Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Click -HERE- to view PJF’s (with input from Diane) photo album.  Awesome job Diane & Sandra, thanks for the pictures, thanks to the 1st Guelph Firefighter Venturers, I could go on.  The kids had a GREAT time, and most didn’t notice the weather, rain, wind, or snow! Over 200 (including staff & volunteers) made it out for at least part of the day.

Wellington Beaveree – full!

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Congrats to Diane & Sandra for putting together what looks to be an outstanding event coming up May 8th.  With 140 youth, 40 vleaders, 40 parent volunteers, and 15 staff this will be one of the largest Beaverees in Wellington in several years.  Camp Barber just might be a tad packed that day!

Call for Action – HAITI RELIEF

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

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 attached letter ( -HERE- ) 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.

Rob Stewart

Executive Commissioner/CEO

Any group that is interested in walking (some room for riding) is welcome to join us. Please bring flags/banners to add flare to the walk. I will forward where and what time we are gathering before the parade.  [The 29th Guelph has joined in already – let’s get a HUGE participation from Wellington this year, to showcase Scouting Fun!!  ]
