Remembrance Day 2014

Hi everybody,

I think that all of us have been affected in some way by the terrible tragedies against Canadians in the last few days.  I can think of no greater tribute to those that continue to protect our way of life than to attend a Remembrance Day ceremony.

Should you hear of other events, please do let me know and I'll post them here.

Don't forget that Scouts Canada has a number of great resources for preplanned programming including Jumpstarts.

Beaver Scout Jumpstart - Remembrance Day
Cub Scout Jumpstart - Remembrance Day

And let me finish this blog post with some poignant words as to why Scouting is important to me:
“Let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop among ourselves and our youth, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood, so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men.”
—B.-P. at the First World Jamboree, 1920
