FROM THE DESK OF THE
COMMISH!
In a
recent interview, I was asked to do a sales job for Scouting. The question posed to me was, “why would
anyone want to join Scouting?” Now,
my high school English teacher always told us never to answer a question with
another question. However, that is
exactly what I would do in this situation.
Why would anyone want to join Scouting? My reply is, “Why would you NOT want to
be a member of the world’s largest youth movement? Why would you not want to participate in
adventuresome and challenging activities with other youth your age? Why, as an adult, would you not want to
share your skills, enthusiasm and time in developing young children to be the
best they can be, and at the same time have fun yourself?”
Scouting teaches life skills and these are not easily measured on an
annual basis. There is no trophy
for the most points or cash bonus for the best performance as measured by the
number of goals or assists one achieves.
Yet, we do have measurement tools.
We need to accentuate these positive recognition systems throughout all
of Scouting. Youth members work
towards achieving recognition badges and crests for event participation. In presenting these awards, take time to make it special and to highlight
the achievement. The Commissioner
Quality Awards recognize a high level of program delivery within all five
sections and in program support by our Group Committees. Our Regional Youth Award recognizes
extra community service provided by thousands of our youth members. The national awards system recognizes
years of service for adult members and for extra service to Scouting. In using these award systems, we
highlight the value of Scouting, and we highlight positive achievements of our
members. We need to do everything
we can to ensure our own members feel appreciated and feel a sense of
accomplishment. These achievements
are a part of a step by step process in the development of better citizens. It happens over a period of years and as
I said, not always easily measured with a big shiny trophy. The next time you wonder why you are in
Scouting, or are asked by someone why they should join Scouting, accentuate the
positive. Tell them Scouting
teaches life skills. Skills that
are taught in a world-wide youth movement through adventuresome activities,
using the outdoors as a key resource.
Tell them that these skills are possessed by today’s world leaders,
Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, surgeons and astronauts. That is why you should join
Scouting. Come on board and
experience the Scouting spirit, it is catchy!!!!!
Marilyn Johnson, your Council Commissioner
WHO'S NEW
NOT WHAT'S NEW
It is with
pleasure that I wish to announce the conclusion of the succession
planning process as related to the
position of Council Commissioner. Our Deputy National Commissioner for
Central Division, Kim Derry has advised that he shall be appointing John Boyce
as our next Council Commissioner.
Please join me in welcoming John to this challenge
and adventure. I pass my full support to him as we transition to his team
for the 2003-04 Scouting year. John and his team will be officially our
Council team as of 1 July 2003.
Congratulations John.
Marilyn Johnson,
Council Commissioner

GONE HOME - The Council
wishes to express their sadness in the passing of youth member Nick Wright on
March 23rd. Nicholas always had a love for Scouting. He was
registered with the 123rd St. John the Apostle Ottawa Group as a Beaver, Cub,
Chief Scout Recipient and
Venturer. In the fall of 2002 he joined the Lost Children's Unit with the
Regional Service Corps. Though he had a serious heart condition, he never
let it interfere with his desire to experience life through Scouting. When
you remember Nicholas, please do so with a smile, a kind deed or a word to
someone who needs you. So much of who we are comes from those who have
touched our lives. Nicholas has touched many and will always be
remembered.
Mike and Karen Leeder, 123rd Group (Nicholas's aunt and uncle)

RECOGNITION
- LET'S JUST DO IT!
In keeping
with our Council Commissioner's message above, we would like to
encourage all of you to
find some time or recruit someone to start the process of recognizing someone in your group. Here is some information to help you
along:
Service Pins
There are
service pins for 1, 2, 3, and 4
years of service that can be purchased at the Scout Shop for $2.50 +
taxes. The office administers and provides for the service pins for 5
years and up. Certificates are also included with the pins. A simple
e-mail to Lynn Levitan, our Council Registrar llevitan@scouts.ca identifying the volunteer's name, address, group, and list of
service is what is needed to process this award.
Warrant of Appointment
Requests
for Warrant of Appointment should be directed to Lynn Levitan as well. For
Warrants of Appointment, Lynn needs the following information:
*Full Name and address
*Group name
*Indicate that the VRAD, Gateway, and
probationary period of 3 months has been successfully completed
Please submit your requests to Lynn in a timely fashion to avoid any
disappointment in getting either of these certificates back for a special date.
For
Outstanding Service
Anyone
can initiate these awards - if you believe a person should be considered for an outstanding service award, start the process now.
Contact your local Honours and Awards
committee to see if someone has started an
application or volunteer to start the process yourself.
This is
the basic template to follow
-
1)
Name
2)
Address
3) Position
in Scouting Presently Held
4) Scout
Awards Previously Granted - indicate year
5) Training
Received - indicate year
6)
Record of Position in Scouting - give position, section, group, committee
etc. and length of time served in each
position
7) Description of Outstanding quality of service
rendered - I often recommend that this be
combined with #6. Depending on the volunteers role in the group, here are
some examples of actions:
>ran 5 weekend
camps for his pack, average attendance was 19
>helped 3
Scouts earn the Chief Scout Award
>chaired the area
apple day committee or coordinated the group apple day
>interviewed 15
adults for Scouting roles in the group
>recruited # new
section Scouters for the group
>organized 5
annual year end banquets
>completed Group
Committee Training
8) Name
of initiator, address, position in Scouting
Please remember that it is not necessary for a person to have 10
years of service to be considered
for an Award. Applications for Honours and
Awards can be e-mailed to Toni
Marcon-Stewart in either
MS word or Word Perfect at
tmarconstewart@scouts.ca We simply ask that you follow the template
above.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to ensure
that Volunteers in your group and area are receiving the recognition they
deserve. Toni Marcon-Stewart,
Council Field Executive
THE LEADER MAGAZINE
In an effort to continue making Leader Magazine a
relevant, informative resource for leaders, the National Director of
Communications is asking for submissions from leaders out in the field. Do
you have a good program idea? Do you know someone who does? We
encourage those who are delivering them to submit a written piece to the
magazine. They don't need to be finely edited materials, just the ideas,
instructions, and photos if you have them. The following link provides an
idea of what they are looking for in terms of content: http://www.scouts.ca/inside.asp?cmPageID=283

REGISTRATION
I would like to take the opportunity to extend a
note of thanks and appreciation to all those Group Committee Chairs, and their
teams, who have addressed the
outstanding adult registration issue promptly. Upon receiving the adult

been entering the new information into MMS and hope to be completed the task
early next week. Any late submissions, please send your documentation
a.s.a.p. Again, thank you all
for all your hard work and dedication to keeping our kids safe.

Let’s
also thank and congratulate those who
extended the invitations to our Friendfest members.
Our Friendfest numbers represent 17% of the
Divisional Council’s totals for youth and 32% for adult volunteers. Next Year we
will do even better! Yes, there will be a next year. While our membership didn’t
explode, all studies and surveys tell us that we recruit best through personal
contact with friends and neighbours. So,
next year at the same time, we will do a Friendfest campaign again. This will complement the Fall retention
program to which we are committing ourselves as part of the Key Result
Expectations
QUALITY
In Scouting we talk about a quality program. What
does that mean? There are many things that we can say make up a quality program.
Outdoors, games, spirituality, crafts, songs, badges, service work, and awards,
these are all elements of a quality program. Over the years of my involvement in
Scouting there have been different gauges of a quality program. Some of these
are attendance, retention, number of youth receiving Chief Scout, Queen
Venturer, or the World Conservation Badge which are still good ways to gauge the
program. In these years of declining membership, with not enough time or hours
in the day and mental blocks in program ideas, here is a broader statement at
which will help define a quality program. A quality program can be defined as,
"The activities that the youth want to do in their section!" What does this
statement really mean?
Here are some examples of what we can let our youth
do:
- Choose the requirements that they want to do to earn the different
stars, badges, awards, etc which they work on as a pack/six or troop/patrol.
- Help plan the menu for camp.
- Have input to the activities that they
would like to do at camp, meeting or outing.
- Pick or run a game (not the
same one every week)
- Pick or run a craft (not the same one every week)
- Pick or lead a song (not the same one every week)
(They may choose the
same one every week since they were having fun, but that does not let them
experience other opportunities.)
If we, as
leaders, give the youth opportunities to
have input in their program, they will come back. You will have greater respect
in the youth's eyes since you not only listened but you acted on their requests
and ideas. The youth then will become the owners of Scouting and will want
it to succeed and will be there to insure that it does. Our actions will speak
louder than any words that we can speak. Plan their ideas into the program; ask
them what they like, get them to tell you what went wrong when it did not work.
They may have not noticed that it did not work and had fun anyway. Learn by
doing, normally means that it did or does not work the first time. Let them get
their hands and feet dirty. We all make mistakes and remember, to err is human. Let the youth have input in
their program and you will be the coolest leader in the world. It will
also be neat to the youth that adults do care and listen; the smiles and
laughter will definitely put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
THE 3rd ANNUAL OPEMIKON WORK
WEEKEND will be held on the weekend of April 25th-27th, 2003. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact Tim Taylor at (819) 561-1613 or email at opegroupcommittee@voyageur.scouts.ca

THE SCOUT SHOP—Trail Notes
BRAND NAMES FOR LESS!
At the Scout Shop we have
a philosophy, you wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, so why buy a tent
without seeing it? That is why we have a 5,000-sq. ft. tent room for you
and your family to walk through and explore. Combine this with our educated
staff, who will be happy to answer all your outdoor questions, and our lifetime
tent warranties you’ll be sure to find exactly what you’re looking for.
The store currently has over six hundred tents in stock at very competitive
pricing. We will not be undersold!
For all you pound counters out there, lighten up!
Eureka introduces the Zeus 2EXO tent. This two-man tent weighing in at 3
lbs. was designed to be the most spacious tent for the least amount of
weight. The Zeus offers a roomy 5’ x 7’ x 4’ sleeping area thanks to its
unique exoskeleton frame and its super-tough gated carabineers. With its
large vestibule, patented high-low ventilation system, and a set-up time of less
than three minutes the Zeus system provides maximum weather protection.
Scouts Canada offers you this fantastic tent at $199.99, regular in-store price
$215.00, and until the end of the April’03 with purchase you’ll get a $15.00
store credit to spend on a new sleeping bag* or backpack* (*some restrictions
apply—see store for details).
Our Coleman deal for this month is the Coleman
thermo-electric cooler. This cooler keeps your food hot or cold by simply
plugging it into your car’s 12-volt car plug. No ice, no mess. There
is even a separate adapter available so you can plug it in at home. This
40-quart cooler at a sale price of $79.99 is the next best thing to taking your
refrigerator on the road. (Hurry in quantities are limited!)
A Final Note:
With summer fast approaching and
several jamborees this year, Scouts Canada wants to remind you we offers bulk
discounts on tents (quantities of three or more).
Store Hours: Monday to Thursday 9-6pm /
Friday 9-8pm / Saturday 9-5pm / Sunday 11-4pm.
Thank you for your past, present, and future
support, Yours in Scouting, Ian Thomas, National Advertising Coordinator
