License, Canadian Citizenship Card, Canadian Permanent Resident Card, Certificate of Indian Status, International Student Identity Card, Firearms Acquisition Certificate, Canadian National Institute of the Blind Identification Card, Military Family Identification Card. A Health Card is NOT acceptable. If you do not have a second piece of photo ID a birth certificate is acceptable.

A  process sheet will be posted to the COAC Registration website on Monday. Once the COAC receives the “Service Order Form” staff  will complete the appropriate part of the form and fax it to MyBackCheck. This satisfies the requirement of the RCMP.
At the current time individuals are only able to complete the Criminal Record Check but once the concerns of the RCMP have been met and they are again able to complete the vulnerable sector screening (which we anticipate within 2 weeks) they will go back, at no charge, and complete the vulnerable sector screening. In the meantime, we will accept the Criminal Record Check.

Hope this helps and thank you all for your patience as we work through these new requirements. It has been very frustrating!

Issues with MyBackCheck.com (UPDATED 07Oct)

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

There have been some recent issues for people trying to use MyBackCheck.com  to obtain a PRC.  Some people with Sympatico email accounts have not received their invitations.Council staff have spoken with MyBackCheck they were told that MyBackCheck.com is experiencing a problem with Sympatico blocking their emails.  As of 06Oct this problem should have been fixed.

Council is asking people who tell us they haven’t received their invitations to try to use a “hotmail” or “gmail account”.  Hotmail has upon occassion considered the invitation spam as well, and you might have to check there for your invitation.

As of 07Oct, effective immediately, applicants for police checks through MyBackCheck.com can go directly to the website: http://backcheck.net/scoutscanada/ without requesting an invitation first from Scouts Canada. Results will be sent to the Council office by MyBackCheck.  Click -HERE- for the revised procedure (and other information including a sample video).

Group Financials

Monday, October 5th, 2009

As we start another Scouting Year, one question that keeps recurring is ‘How do I as a new Treasurer keep the books and produce a statement at year-end?’.  Click -HERE- for a sample used by several Wellington Groups.  You should know how to use Excel, and when you’re working with it, remember, don’t delete any columns, just hide them.  For help, try Alisa at alisak@sentex.ca .
