Hi All,
  I hope you have all had a great summer and are all looking forward to the start of the new season. Some groups have already placed posters at parks, local businesses and community centers and I encourage other groups and sections to do so also. Lets get the word out about our amazing youth program.
  I am pleased to announce a new calendar of events for our area through the Ohiyo Web site http://ca.geocities.com/ohiyonews or directly at http://www.geocities.com/ohiyocalendar. This is a great resource when planning or updating your agenda. It has all special events, training and holidays. If you want something of interest added, let me know.
  To kick off the year, the area is planning a Scouters family camp (see attached invitation), geared to helping to provide exiting program for your meetings. We will also be hosting our now famous Outdoor 101 as a provincial event, for those of you who are looking for outdoor skills to spice up your camps. We plan to have several Scouters clubs this year. The plan is to keep it to fun informal meetings that will give every one the opportunity to socialize and share ideas with other leaders that share your interest in Scouting.
  Our Nanibia group is due back this Saturday (August 16), and I am sure they have some amazing stories to share. Part of their mandate is to give presentation upon their return, so keep this in mind for an exiting evening. The team built 20 Special disease controlling out houses, 2 School houses and playgrounds. We should be really proud of them and I am sure they will be a great resource.
  Congratulations, Popcorn sales last year were a record for Ohiyo and the best in the province. This easy sell has the potential to pay for an entire camp or even the whole program. Some new products have also been added, so be sure to add selling popcorn to your plan this year.
  I wish you all the best in the new season, and remember that Ohiyo Service team is here to help out so don't be shy to ask.

Hi everyone,
  J'espere que vous avez tous eu de bons vacances pendant l'ete! Je viens juste de retourner de quelques semaines en Europe, et j'ai quelque chose a vous donner.
  The attached article (PDF and word doc), english and french, is a recruitment Advertisement/Article that Carole Ravenda and I prepared last February. The original idea was to have it published in all of the community newspapers in Quebec, but that didn't work out so well. So instead, I'm giving it to all the ACs and AYCs so that you can do with it what you'd like. If you want to use it by posting it in the newspapers in your Area (which I think would be a great idea), go for it!
  Alternativement, peut-etre ca serait plus simple de juste la donner a tous les groupes pour qu'ils peuvent en servir comme ils veulent. Au lieu de essayer de coordonner un grand projet ce fois si, je vous l'offre comme un outil pour gagner de nouveaux membres pour l'annee 2008-2009.
  Also, the document may be edited, as long as it remains within the Scouting spirit. One suggestion would be to add something about local groups (such as how every year, a group(s) helps with specific community events and charities) to make it more relveant. Additionally, please make sure that the translation is well-done. It was originally translated by Louise, but I made a few changes, and am not guaranteeing accuracy for my translations!
  Si jamais vous avez des questions ou suggestions comment mieu utiliser cet outil, n'hesiter pas de me contacter!
  Take care and enjoy the last few weeks of the summer!
Chris

8th Annual Ohiyo Area WILDERNESS Rescue Camp-November 20-22nd, 2009 This is our Annual Area wide Scout camp open to all Scouts and Venturers in the Ohiyo Area. Expect over 100 participants for the weekend and 30-40 volunteers. We will be running Search & Rescue scenarios on Saturday for Scouts where a Patrol with a Leader will pretend to be on an overnight hike and come across some kind of accident or disaster where they will be required to access and assist or possibly evacuate victims. Debriefings will be done immediately after each scenario with a general debrief after dinner on Saturday night in the Mess Hall which everyone will attend. This is an awesome camp, which is a true test of you and your troops ability to deal with outdoor emergencies and is also a lot of fun for all concerned.
