2017—2018 AREA POPCORN UPDATE
HELLO SCOUTERS AND POPCORN FUNDRAISER SUPPORTERS!
Do you know what the value of your Popcorn Fundraising has on a Youth?
Not only does it support everything within your Group but also $60 on the registration fee!!!
That is why we need everyone to continue and improve this fundraiser.
Purchasers are supporting Scouting and get a Popcorn product as a token of support.
We are not competing with stores for the sale of popcorn, but support for your Youth.
Remember Popcorn Fundraising subsidises Scouting membership fees plus your Group.
We are getting more information and material at the time of this writing and will let you know as soon as we do.
Our Scouters and volunteers are the backbone of Scouts Canada. We appreciate all of the hard work and plan-
ning that goes into making the Scout Popcorn Program successful every year.
Hamilton-Wentworth is still seeking a dynamic individual to become our Area Popcorn Coordinator. Anyone interested, please contact me. I am the coordinator until then and will work with Group coordinators or

CANADA150 Doug French is promoting the City of Hamilton Canada Day 150 events for Scouting. The first one may be particularly suited for the youth members. Doug hopes to get more info on what the children activities are and will pass them along to you. Doug French [email protected]
We, in Scouting, can join in the fun to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.
In order to share ideas of ways in which to mark this special year, we hope that Scouters will ask their
youth members for their ideas on how to celebrate. If you send the ideas to the Dispatch editor, we can
publish them for all to see. The suggestions may be an activity that could be done by an individual per-
son, by a section, by a group or possibly by the Area.

Also, remember that if you become aware of an act of
‘Gallantry or Meritorious Service’, to contact Bruce Rid-
diough, DAC Recognition. These types of awards are han-
dled by a process that differs from the `Outstanding Service’
Awards. The definition of Meritorious service is very broad,
so if you are thinking that it should be submitted, we sug-
gest that you do so.

HICOP Welcome to Camp Nemo’s Nature and Program Centre. We provide youth from Beavers to Rovers with many learning op-portunities. Our Centre has many exhibits and some interactive games and, generally, just fun stuff if you just want to come in and visit.
We also take bookings for either morning (10 am - 12 pm) or afternoon (1 pm - 3 pm) for specific Section programming.
To cover the cost of program material there is a small fee of $2.00 per youth with Scouters joining in at no cost. Book early as spots fill up and it is first come, first serve.
Please take the time to explore our website and see what we have to offer your group. http://hicop.ca/
