Dear Badge Traders:

Carleton Area is sponsoring our Second Annual Badge Trading Event to be held from 1:30 P.M. to 4:30 on Sunday 4 March 2012 at the John G. Mlacak Centre (Halls C & D) at 2500 Campeau Drive, Kanata, K2K 2W3, adjacent to Earl of March High School. It is on a drop-in basis, so come out at any time during that time period. This event is intended for Scout level and above, though is open to other Scouting youth interested in badge trading and collecting.

Announcing a great opportunity for leaders in Carleton to get together for fun and fellowship to renew our enthusiasm for the coming season in Scouting. Group Commissioners are invited to bring their leadership teams together to tidy up their particular loose ends in preparation and updating how their Group is ready for the year. Section leaders are to encourage their leadership teams to come together in an outdoor setting, finalize planning and have fun together. This will be the weekend before the fall Registration blitz for many Groups. Some of you plan to or will have brought your teams together in August to get much of the “nuts and bolts” specifics of planning in place, even so, this opportunity is also for you, veterans and new leaders alike. Flexibility is built in, in the hope that as many of us as possible can attend some or all of the planned time together.

This year's theme of "Disaster Zone" has been popular with our Scouting youth.  We currently have 1085 youth and parents registered for this event which is fantastic.  For those who registered by the March 25th deadline, you will receive a T-Shirt with camporee Crest printed on the shirt along with a cool embroidered crest.   This year the registration was set early in order to ensure that the T-shirts and Crests could be ordered in good time.  

Registration is closed.
