Hello Scouts/Venturer,
*Covid Update* Scouts Canada has informed us that we are now allowed to do in person scouting. Masks will be required when indoors, or when 6ft distancing can’t be maintained. The waiver will need to be signed on drop off for in person meetings. We are currently looking into an online option for the waiver to be filled out prior to dropping off your youth.
*New Meeting Location* Great news! We’ve acquired access to a school gym for our meetings. This will begin in March at a new location. The new location is the gym at Ellengale Public School. Please walk to the back of the school, where there are two big metal doors. You’ll use that to enter the gym. Masks will be required when meeting inside the gym as we’re indoors.
*New Calendar / Website* The provider that we were using previously for our calendar (Google Legacy G_Suite) will be switching to a paid version, so we’ve made some changes to our calendar. If you’ve previously had it downloaded to your phone, please be sure to download the new calendar. One thing that I do is add the calendar to my phone, so with any updates it automatically updates, and I can see it easily. You can add the calendar to your phone by following directions here: www.1sterindalescouts.ca/add-calendar/ If you don’t wish to add to your own calendar, then please check the website for the most up to date calendar here: www.1sterindalescouts.ca/sections/scouts/
