Nutrition for Learning volunteers run two Tim Horton's tents. One sells just beverages and the other sells beverages and cookies that can be decorated. This year the event will be held on August 19th and 20th. It takes place at Victoria Park in Kitchener and we usually need volunteers from about 10:00am until 4:30pm. It is a really busy couple of days but it's also a lot of fun. If it would be possible to get 4 or 5 volunteers for each day that would be great. If only a few people are interested that's fine too. We'd appreciate any help at all.

A caution should be noted to all groups planning to attend this event that to date no registrations or numbers have been received.

To All Cub Leaders and Group Commissioners
After consultation with some of the Cub Leaders about the Everton Summer Cub Camp the following has been decided Your support of our Summer Programs is needed. We can not operate at a defecit. Let's get as many youth involved as possible
Yours in Scouting Attention Colony Scouters!
Want a chance to meet other Colony Leaders? Want to see what other Colonies are doing for games, crafts, outings, songs, spiritual ideas etc? Want to share your successes? Have you ever thought it would be fun to try something new with your Beavers? Would you like to attend a campfire with other Leaders and simply sit around and chat? Would you like to team up with other Colonies for a special event that your Beavers will remember for years to come?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions (or even "maybe"), then plan to attend the first Colony Scouters' Club meeting at Scout House on Thursday March 23rd from 8:00 — 9:30 PM. You will meet new friends and renew existing friendships. The Colony Scouters' Club could be similar to the existing Scouters' Club for Troop Leaders — or maybe not — it's up to us to decide what our club will be like!
We can use it to plan area wide events like a Beaveree or White Tail Day or whatever else we decide we would like to offer our Beavers. We can use it to plan fun events for Leaders only — maybe a campfire at Camp Mohawk or a night of bowling or a trip to Vegas (ok, maybe we'll have to wait until next year for that!) — it's up to us!
All we need is Leaders like you to come out and together with a little imagination we can come up with an idea or 2 that we can work with.
Everyone who attends will leave with a FREE craft idea!
Please contact Bob Thorn by phone at 884-3383 or by e-mail at north_wat-webguy@yahoo.ca Please pass this information on to all Colony Scouters you know.
See you on the 23rd!

This is a notice of a special general meeting of NWSPA. It is being held on March :27th 2006 at 7:30pm in the upstairs meeting room at Scout House.
It is to discuss the motion that was tabled at the last General Meeting. Please ensure that your group sends a delegate that has the authority to vote.
This is an open meeting that everyone can attend but only one person from each member group can vote.
( Member groups listed on Scout website under Property Association)
Dear Fellow Scouters,
Please Pass on this information to your fellow group members.
A number of Groups have asked me for clarification concerning the down side of our taking legal action to protect the interest of our North Waterloo Scouting Property. The question that has been posed by those groups is — what would be the financial impact if we lose. The short answer is that it is hard to say.
By way of background, our association was formed for the purpose of supporting our camps and giving the groups a say in the management of and priorities set related to our property. Stu Eley of the Provincial Incorporated Body was at that meeting. The members at that initial meeting voted to leave the question of legal proceedings off the table for the time being. In the meantime no progress was made and our Council would not even undertake a neutral stand on the issue, much less support us. If we do nothing the North Waterloo property will be able to be dealt with at the whim of the Provincial Incorporated Body which is totally controlled by Scouts Canada, according to our By-laws.
The basic answer is that question is that the Court could decided to impose on us the full legal costs incurred by the Provincial Incorporated Body. On an application those costs could range up to $60,000.00. Scouts Canada's interest in having the propety free and clear of any trust obligation is, of course, huge so they will not see the costs as prohibitive. There is only one case that I know of in which individuals were held liable to pay the costs related to an action by representatives of an association. That was a case in which the association was formed for no other reason than prosecuting a law suit. The chances of any individual being required by the Court to contribute to the costs is slim to remote. The possibility of the groups being reqired to contribute if we lose is a certainty. Becuase we are an unincorporated body we require a representation order. The representatives will need to feel that they are not personally vulnerable. This is why we are having a vote and making sure that every group that signs on is fully aware that they may have to contribute to any costs award. The representative plaintiffs also risk personal liability if the representatived groups would or could not pay. I am prepared to be a representative plaintiff.
The real question is — what is at stake and is it worth the risk. What is at stake is over 60 years of financial contributions, toil, sweat and committment by the North Waterloo Scouting Community. In my view the Provincial Incorporated Body is a bare trustee, we have a deed that says "in trust" right on its face, and we have proof by minutes of our District that the properties were paid for by North Waterloo members. Both the evidence and the equities of the situation are on the side of North Waterloo. We have 30 groups in North Waterloo, if we all stand behind this the distributive risk is, in my view, worth the possible financial impact. Over the last 60 years we have made a huge contribiution, this is not the time to let it go through apathy.
The stewardship of North Waterloo's property is our heritage. Either we are prepared to stand up or we should just let it go. Ask yourself, who will make the personal committment to a property that would be under the continuing threat of disposal? Why would anyone contribute time, money, management talent, planning, committee work, not to mention sweat equity to a property that is controled by a corporation that has zero accountability to the membership? Why would local organizations like the Lions, Masons, Rotary, etc contribute one cent to a provincial or national body? It will not happen.

To All Group Commissioners and Leaders
In order to bring our youth, leaders and Area Activities closer together, I am pleased to advise you of new appointments to our North Waterloo Area executive team.
These folks will be the liaison among the various planning groups (eg Scouters' Club) for our Area section activities, the Area Commissioners' Team and our Group Commissioners. In this capacity their key functions are to communicate, coordinate and report on upcoming activities. In this way all of us will be better informed. These appointments are to our Area Executive Team. At this time they are not voting members of the Area Commissioners' Team.
These appointments will stand until the various section planning groups confirm the appointment or choose someone else who they wish to represent them.
For Beavers Bob Thorn Thank you to Bob, David, Ted, Jodi and Ken for accepting this additional responsibility. I know that we will have stronger and more effective Executive Team because of your commitment to excellence.
To All Cub Leaders
The first meeting for the 'Kim the Toolman Cuboree' had the best turnout in years. The next meeting is scheduled for March 22nd at 7:00 p.m. at Scout House 844 Frederick Street. More information and a pre-registration form is available at the following link: After many years of Yeoman service, David Wilson will not be with us this summer at Cub Camp. (David will be touring Africa this summer.) For this reason it gives me pleasure to announce that Sara Kassa and Pam Parker will be the directors of this summer's cub camp.
For many years we have had the benefits of a Grant to assist our Summer Cub program, this is no longer the case. This year the government has changed the tax structure and we are required to pay tax on the fees charged. As well, increasing costs for food and other program items forces us to make some fee changes.
There has been some confusion over the camp prices for this years Everton Summer Cub Camp. Even with these changes we are still providing one of the best experiances for youth and at one of the best prices around. We will be issuing a price comparison for other Cub Camps as they become available.
As always if there are specific hardship cases we will do all that we can to assist on a case by case basis.
If you have any questions or problems please contact me Kick off the B-P Scout/Guide Week with an outdoor Skate at the Kitchener City Hall Rink. Scouter Ted Claxton will be there with Hot Chocolate. It will be free to all scouts and leaders in uniform or wearing identifiable scouting gear. Others will be asked for a donation. Come on out for a skate and be part of the B-P week celebration. You can just drop by and say "Hi", take a short skate, or stay and skate till you drop. The purpose is to make Scouting visible in our community. Scouting is 99 years old this year! Help us let the community know that we are still a young organization.

Please note: Greetings,
I am sending this to most of my E-mail List, some may be duplicated but I
wanted to be sure everyone was aware of what the Toronto Blue Jays have
provided us for the Toronto-Boston Baseball Game on Sunday April 23, 2006.
These seat are being offered to Scouting for $25.20 ($42.00 regular seat)
and they are the 200 Club Level, 3rd Base Side (Executive padded seating).
They have blocked 480 Seats for us and I need to have confirmations by March
3, 2006. We have had cheques in for 102 seats to date but I have had calls
from people who were not aware of this special seat pricing. This is not a
Fundraiser but just an opportunity to have excellent seating at a lower
price for what should be a fantastic game. Please advise your Groups,
Family and Friends. It will be a fun filled afternoon and comfortable.
Regards, Cheques received will not be cashed
until the end of March 2006.
The Centennial Troop for this area is taking the lead on developing a celebratory event for Scouting in the Waterloo Region. In order to accomplish this they need the active support of the current leadership. Anyone who has ideas should sent them to Jim Tait. All leaders are encouraged to be part of the celebration being plannded World Wide to take place on August 1st, 2007. The next planning meeting will be on Tuesday, February 28 at NW Scout House. Submit ideas to Scouter Jim Tait (colpoybay@rogers.com).

Any group doing popcorn this year that doesn't have the excel spreadsheets to complete please email me and I will send them off to you.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me at: Fellow Scouters,

Pat Hicks We are fast approaching a new and exciting Scouting year. With the 100th Anniversary of Scouting just around the corner, now is really a great time to increase our efforts to raise the awareness of our Scouting Program and to recruit more youth and adult members. Being a member of Scouts Canada during its centennial celebrations is going to be really special!
Over the last several months, a small group of your colleagues have been working on a strategy to positively impact our membership. The North Waterloo Area Marketing for Members (M4M) Committee is made up of Debra Bechamp, Phil Schmidt, Mark Weir, David White and Bob Kalbfleisch.
The major thrusts of this year's awareness and membership strategy are: The purpose of this note is to provide you with more details on the mall related activities and to seek your help in making these activities a success.
Dates and Times: What Has Been Arranged: Our Request: With everyone doing a little bit, we are confident that the success of the mall awareness activities will be reflected in our Group and Area membership numbers. We are asking that those folks who staff the display area wear their uniforms, but if you or a group colleague does not have a uniform, please do not hesitate to volunteer. Your enthusiasm for Scouting is what is really important--and needed at these events.
We will also need help in setting up and taking down the displays.
How to Volunteer: For Fairview Mall, please contact Debra Bechamp at laings@rogers.com or telephone her at 576-5138.
In order that schedules can be arranged for the events, may we ask for your reply by August 21st.
If you have any questions or comments, please contract Phil, Debra or myself. Thank you for your help in making our NWA awareness activities a success.
Yours in Scouting, August 10, 2005
I am the Akela for the 21st Waterloo Cubs. This coming year we
are going to spend some time learning about and using GPS receivers and
starting our own Geocache. We would like to find out which other Cub and Scout
groups have access to a GPS receiver with the hopes of starting an area wide
Scouting GPS Club that will promote mapping the area as well as
organize and create fun ways to integrate GPS into Scouting activities and promote
more interaction among the groups in the area. We will be creating a private
website that Scouting groups can use to log caches and track who has
visited theirs.
Contact: "Mike Onotsky" Thanks
Our first Planning Meeting for Cuboree 2006 will take place 7:00 Jan. 19, 2006 at the Scout HQ on Frederick St. Our theme will be "Tim the Toolman's Workshop". We will be planning the activity project for this event and assigning duties for all who attend. This will be a first of its kind Cuboree that will give each youth hands on experience with power and hand tools to do their project to earn them the Handicraft and Carpenter Badges. This will be a keep for a lifetime project. Please plan to attend and email Bruce Boehmer, bboehmer@rogers.com YIS Bruce Boehmer 1st Bridgeport"
Dear Scouters;
On behalf of the directorship team for Everton Cub Camp I would like to
extend our thanks for your continued support of our programs. Without
the
help, support, and leadership that North Waterloo in particular
displays and
lends, our camp simply would not exist.
This year we made a difference to close to 200 youth, some of whom had
special needs and who may now benefit from a full year Scouting
program.
The plans for next year are all ready in the works, and I know that the
directors can count on North Waterloo's continued support.
On a side note we are offering a unique opportunity for Pack Scouters
this
fall. We have decided to ressurect the Fall Composite Camp. It will
run
September 30-October 2 at Camp Everton. The cost will be $25/
participant,
which will cover Wheeler Lodge accomidation, prepared meals, a crest,
and
some program as well. Activities will include archery, crafts, hiking
etc.
I will be cutting registration off at 80 youth, so pre-registration is
key.
Please email me with a confirmation that your pack will be attending
with
approximate numbers (scouterdavid@hotmail.com) It is a Jedi Academy
Theme,
so I think there will be lots of opportunity for fun. We will need
about 50
participants to make a go at this, so please respond ASAP.
