Scouters,
This summer, my troop, 21st Waterloo, will be going to England for the WINGS 2009 international camporee.
To raise funds for the trip, the troop parents and Scouts are hosting a fish fry dinner. Fish will be cooked by Tom Howell, the famous fishmonger from Wiarton.
The dinner will be this Friday, June 26 in the hall at Waterloo Christian Reformed Church on Bearinger Road, just north of UW North Campus. There are seatings from 5:00 to 7:15pm. Tickets are $16 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under. Preschoolers by donation. Advanced tickets only.
For tickets, please contact me by email Liam Morland (Liam@Morland.ca) or at 519-729-2227.
If you know of an appropriate bulletin board, I would appreciate it if you would print a copy of our flier and post it there. You can find the poster PDF here:

Fellow Scouters,
Multicultural Festival Saturday June 20th and Sunday June 21st
We have a place at the multicultural festival for our Scouting information booth and display. I would like to get some help with this. We also need to have help with the colour party for the Official Ceremonies.
At the official ceremonies we lead the procession of dignitaries to the stage. The past several years we have built a pyramidal structure from spars and decked it out with flags. Anyone wanting to help should come in full uniform. They should attend at the scout display at Victoria Park arriving by 2:30. We will then move to the Clock Tower. Anyone arriving after 2:30 should go directly to the Clock Tower to be there by 2:45 p.m. The ceremonies begin at 3:00 and take about 45 minutes. Scouts who help with this can use this as a community service project.
I also need help with the display and handing out information. Both youth and adults are welcome to help. You do not have to stay all day, Just let me know the hours that you can manage and I will slot you in. We will have a marshmallow roast and perhaps some other activities. If you have any ideas please let me know. Scouts who help with this can use this as a community service project. We will start at 9:00 a. m. on Saturday and go until about 6:00 p.m. and on Sunday we will start at 9:30 and go until about 5:00 p.m.
This is an opportunity to promote Scouting in our community. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can help out.

Hello.
The following information is from Scouts Canada:
On Wednesday May 6th 2009, MMS will be updated to enable early registrations for the upcoming 2009-2010 Scouting Year. Because of this, MMS may be shut down for short periods of time that morning from approximately 8:00 am. An announcement will be sent out when the system is back up.
After the May 6th update, the registration process in MMS will be very similar but registrars will be able to choose the appropriate registration year (i.e. this year or next year). If a member has been registered in the wrong year, corrections can only be made by MMS support at the National Office (mms@scouts.ca
Note: As in previous years, org unit administrators should set the Maximum Volunteers (Next Session) and Maximum Youth (Next Session) before May 6th. This is done in the Org Profile (Admin) page in MMS. In the event that these fields are not set, we will set maximum youth and maximum volunteer next session fields to 40.
Sincerely,

Hello.
Our Pack (21st Waterloo) is headed to Ottawa on My 15 for three nights. We leave first thing in the morning on Friday May 15th (Cubs will miss a day of school) and return Monday May 18th around 7pm.
We will be travelling by coach bus and will be staying at the Ottawa Jail Hostel in old jail cells converted to dorm rooms. Our meals will be either at the hostel, one dinner at the food court at the Rideau Center, a fajita meal at the Lone Star Cafe, and then dinner at a service center on the way home.
We will be visiting and touring the Mint, Museum of Science and Technology, War Museum, Aviation Museum, and the Parliament Buildings. We will also be taking in the fireworks at Dow's Lake on the Saturday night. We will also be doing a driving tour of the PM's house and Rideau Hall, the Governor General's house.
As it stands, we have approximately 10 spaces available for our trip. The cost per person for everything except the food court on the first night and the truck stop on the way home is $275. If a Cub from a particular pack wants to go, we will need a leader from that pack also to go. In reality, this likely means a leader and their own child.
Please respond by Apr 24 if interested. Contact Mike Onotsky at mike@onotsky.net
Thank you

Organise your group for a great evening of adventure!
Fellow Scouters
We will have the Scouting Display and Information Booth set up at the Multi-cultural festival this weekend, Saturday June 21 and Sunday June 22 in Victoria Park in Kitchener. There is an opportunity for leaders and adults to help with this project. We particularly need help with the Colour Party to lead the Parade of Dignitaries. Scouting Adults and Youth are needed to carry the flags. Let me know if you can come. The Colour Party is needed to assemble at 2:45 p.m. for 3:00. It is necessary to be in attendance for about a half hour. Come and join in the Festival and have your youth participate in a community service.
If you are able to attend, please contact Scouter Ted Claxton at tclaxton@execulink.com
