Happy Holidays

We will not hold any further meetings until January.  Stay tuned for more information about the second half of the year, where we plan to start using the new Scouts Canada Canadian path programme.

Until then, all the best to you and all of yours!

Last Regular meeting for 2014

On Wednesday, December 10th, we will hold our last regular meeting for 2014 at St. Francis of Assisi - regular time. 

I was debating whether or not to hold one more following that, but since we don't have the school on the 17th we need to leave that one for the moment as "weather determined".  I have so far struck out on finding us an indoor activity for the evening...but am still looking.  If you have an idea for that - something fairly cost and distance efficient - please let me know.

I was a little disappointed on the low turnout at the Christmas party last week.  Some of you had let me know they could not attend, but not all.  I hope to keep an open communication with you all, so if you or your child have any concerns at all about the current program please let me know so I can take steps to rectify it.  The rest of the leaders and myself are looking to shore up the second half of the agenda shortly...keeping in what's working and repair what's not.  We all are more than happy to work with you all to keep things exciting!

Yours in Scouting,

Innisfil 2014 Inauguration

This evening, 1st Alcona Scouting were proud participants for the inauguration of our new Mayor, Gord Wauchope, new Deputy Mayor Lynn Dollin and all the ward counselors - both new and returning. 

 

Mason Hicks and Daniel Weichel were there to represent our colony and did a great job (albeit a comic-relief one) of escorting a couple of the new counselors to their seats following their swear-in.

 

The entire ceremony went extremely well, and all of the boys and girls from both 1st Alcona and 1st Stroud did a fantastic job in their duties.  I'm very proud of them all.

 

Being involved with the community, whether as a Beaver/Cub/Scout, a Fire Fighter, a Police Officer, a Town Counselor, a Mayor or many of the other important roles that various volunteers and employees take on is an incredibly important thing.  It's my hope that the boys will learn more about service during their terms with the group and beyond.

 

We wish the new Mayor and the entire council great success over the next four years and hope to be there to grant support in any way possible.  May you continue to be an inspiration to us all.
