About every other month, Prairies Services hosts a live information and instruction session for Group and Area Registrars, Commissioners and other team members involved in recruiting, screening and training of volunteers and registration of participants.
You are listed as a Group or Area team member, so you're invited!
Have you completed Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders?
This important training is required of all volunteers (and Rover Scouts) before the end of the August 2017 and is available through the David Huestis Learning Centre.
Members who have completed Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders for another organization can use the "Import Certificate" feature to share the certification with Scouts Canada.
Please note that Respect in Sport for Parents, Respect in School and Respect in the Workplace do not satisfy our requirement so cannot be accepted.
Beginning in September, Scouts Canada registration will be by online Self-Registration only.
To allow for Group subsidies, third-party payments (example Jumpstart), payment plans and other alternative payment methods, Group Billing Codes are being introduced.
Similar to the process already in place for our LDS Groups, Group Billing Codes will allow parents with special circumstances to make arrangements with the Group then to complete an online registration with a code provided by the Group. The Group will then be invoiced for the National fee amount of that registration.
Group Billing Codes (like LDS Coupon Codes) are available through pat.papineau@scouts.ca for Groups in Chinook, Manitoba, Northern Lights and Saskatchewan Councils.
Codes will only be provided to Groups in good financial standing.
