We are only Leaders&#8230;&#8230;
We are only leaders &#8211; we are not experts – we are your next-door neighbours – we are not perfect, we are parents just like you. We don’t have any more spare time or energy than you do, we all work full time and juggle our families and our schedules and try to keep it all together as best we can.
The only difference between us is that we believe passionately about what Scouting has to offer. So much so, that we contribute our time, our efforts and our talents to help our children &#8211; and your children &#8211; grow in Scouting.
We complete authorization forms, budgets and records and fill our homes with boxes of paperwork you will never see. We are required to take 13-20 hours training in our first year as well as assist in planning meetings every month so we can meet our greatest challenge ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Scouters, Parents and Friends,
As I wrote to advise you earlier this week, the CBC&#8217;s Fifth Estate followed up its December 8th profile with another hour-long segment on Scouts Canada and a number of specific instances of abuse that occurred in past decades. It ran Friday night and those of you who watched will agree that it was quite challenging.
While I knew my interview would be difficult, I welcomed the opportunity to express personally our sincere apologies to any Scouts who have been harmed in the past, to emphasize our determination to confront these issues head on and to explain the steps that we have already taken towards doing so. Of course, I also took the occasion to underscore the measures we have and continue to put in place in support of child and youth safety.
In the same spirit, I want to underscore that at all times and in all public comments ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scouts, Scouters, parents and friends,
It&#8217;s been a few weeks since my last message to you on our enhanced Child and Youth Safety initiatives, and I wanted to give you an update on our progress to date.
As you may know, on December 9, 2011, I spoke with the CBC&#8217;s Fifth Estateand announced a number of steps to underline Scouts Canada&#8217;s commitment to youth protection. These involved three key elements:

A formal apology to all former Scouts who had suffered harm or abuse who suffered harm at the hands of those who abused the trust and responsibility they had gained as volunteer leaders in our organization;
A formal review of all records held by Scouts Canada by KPMG with an eye to confirming the integrity of past practices, and
The formation of an expert Child and Youth Safety Advisory Committee to offer recommendations on how we can enhance Scouts Canada&#8217;s Child and Youth Safety policies and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Parents, Scouters, Partners and Supporters:
For 104 years, Scouts Canada has been committed to the healthy development of young people in every community across our country. Children and youth in Scouts gain invaluable experiences and skills that help them develop into capable, confident and well-rounded individuals who are better prepared for success in the world.
For these same reasons, nothing is more important than the wellbeing of the children and youth with whom we work so closely and whose lives we seek to influence for the better. Their safety and health is a solemn obligation that we do our best to meet with great care and concern. That is why we strive to ensure that our child and youth protection policies are the most rigorous of any youth services organization in the country. Today, more than ever, great care is necessary to ensure the children and youth in Scouting are protected ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1st Riverlake Scouters,
As you know, CBC the fifth estate did a program last night called &#8220;Scout&#8217;s Honour&#8221;.  The program focused on some horrible examples of past child abuse in Scouting, both in Boy Scouts of America and Scouts Canada.  If a parent approach you about the CBC program or has any questions about Scouts Canada&#8217;s volunteer screening processes, here is some information that may help.
First of all, there is detailed information on the Scouts Canada website regarding youth protection.  Here is the link.  http://www.scouts.ca/ca/youth‑protection
The link has information that may be useful to parents and leaders.  It also includes the Duty of Care and the Parent&#8217;s Guide on Child Abuse which all new leaders in our Group receive when I interview them as part of the Volunteer screening process.
Second, the Scouts Canada webpage http://www.scouts.ca/ has a link to the letters sent to the CBC from Janet Yale, our National Executive Commissioner ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to another exciting year of Cubs with 1st Riverlake Cub Pack. For those of you who are returning, welcome back.  For those who are joining us for the first time, we are very happy to have you in our Group.  At this time, we have 18 Cubs registered in the Pack. 
Meetings – Our meetings will be held Thursdays from 6:30 – 7:45 at Ash Lee Jefferson School. 
Leaders – We have a great team of leaders this year but we would really benefit from the addition of two more to assist with supervising Cubs and helping out with activities.  We know that leaders will miss some meetings because of work and other commitments, and we need a minimum number of leaders present at each meeting and activity or else we have to cancel it.  Having additional leaders available provides more supervision for special activity nights but also creates a little more latitude for all leaders ...]]></description>
