This is a very easy award to attain.  If your section is meeting the program standards your section could earn a pennant for your flag.  I have processed 2 colonies and a pack already this year but I'm sure many more would qualify.

 Check out the prerequisites on the Council website.  Build the qualifications into your program during your planning meeting in September.  Ask a Service Scouter to review the information in March 2010 for processing.  The approval should be complete in time for you to present the award to your section leaders at your year end ceremonies.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has declared the City of Ottawa a place infected with the Emerald Ash Borer.  They are running a campaign that reads:

Don't Move Firewood

Moving firewood, even just a few kilometres away, can spread invasive insects and diseases to our forests.  Buy it locally.  Burn it on site.  Never bring it back home.

p>Early registration for the 2009 - 2010 Scouting year will begin May 4 thru to June 26, 2009. Parents are encouraged to register their youth at this time to avoid the scramble and flurry of activities that happen in the fall as school starts. Registration is open to boys and girls aged 5 to 17.

Carleton Area covers a wide region in Ottawa's west end. To register your youth with a group in your neighbourhood, please contact the appropriate individual below (click on "full story" to display the whole page). Information about the group meeting times and locations can be found by clicking on the links under the Carleton Area Groups on the lefthand side.
