Scouter Satisfaction Survey
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic our members have been remarkable. It is because of our members, through dedication and resilience, that we have over 1100+ registered youth in Nova Scotia. We are halfway through the 2021 calendar year, and as we continue to plan for the second half, the Nova Scotia Council wants to hear from you! 

We have included a link to the Nova Scotia Council Member Satisfaction Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KWSKQX6. 

This survey is open to all active members. It contains 8 questions and can be completed is 3-5 minutes. The survey will close on July 2nd, 2021.
Thank You Scouters!
Scouting in Nova Scotia would not be what it is without the contributions made by each and every Scouter. The Nova Scotia Council would like to thank all of our amazing volunteers and especially recognize the contributions made all of the following individuals who were recognized with an outstanding service award in 2019! (Next month we will highlight 2020 recipients) Thank you for everything you do to develop Scouts into well-rounded individuals who will be better prepared for success in the world!
Group Support Scouter Opportunity
We are looking for an additional Group Support Scouter (GSS) to join our team. The GSS role is an incredibly important role as they work directly with Group Commissioners to help support them in their roles, and in-turn the group as a whole.

If you are a passionate Scouter, looking to make a real impact within Nova Scotia consider applying by reaching out to our Council Relationship Manager, Justin Dubreuil at justin.dubreuil@scouts.ca.
Welcoming our new Social Media Coordinator
My name is Scouter Donnie and this month marks my fifth year as a Scouter. I started with 3rd Eastern Passage as a Colony Scouter before moving up to Pack and I am now a Troop Scouter with 2nd Eastern Passage. However, my Scouting adventures started many years earlier as a Beaver Scout and Cub Scout in western Newfoundland. 

I have been in the Royal Canadian Air Force for almost 14 years and have had the opportunity to take part in unique outdoor adventures in South and Central America, Europe and Asia. It’s this sense of outdoor adventure that I try to bring to Scouting at home. I enjoy many outdoor activities such as rowing, scuba diving, swimming, hiking and of course…Camping!

My community is more than just where I live, it’s the people that make it great. This is why I also volunteer in other ways such as coaching hockey, soccer and rowing. I assist with Cadet groups through my employment with the RCAF. I am a First Aid Instructor and also a Volunteer Medical Responder with St. John Ambulance so I enjoy bringing emergency skills to pass on to our Scouting Youth.

One of my favorite things about going to camp is when we gather around the camp fire for songs, skits and cheers. I love a good story so if you have one to tell I would love to hear it!
