Scouts Canada – Chinook Council 2012-2013 Annual Report a Message from the Chinook Council Scouts Canada – Chinook Council 2012-2013 Annual Report A Message from the Chinook Council Looking back on the 2012-13 Scouting year, Chinook Council can be proud of many accomplishments. We made a positive impact on the lives of more than 7,200 young people across Southern Alberta, supported by a dedicated team of more than 3,600 volunteers and a small corps of employees. For the fifth time in six years, we increased the number of youth who participated in Scouting. Chinook had almost 800 Scouts and Scouters participate in the Canadian Scout Jamboree at Camp Woods and hosted 169 pre and post-Jamboree visitors to Camp Gardner. We also supported the Senator Buchanan Winter Adventure and outdoor experiences like: • Iron Scout, • Cub-o-Rama, • Survivorman Challenge, • Tom Pratt Camp, • Great Escape, • Scoutrees, • Area soap box derbies. Members also participated in the 14th World Scout Moot. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do to support Scouting in Southern Alberta.

  • Bob Harding Volunteer of the Year 2011
    CITATION FOR BOB HARDING VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 2011 Bob Harding initially became part of Scouting partly to spend time with his two sons, who grew up through the top levels, receiving Chief Scout Awards. His boys benefited from their father’s guidance but were not handed this award. Instead, Bob made sure his sons put forth full effort and learned the necessary skills for success. Over the years, Bob served as a Beaver Leader, Cub Leader, and Scout Leader. He also served for a few years in the local Scouting Group Committee. Since 2006, Bob has been the Assistant Group Commissioner for the South Frontenac Scouting Group. In 1997, Bob took 10 South Frontenac youth to a Canadian Scout Jamboree in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Two years later, he took six local youth to a World Jamboree in Santiago, Chile. He even made the extra effort of learning Spanish to allow himself and his charges to feel more comfortable in a country foreign to them. Bob has been part of South Frontenac Scouting since 1989, taking local Scouting youth to great distances for jamborees. Bob continues to support, educate, advise and organize the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturer groups in South Frontenac. Parents can thank Bob Harding for helping to educate their children in the ways of Baden Powell; respecting nature, respecting themselves and others, while learning to work as a team member. Under Bob’s guidance and leadership, and in keeping with the Scouting philosophy, youth develop into strong and honest contributing members of society. We wish to thank Bob Harding for his many contributions to Scouting in this community by recognizing him as a Volunteer of the Year.

  • Canadian Jamboree 2013 (CJ'13): Next Summer!
    Canadian Jamboree 2013 (CJ’13): Next Summer! (Document Updated Page 3, December 2012) Next summer, Scouts Canada’s largest event, its National Canadian Jamboree is being held in the Province of Alberta. The Troop is still in the planning stage and we have many puzzle pieces left come together. However, even though the logistics are a work in progress, and we have almost a year, Scouts Canada will want monies in by the end of this year and we will want as a Troop to register as soon as possible. This letter intended as a preliminary call for participation. What is the Canadian Scout Jamboree? A Canadian Scout Jamboree or CJ for short, is a large jamboree run by Scouts Canada, where Scouts from other provinces and territories join and camp for a week of fun, camaraderie and adventure. One will also see Scouts from other countries joining in as well. Canadian Jamboree’s are pinnacle events in a Canadian Scout’s career, but, they are also rare. In the last fifteen years only three CJ’s have been held in Canada. Where will CJ’13 be held? CJ’ 13 will be held at Sylvan Lake, Alberta July 3-13, 2013. The area is between Calgary and Edmonton and just east of Jasper and Banff National Parks and Kananaskis Country. Dates for travel and any additional Troop activities TBA. When will registration be due? Registration will be due around Christmas time in 2012. What are the fees? We are still working on that, but what we do know is that the early jamboree fee will need to be received by December.
