Scoutstracker: The place to go to see your youths’ development at the 104th. It’ll show all their achievements, schedule, goals, etc…
MyScouts.ca: Used every year, to re-register your youth and any volunteers.
Calendar: Will show you all the great adventures coming up throughout the year. It is color-coded for each section and also include all-sections events. The calendar is a live document, so expect there will be additions and changes, but we’ll aim to keep it as up to date as possible. Alternatively, you can subscribe to your section’s calendar through ScoutsTracker, so that events show up directly in your preferred calendar app. Just login to ScoutsTracker, click on ‘Schedule’ (left-hand side), then click on ‘Subscribe’ (bottom right-hand corner). Then it’ll explain how to integrate it into your calendar app.
Attendance: Please do your best to be on time. The meeting begins and ends with a grand round and it’s an important time to come together as a section.
Weekly Dues: To help subsidize operational costs (badges, craft supplies, etc.), we request $1.00, which is collected at beginning of each meeting by a senior youth. Instead of giving your youth money for dues, you could encourage them to earn it by doing a weekly chore at home. This teaches the youth responsibility and provides them with a sense of accomplishment for paying the dues themselves.
Uniform: The scout uniform must be worn at all meetings and formal events. It varies by section but consists of a shirt for chipmunk, vest & hat for beavers, and a shirt for cubs, scouts, venturers and rovers. These are available online at the Scout Shop, however to save shipping costs, we will be placing a group order a couple of times a year. For all sections, the uniform also includes a necker and woggle, which are provided to each youth when they are invested into the group.
Programming: We follow the Canadian Path in order to develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world. With Scouts Canada’s Youth-led programming, youth put leadership and teamwork into play by planning their activities with the guidance of an adult Scouter. The great Scouting adventure allows youth to explore new things, share ideas, learn new skills, and create new paths. Along the way they meet new friends, learn teamwork, and develop self-confidence.
