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

The 31st Guelph is entering a float (Hay Wagon) themed “Scouting with Snoopy”, consisting of a dog house, Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Snoopy riding in a canoe. We are getting most of the youth to wear yellow t-shirts over their jackets to represent Woodstock.

We will be putting the float together Friday November 13th, 7 pm at 355 Elmira Rd Unit 136 (Go around the back of the building) if anyone is interested in helping.

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!!  ]
