FROM
THE DESK OF THE COUNCIL COMMISSIONER
Seasons
Greetings and Happy Holidays. I would like to wish you all the best this
holiday season and hope that you can spend some quality time with your
families.
New
things:
As
part of Scouts Canada's ongoing staff restructuring, a number of significant
changes are taking place within Ontario's staffing structure. Ontario will
transition to four service centers, each with a multi-council Executive
Director and operations manager. Voyageur Council and White Pines Council will
share Warren McMeekin as the Executive Director, and Tim Foreman as the
Operations Manager. Staff will use the Voyageur Council office as the Service
Center for both Councils, and the current office for White Pine will be closed.
Scouts Canada is being fiscally responsible as well as utilizing our collective
resources to avoid duplication. This is happening across Canada.
Toni
Marcon-Stewart has left Voyageur Council and we wish her the best in her new
job. I know that we are all grateful for the work that she has done with
Voyageur Council and we will miss her.
Scouts
Canada has stated that a youth can visit or try out scouting for a maximum 2
meetings without filling out the hold harmless agreement. This does not include
camps or outings. After that time they would be required to be registered.
Marilyn
Johnson is our new camp director. This is an established position on a part
time basis. We welcome her experience and will assist in any way to help
provide better programs and ideas for all the camps in Voyageur Council.
I
also would like to thank all those individuals who attended the Annual General
meeting, and who also enjoyed the Sens night at the Corel Center on Dec 6. It
was great to see the number of awards that were given out at the Annual
Meeting. Keep writing up those individuals so we all can recognize the
contributions that they are making, for not only the youth but for Scouting as
a whole.
As
the New Year approaches ask the youth what they would like to do. I am sure you
will hear things like tobogganing, skating, winter camping, snowshoeing and
skiing. Let us all get out and enjoy the crisp clean air and make the most of
our Canadian winter and heritage. Remembering there is "out" in
Scouts, snow soccer or sitting around a campfire singing songs and drinking hot
chocolate can also make great outdoor activities . There are so many things
that we can do, we just need to make sure that they are what the youth want to
do.
Again
Seasons Greeting, John Boyce, Council Commissioner,
commissioner@voyageur.scouts.ca

WHAT'S
NEW
1.
The 2002-2003 Annual Report is now on the Scouts Canada web site at:
http://www.scouts.ca/inside.asp?cmPageID=297
2.
Scouts Canada's Photo Release Form, which is an appendix to the Risk Management
manual (Section 25), has been amended.
It is now much shorter and contains "friendlier" language,
while still meeting the legal needs of Scouts Canada. It has been posted on the National web site
http://www.scouts.ca/inside.asp?cmPageID=248
3.
Scouts Canada announced that it is developing a new Climate Change Education
Action Program (CCEAP) for its members.
Over 100,000 Canadian youth will have the opportunity to actively
contribute to reducing greenhouse gasses û a cause of climate change. For more information check out the National
web site:
http://www.scouts.ca/inside.asp?cmPageID=472
4.
Scouts Canada is pleased to provide a resource for leaders in achieving their
Wood Badge Basic Self Help Resource. The
introduction and links to the specific objectives can be found at the following
link: http://www.scouts.ca/inside.asp?cmPageID=459 Voyageur Council is proud to note that
Marilyn Johnson from our Council was identified on the site and thanked for
being one of the contributors in providing this resource to you. You can also
navigate to this section from the main page by selecting 'For Leaders'. From
the links on the left side of the page select 'Volunteer Recruitment and

SCOUTS
CANADA OFFICIAL FUNDRAISERS
Congratulations
to the 63rd Ottawa and the 1st Stittsville on their success in participating in
our Official National Fundraisers.
The
63rd Ottawa sold 37 cases of Hot Chocolate raising almost $800 for the group in
one day. Members took turns on a Saturday in front of their local Chapters Book
stores selling hot chocolate and cutting the coupons out for the customers
entering the stores. Great job everyone.
The
1st Stittsville Group through lots of hard work sold $14,000 in popcorn in
their community this year. Over $1550 in Scout Bucks was earned by the youth
participating which they can spend at our Scout shops. Congratulations on your
superb team effort and all the hard work done by the youth.

FRIENDFEST (MEMBERSHIP DEVELOPMENT & GROWTH)
February
is on the horizon. ItÆs a fresh new start to a new year and with it comes
Friendfest. It's a time to recruit new
leaders and youth to the Scouting movement. Lets start planning ways to invite
new members into our great organization. Parents are more likely to get
involved now that they have seen how much fun their children have had. Invite
them in. New recruits are like a breath of fresh air in the cold winter months.
More information and assistance will be made available in the next month.

all a safe and happy holiday season,

HONOURS
AND AWARDS
æTis
the season to be jolly, to give praise, to celebrate and to be joyful. æTis
also the time to take a deep breath, and enjoy the break from the weekly
routine of school, Scouting, hockey, ringuette, dance and karate classes. My family and I extend to you and your
families wishes for a holiday season of joy, of fond memories and of simple
pleasures. Take some time to honour your
commitment to family with skating parties, sharing hot chocolate cuddled on a
comfy couch, building a snowman on the front lawn, watching a funny movie or
baking cookies together. Enjoy and you
will in turn be rewarded with love and an internal peace.
Remember: "The best thing to do behind a person's
back is to pat it." - Franklin P. Jones

Attention
all Scouting Members - Scouts Canada will be out at Winterlude on the weekends
of February 14 - 15 and February 21-22, 2004.
We will be offering our Lost Children Service Program and we need your
help. Scouts Canada has been well known for their offer of service and once
again we have been asked to come back to help Winterlude out. We will be
skating the canal to look for any lost children and return them to their
parents. But we can't do it without all of you, our youth and volunteers that
help make Scouting who we are. All we ask is for you to come out for 4 hours or
for a day and offer your time with us. It is a great time to meet up with
Scouting friends and go and enjoy the worlds longest outdoor skating rink. So,
if you are interested please contact Eric with the Lost Children Service Corps,
and he will tell you the time and place. We will be running at Saturdays 10 am
- 9 pm and on Sundays 10 am - 6 pm. There will be another letter out in January
but the sooner you let us know the better chance you will get the time slot
that you want. So, please contact Eric Hansen at 866-1146 or e-mail at
rovers_ottawa@yahoo.com.

OPE
UPDATE (CAMP OPEMIKON)
Winter
Camping: Make OPE your winter camping destination. Build quinzees and winter
shelters, practice your winter camping skills, go orienteering, ice fish,
toboggan, or use the outdoor (lake) rink for skating, pickup hockey or
ringette. Snowshoes are available for rental ($1 per pair per hour) and
ringette equipment, cross country skis, hockey nets and some skates are
available at no charge.
Camp
Crests: The recently redesigned camp crests are now available for sale at camp
- only $2 each and a great souvenir of your visit.
No
Trace Camping: Actually, from now on we would like you to leave a trace of your
visit to OPE! Beginning in January, we would ask that each group which comes to
camp leave us one of their group badges (e.g. 1st Greenwood, 25th Nepean, 2ieme
Gatineau, etc). We will be erecting a board in the Dining Hall to display these
badges so that in future years, people will be able to see the groups which
have gone before them. If you leave your badge with the Warden or one of the
Rovers, we will add it to the board.
