Dear Editor: I am at present trying to restart a Rover Crew that folded about six years ago. Although I have been out of Rovers for about four year, I have tried to keep in touch and in the process have read a few copies of your magazine. The copies I have read are an excellent publication. I am enclosing a cheque for two subscriptions for myself and my assistant. I would also be interested to' know if I could purchase any back issues for my records. I have been associated with five Rover Crews up to this date. The Crew that I am restarting is the "1st Toronto C.J. Coreless Rover Crew". The 1st Toronto was obviously the first and was chartered in 1908. I am again looking forward to my first Moot after all these years and also my first copy of your magazine. Yours in Rovering, John H. G ? Rover Leader Dear John: At present there are a few issues available of our magazine. Please forward a letter on to Greg Lengyell, c/o Rovering Magazine, Box 811, Cambridge (Gait). The cost is only 50f per issue. There are very few left so please specify that you requested them in the June issue of Rovering. Also, it was difficult to make out your name on your letter. Our apologies. Dear Editor: Enjoy the Rovering magazine very much so here is ray $4.00 for another years subscription. Rovering magazine keeps our Explorer Post informed on what is going on with our Northern Neighbours. Thank you. John M. Tew Advisor Post 451 Dear Editor: We thought we would drop you a line to let. you know that Rovering is thriving here in Quebec, but it is at an all time low. Thanks to Phil Newsome of the Canadian Leader Magazine we have been introduced to the Rovering Magazine. The few complementary issues that he sent us have been very informative on the activities and Moots that will be taking place around Ontario. The Granny Grunt Rover Crew is one of the most active and largest crews in Quebec. The crew will be attending The Camas Moot in Oshawa on Une 22-24. We are looking forward to this Moot because it will be our first one. We hope to meet you and our neighbouring Rovers at the Oshawa Moot so come on down. Yours in Rovering, Ian Keiccer Granny Grunt Rover Crew Brossard Quebec. Dear Editor: Enclosed you will find my $3.00 for another year of Rovering. The magazine is well written and informative and definately worth subscribing to. In your latest issue you had a Retrospect look on Jim Simmons talk from the last Provincial Conference in Niagara Falls. I was at the recent conferance at Camp Opemikon and found his talk thought provoking. Since that time our crew, at every available moment, have been promoting Rovering. It's amazing how many people have never heard of Rovers no wonder we have such a poor public image! So, I a agree with Jim Simmons in that we must pull together and get our voice heard. It's up to us to preserve Rovering for the future! Yours in Rovering, Ann Marie 1st Rideau Rovers. Dear Editor: Recently, it was brought to my attention that a small problem has arisen with respect to various activities being held within the Rover and Ranger programs. I see the problem as the following: Rover-Ranger activities have been held recently, and have even been advertised as such. In reality these events turn out to be "teen dances" or the like. Compounding the problem further, is the fact that groups hosting these events, charge "rip-off" prices Now, I've got nothing against the "PUBLIC". They are the ones whom keep our respective movements above board, and lend a great deal of support. Neither do admittance charges to events bother me, so long as I receive fair value for my money. My question is this Why should Rovers and Rangers need to put up with this.nonsense?".... If the group organizers would plan their events properly and advertise accordingly, "Teen Dances" and the like could be kept for Church youth groups or the local high school. Sufficient promotion and organization would also lead to far better attendance and the host groups could give then, a fair return for their admittance fee. Yours in Rovering, Greg Lengyell 24th Cambridge Rover Crew Best Wishes from Co/one/Sanders and his Boys and Girls at • CLOSE ENCOUNTERS The following is a subject that to date has not been touched in Rovering magazine, not that we didn't want to discuss it, but that we could not seem to find the right approach.

  • Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a Proposal – December 2011
    Spirituality in the Scouts Canada Program a proposal – December 2011 Lord Baden-Powell & Duty to God God is not some narrow-minded personage, as some people would seem to imagine, but a vast Spirit of Love that overlooks the minor differences of form and creed and denomination and which blesses every [person] who really tries to do his [/her] best, according to his [/her] lights, in His service. in “Rovering to Success” Reverence to God, reverence for one’s neighbour and reverence for oneself as a servant of God, are the basis of every form of religion. in “Aids to Scoutmastership” Spirituality means guiding ones’ own canoe through the torrent of events and experiences of one’s own history and of that of [humankind]. To neglect to hike – that is, to travel adventurously – is to neglect a duty to God. God has given us individual bodies, minds and soul to be developed in a world full of beauties and wonders. in “The Scouter” January 1932 The aim in Nature study is to develop a realisation of God the Creator, and to infuse a sense of the beauty of Nature. in “Girl Guiding” Real Nature study means…knowing about everything that is not made by [humans], but is created by God. In all of this, it is the spirit that matters. Our Scout law and Promise, when we really put them into practice, take away all occasion for wars and strife among nations. The wonder to me of all wonders is how some teachers have neglected Nature study, this easy and unfailing means of education, and have struggled to impose Biblical instruction as the first step towards getting a restless, full-spirited boy to think of higher things.

  • Busy Beavers (White Tails) 4 Keeo 4 Guidelines for Linking Beavers to Cubs WHY TAILS?
    Cha pter 7 TAIL GROUPS AND LODGES Why Tails? 4 Purpose of Tails 4 Tail Colours 4 Determination of Tail Colour 4 Program Use of Tails 4 Benefits of Lodges 4 Choosing a Lodge Patch 4 Activity Ideas for Tails and Lodges 4 Busy Beavers (White Tails) 4 Keeo 4 Guidelines for Linking Beavers to Cubs WHY TAILS? “I like to wear my Beaver tail because it makes me look like a real beaver.” You’ll hear these words from many Beavers. The Beaver tail is important to them because it’s part of their mag - ical world, and they identify very closely with real beavers. Beaver tails symbolize the stages of development different age groups are going through. They’re concrete recognition that the children are growing bigger physically and developing socially and emotionally. Chapter 6 talks about understanding and working with Beavers. It also looks at characteristics and abilities of children in the Beaver age group, and suggests leaders take them into consid - eration when building programs. Tail groups are designed to help you do this effectively. PURPOSE OF TAILS Beaver tails have a special purpose. They are meant to celebrate personal change and growth in children at their specific age. Goals include, to: 4 Provide a means to build Beavers’ self-esteem by positive recognition of personal growth and development. 4 Provide Beavers with the opportunity to interact with peers who are at a similar stage of development. 4 Help leaders plan programs by grouping Beavers of similar abilities and levels of understanding. TAIL COLOURS The colours used for the Beaver tails (brown, blue and white) echo traditional Beaver colours and shades of brown and blue used in the Beaver hat and flag.

Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures de l'Université Laval dans le cadre du programme de maîtrise en anthropologie pour l'obtention du grade de maître ès arts (M.A.) DÉPARTEMENT D'ANTHROPOLOGIE FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES SOCIALES UNIVERSITÉ LAV AL QUÉBEC 2009 © Dominic Simard, 2009 Résumé Ce mémoire porte sur le plus grand mouvement de jeunesse dans le monde actuel: le . Mouvement scout, qui a célébré en 2007 son centième anniversaire. Dans le cadre d'un 21 e rassemblement mondial qui eu lieu en Angleterre au mois de juillet 2007, près de 40 000 scouts provenant de 156 pays ont passé 12 jours ensemble, fidèles au thème de l'évènement: « Un monde, une promesse ». Ils ont fait valoir, collectivement, un discours de paix imprégné de l'envergure et de l'effervescence d'un tel « rendez-vous » mondial. La recherche qui est présentée dans ce mémoire s'est penchée sur la nature du discours de paix construit lors de ce grand « Jamboree» scout. 111 Avant-propos Dans le domaine de la recherche en sciences sociales et plus particulièrement au stade embryonnaire d'un projet de maÎtrise en anthropologie sociale et culturelle, il me semble bien que l'aventure commence en profondeur: sous le continent de 'la clarté, dans ,l'eau trouble d'une foule d'idées.

  • Membership Retention in Scout Troops
    W o r l d S c i e n s s t i f e i r c g C n o Membership Retention in Scout Troops Liam Morland Online Course Developer Distance Education, University of Waterloo, Canada (Rersearch, experiences) 1 Introduction The headline of Scouts Canada’s annual report exclaimed in big letters “Membership is Climbing! ”. The report went on to praise the exciting programme Scouts Canada offers and to thank Scouters and others for making it all happen. That was in 1996, when membership rose to 231,042 members, an increase of 1% (Scouts Canada 1996:17). It was the first year of membership growth since 1981, but it was also the last. As of 2007, membership was 99,573. The 57% decline between 1996 and 2007 is not the full story. At the height of membership in 1965, Scouts Canada had 321,608 members consisting of 288,084 young people and 33,524 adults. At this time, the Beaver section did not exist; young people had to be eight years old before they could join. With Beavers removed for a proper comparison, 2007 youth membership was 52,674, a decline of 82% since 1965. This membership decline, both long-term and in recent years, is a pressing concern for Scouts Canada. Since Scouting is a non-formal educational movement for young people, fewer members means that Scouts Canada is further from achieving its mission. On a practical level, Scouts Canada spent $139 per youth member on staff salaries and benefits during 2006/2007 (Scouts Canada 2007:4).

  • This Is How BSA Members Can Participate in the 2019 World Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve
    This is how BSA members can participate in the 2019 World Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve The 2017 National Jamboree has ended, and the countdown to the 2019 World Scout Jamboree has begun. The 24th World Scout Jamboree will be held at the BSA’s permanent Jamboree home, the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. It is actually co-hosted by three Scout organizations: the Boy Scouts of America, Scouts Canada and Asociación de Scouts de México. A World Jamboree in our country is a once-in-a-generation event. The 2019 World Scout Jamboree will be the first held in North America in 36 years (1983, Alberta, Canada) and the first held in the United States in 52 years (1967, Idaho). Approximately 50,000 Scouts and Scouters from 167 different countries are expected to attend the event, to be held July 22 to August 2, 2019. They will meet people from around the world while enjoying SBR’s world-class adventure offerings. The promise of the World Scout Jamboree on American soil is encompassed in the U.S. contingent’s motto: “The Boy Scouts of America wants you to come see the world!” Now that you are sufficiently hyped up, your next question is probably: Great, how do I become a part of this moment in history? Largest U.S. contingent ever The BSA contingent will include 10,000 people — the largest contingent the BSA has ever sent to a World Jamboree. The total will encompass Scouts/Venturers, adults and staff. That will break down like this: ▪ 7,200 youth participants (ages 14 to 17; see details below) and adult leaders ▪ 2,700 members of the International Service Team (the name for staff at the World Jamboree) ▪ 100 members of the Contingent Management Team Even though the BSA’s presence at the World Jamboree will be large, we will make up only one out of every five people at the event.
