Scouting 2012-2013

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Through Scouting, we each make significant contributions to the youth of our communities.  Whether we proudly wear a uniform to a section meeting or quietly work behind the scenes to support those who do, we each share a common vision to enhance the lives of the children in our community.  Important to this grand task is the role you fulfill as the Group Registrar.   You begin organizing the membership in your group.  It starts with you.

You make the difference by helping to ensure that our volunteers are properly screened and registered, so that they will have insurance coverage, that they receive the Scouting Life magazine and that they receive an appropriate Service Award.  To our youth, your role is equally important as registering them with Scouts Canada gives them access to the full benefits of Scouting.  Insurance coverage, scholarships, local, national and international youth events all begins with the simple steps you take.  It’s very important to register members in a timely fashion as membership begins the day they are registered in the Membership Management System (MMS).

Please check the website regularily for updates.
