Pass on A Good Turn!

2010-03-06T16:55:00.000-08:00

CATCH THE WAVE!
It’s an event never before seen in Canadian history…and you will be a part of it! From March 7 – 13, 2010, Scouts Canada is celebrating our first ever National Good Turn Week, and we are totally pumped.

Like a wave across the nation, small acts of kindness from our youth everywhere will gather speed and momentum until they flood the airwaves and the hearts and minds of Canadians.

This is your chance to let the Canadian public know who we are and what we stand for. You believe, like we believe, that Scouting is the best youth organization ever. We are the finest ambassadors in the world for helping others; this is our chance to prove it. This project, your project, will have a powerful impact on Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Whether you’re a Beaver, Cub, Scout, Venturer, Rover or leader…do your Good Turn, whatever it may be, and pass on your wristband. That person can do a Good Turn for someone else. Before we know it, hundreds of thousands of Good Turns will turn this nation into a kinder place, and they’ll all remember who started it: Scouts!

Don’t stop there…use your imagination to come up with good turns that are uniquely you. Think about approaching your local officials…mayors, local news personalities, etc. – they love projects like this, they love Scouts, and they’d love to wear their bracelets on the air!

Hello to all, with the week please start watching for all cubbing information on the website. This is going to a very useful tool for us all.

Cubs (boys and girls ages 8-10)

2009-08-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

Challenging hikes, weekend camps, and an introduction to water activities like canoeing or kayaking are just a few of the fun outdoor adventures that Cubs enjoy. With the Cub motto of "Do Your Best" front and centre, Cubs are encouraged to try new and more challenging activities. Learning important first aid skills, paddling a canoe for the first time, or leading a game at camp will open the door for Cubs to try other adventures they never thought possible. Cubs also experience an exciting variety of other activities: games and sports, model-building, music, story-telling and play-acting. And like Beavers, Cubs enjoy their adventures with their friends.

I am trying to ensure that all parts of the web site are working correctly. If you have the time I would appreciate it if you could leave comments on blog posts for all groups, click on all links and generally put the site through it's paces to iron out any bugs that may be lurking.

Also if anyone has a good photo that reflects 195 Ridgewood that I could use for a header image I would appreciate it. Or any ideas on what would would make a good header; a campsite, a fire, a group shot, etc.

Also please use the contact form to submit various enquiries.

Thanks for your time
