<hr />
<div>Since 2010, we have been having an all-Section winter camp at the Camp Luther A–frame chalet on Mount Seymour at about N 49° 21.423 W 122° 57.042 The parking lot (Overflow Parking Lot P1) is at N 49° 21.533 W 122° 56.935. The cabin is only 250m down a boardwalk / trail that can be very muddy at times. The elevation is about 3000' (915m)<br /><br /><br />
To get to the camp, drive towards Deep Cove on the Mt. Seymour Parkway and turn left (north / uphill) on Mt. Seymour Road. There is a mall at the NW corner of this intersection. Keep going up the hill. It is on the 6th switchback per this [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=49.359448,-122.947894&num=1&t=h&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=23.875,57.630033&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=49.358123,-122.948588&spn=0.003808,0.012349&z=17 google map link]. If you get the ski area, you have gone too far!<br />
<br /><br /><br />
They ask us to park on the north (uphill) side of the parking lot so they can plow the parking lot at night.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
When we pay for the camp, we typically book it for the next year. The camp is booked through Niki Janzen, Guest Groups Manager, Camp Luther, 9311 Shook Road, Mission, BC V2V 7M2, (604) 826-7062, niki@caampluther.ca The cost has been $25.00 per person for the weekend and typically we negotiate a maximum.<br /><br /><br />
This is an easy winter camp because it has dishes, pot and pans, a refrigerator, and an electric stove. The cabin has power and rusty-coloured non-potable running water. There is an outhouse 50’ away. Typically, we have had 50-60 people stay there “comfortably”. There are beds with mattresses so you don't need to bring foamies, but everyone needs to bring a sleeping bag and pillow, etc.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
There are three bunk rooms on the first floor. Beavers typically go on the left and the Cubs go on the right (a one-room separation is a good idea!). The middle one is often for Scouters/parents or overflow for Beavers. Quite a number of the bunks are double bunks and can accommodate two kids or an adult and their child. The left (east) room has 3 double bunks and 2 single bunks and can accommodate 16 people. The right (west) room has 5 double bunks and 3 single bunks and can accommodate 26 people. The centre room has 5 single bunks and can accommodate 10 people.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br /><br /><br />
As for the Cubs, in the past we have had the boys and girls bunk in together and this has not been an issue. The attic has three small rooms with double beds, and the female Scouters usually sleep there. The Scouts, Scout Scouters, Venturers and Venturer Advisors are usually outside in the snow, but if the weather is bad, they can spread out in the main hall area.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
There is a provincial park campsite between the parking lot and the chalet where Scouts and senior Cubs often camp. We booked it in 2019 and used it one year before that but got kicked out because we had not reserved it even though it was empty.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Parents, Scouters, Venturers help with cooking. The water there can be used for washing, but not drinking or cooking, so we need to pack our own in.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Cell phone reception is “available” if you hold your tongue just right and the weather conditions cooperate.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
A good idea is to have cold weather talks in the various Sections the week before the camp. Anyone who hasn’t gone on a winter camp before should have a gear check in the meeting before the camp, not in the parking lot! We don’t want youth showing up with no jacket, only running shoes, no gloves, etc.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Activities:<br />
* Consider designing a patch for the camp. A good source is Zone West. Alternatively, there are winter camping patches available at the Scout Shop. We typically have about 60-70 youth and Scouters attend plus Beaver parents. We don’t give the patches to the parents, so keep this in mind when ordering the patches so we don’t have a pile left over.<br />
* Consider a theme for the camp and coordinate this with the patch.<br />
* Decide on the menu and assign someone to do the shopping. Note that there are blue bins of food in the locker left over from previous camps. Print out and post the menu plan in the kitchen so everyone is aware of the plan and timing.<br />
* In 2015, we booked Coquitlam Search and Rescue to come and do a presentation for us. We sent them $100 donation later.<br />
* An alternative is North Shore Rescue who came in 2016. Their contact details are North Shore Rescue Team Society, 147 East 14th Street, North Vancouver, BC, V7L 2N4, (604) 969-7005, (778) 338-6300, nsr@northshorerescue.com, http://www.northshorerescue.com/. In 2016, we had Tony Sperling ((604) 220-4862 cell) to come Saturday afternoon around 3:00 and he stayed until after campfire. We sent them $100 donation later.<br />
* We have booked the Canadian Planetariums astronomy club to come up with their telescopes to do a talk and then view the stars through their telescopes in the parking lot. They may be reticent to attend since one of them fractured his hip after falling on the ice in the parking lot in 2014. The contact is Bill Burnyeat, Canadian Planetariums Program Manager, (604) 336-3821, Bill@CanadianTelescopes.com<br />
* Tell the kids to bring multiple sets of clothes and sledding equipment. They end up building a toboggan run right beside the cabin so should remember to bring a helmet. <br />
Note that helmets are mandatory per the BP&P.<br />
* For outings, we typically hike back to the parking lot and go up or down the Old Cabin Trail for a ways until we meet the Perimeter Trail, up and around Goldie Lake or Flower Lake, and come out at the upper parking lot, and walk down the road. Alternatively, we can ferry the kids to the upper parking lot and go snowshoeing from there out towards First Lake and Dog Mountain. There is a Scout cabin on the Old Cabin Trail between the parking lot and Perimeter Trail. There are also some old cabins southeast from the parking lot. You can find them if you go down the steep hill across from the parking lot and instead of following the main trail to the northeast, head southeast,.<br />
* The kids like indoor games like card game, crokinole, checkers, cheat, etc. These are good as a break between sledding and hiking.<br />
<br /><br />
Things to remember to do:<br />
* As this is an all-Section camp, one Scouter needs to be assigned to be the Scouter in Charge and complete the [[Forms#Adventure Application Form| Adventure Application Form (AAF)]].<br />
* Make up a Duty Roster, email out (or google drive), and post at the camp. <br />
* Assign camp cook.<br />
* Assign Campfire Chief.<br />
* Assign someone to do Scouts Own on Sunday.<br />
* Bring required paperwork that is listed in the [[Group Gear Packing List - Mount Seymour]].<br />
* Consider a camp theme and coordinate with the patch if one is made.<br />
* Book snowshoes. In the former Coho Area, Darren McCrabb has about 20 pairs for rent for about $5/pr. Email is thecrabbyscouter@gmail.com.<br />
* Assign someone to be first there to unlock and turn the power & water on, and also to be the last to leave after checking things are closed down properly. They need to pick up the key from Andreas Adler at (778) 836-3437 or (778) 227-2752 (cell), 903 Heritage Blvd., North Vancouver (turn right into the townhouse complex and look for 903). They provide a checklist to open and close the cabin. The power it turned on with a key at a panel just around the corner to the left of the main door. The water is turned on with a seriesof valve in the basement directly below the mudroom when you come into the cabin. There is an instruction sheet above the taps (one main valve, one drain valve, and three isolation valves to the three sinks upstairs).<br />
* Bring firewood and kindling. Sometimes there is some there; most often there is not.<br />
* Bring games for indoor play like crokinole, card games, Uno, checkers, chess, etc. A deck of 100 or so miscellaneous playing cards for Cheat is popular, paper for paper airplanes, etc.<br />
* Bring knot book and pieces of rope to practice.<br />
* Consider getting some parents to do some baking for snacks.<br />
* Decide on how much to charge youth and parents (cost for Scouters is covered by the group).<br />
* Bring a song/skit book so we don't have the same ones over and over.<br />
* Decide on an activity plan – each Section is responsible for their own Section activities – projects or crafts, hikes, snowshoeing, etc.<br />
* There is quite a bit of gear to bring from the locker or bring from home. Assign someone to go to the locker and pack the trailer - see [[Group Gear Packing List - Mount Seymour]].<br />
Everyone brings:<br />

<div>== What is Discord? ==<br />
<br />
Discord is a chat platform. If you've used something like Slack or Microsoft Teams at work, you'll find Discord similar. Individual communities can create their own “servers” which they have full control over, similar to a “forum”, and invite other users to it.<br />
<br />
You can be a member of multiple servers at one time. Servers are shown in the Discord app as icons in the sidebar. The icon for the 12th New West server looks like our necker.<br />
<br />
== Joining the Discord ==<br />
<br />
The 12th New West Discord server is private, meaning that you need an invitation link to join. If you need an invitation, ask another Scouter in your section, a member of the Group Committee, or email discord@newwestscouts.ca.<br />
<br />
Before you can join the Discord, you need a Discord account. If you don't already have one, you'll be prompted to create one when you join the server.<br />
<br />
Discord has apps for mobile and desktop, and a web client. Visit https://discord.com to download Discord for your preferred platforms.<br />
<br />
When you join Discord, you'll be prompted to choose a username. This is your default username on all servers that you join; however, you can change your display name on a per-server basis. '''One of the rules of the 12th New Westminster server is that everyone must use their real name in some form'''; it can be your full name, Scouter Jane, or John D. To change your name on the 12th New West server:<br />
<br />
* On mobile: tap the "you" icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap '''Edit Profile'''. Tap '''Server Profiles''' at the top of the screen, and then change your '''Server Nickname'''.<br />
* On desktop: click your name at the bottom of the screen, under the channel list. Click '''Edit Profile'''. Click '''Server Profiles''' at the top of the screen, and then change your '''Server Nickname'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Server Rules ==<br />
<br />
The rules for the server as of 2025-03-09 are as follows. The current rules are always available in the Server Guide, located at the top of the channel list.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: There are youth members present in the server (e.g. Venturers). The two-scouter rule applies at all times, including in online communication.'''<br />
<br />
# You must be an active member of the 12th New Westminster Scout Group <br />
# You For adult Scouters: the Scouts Canada Code of Conduct and all other Scouts Canada policies are in effect at all times. This includes the two-Scouter rule; you must not have one-on-one contact with a youth member on this server. <br />
# For all members: remember the Scout Law: A Scout is helpful and trustworthy, kind and cheerful, considerate and clean, and wise in the use of all resources. <br />
# Use your real name as your server nickname so we can know the real you. If you don't change your name the moderation team may be forced to remove you from the server. We encourage including your pronouns in your server nickname. <br />
# If you see something against the rules or something that makes you feel unsafe, let the admins know. We want this server to be a welcoming space! <br />
<br />
== User Roles ==<br />
<br />
When you join the server, you will be walked through an on-boarding process that will ask you some questions, including what section(s) you are a member of. Your answers to these questions will determine what "roles" you have in the server. Roles serve a couple of purposes:<br />
<br />
* Roles can control access to private channels, and be used to grant certain privileges.<br />
* You can "mention" all users with the same role, such as "@Pack A Scouters". When you do this, all users with that role will receive a notification.<br />
<br />
== Categories and Channels ==<br />
<br />
A Discord server can be organized into channels to keep discussions on-topic and organized. Similar channels can be grouped into "categories".<br />
<br />
Channels can be public, meaning that anyone can see and post in them, or private, which only users with certain roles can access.<br />
<br />
=== Section Categories and Channels ===<br />
<br />
Each section has a Category (Colony A, Pack B, Troop A, etc). Within each section category, there are two default channels<br />
<br />
* The section "lobby" (e.g. #colony-a-lobby, etc). These are public channels that anyone can post in. The intent is for these to act as way for Scouters in other sections to talk to a specific section.<br />
* A private #general channel, restricted to the appropriate section role (e.g. the Pack B #general channel is only visible to people with the "Pack B Scouter" role.<br />
<br />
Anyone with the "Scouter" role can create new channels, so create as many as you like for whatever purposes you need; for example, if you have an upcoming camp, create a channel just for that camp, and archive it when done.<br />
<br />
=== Other Categories and Channels ===<br />
<br />
In addition to the section categories, there are a few others:<br />
<br />
*'''Group Committee''': this has a '''#general''' channel for regular Group Committee discussion, and a '''#gc-meetings''' "voice" channel. Voice channels are channels where members can talk via voice, video, and screen sharing. The #gc-meetings channel can be used to host online Group Committee meetings.<br />
*'''Scouters' Club''': restricted to those with the "Scouter" role. This has '''#the-campfire''', a general chat channel, and #pics, a "forum" type channel where you can create individual posts and attach media such as pictures and videos.<br />
*'''Group Events''': this is where we can create channels for whole-group events, like Hyack, all-section camps, etc<br />
*'''Administration''': channels related to the server itself, including one for '''#introductions''', '''#suggestions''', and '''#support'''<br />
<br />
== Notifications ==<br />
<br />
Discord offers pretty fine-grained control over your notifications. You can change your notification settings per-channel and per-category. For a more WhatsApp/Signal/group chat experience, you can enable notifications for every message in certain categories or channels.</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Discord&diff=1368Discord2025-03-10T03:10:45Z<p>Grahamb: </p>

<div>== What is Discord? ==<br />
<br />
Discord is a chat platform. If you've used something like Slack or Microsoft Teams at work, you'll find Discord similar. Individual communities can create their own “servers” which they have full control over, similar to a “forum”, and invite other users to it.<br />

The rules for the server as of 2025-03-09 are as follows. The current rules are always available in the Server Guide, located at the top of the channel list.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE: There are youth members present in the server (e.g. Venturers). The two-scouter rule applies at all times, including in online communication.'''<br />
<br />
# You must be an active member of the 12th New Westminster Scout Group <br />
# You For adult Scouters: the Scouts Canada Code of Conduct and all other Scouts Canada policies are in effect at all times. This includes the two-Scouter rule; you must not have one-on-one contact with a youth member on this server. <br />
# For all members: remember the Scout Law: A Scout is helpful and trustworthy, kind and cheerful, considerate and clean, and wise in the use of all resources. <br />
# Use your real name as your server nickname so we can know the real you. If you don't change your name the moderation team may be forced to remove you from the server. We encourage including your pronouns in your server nickname. <br />
# If you see something against the rules or something that makes you feel unsafe, let the admins know. We want this server to be a welcoming space! <br />
<br />
== User Roles ==<br />
<br />
When you join the server, you will be walked through an on-boarding process that will ask you some questions, including what section(s) you are a member of. Your answers to these questions will determine what "roles" you have in the server. Roles serve a couple of purposes:<br />
<br />
* Roles can control access to private channels, and be used to grant certain privileges.<br />
* You can "mention" all users with the same role, such as "@Pack A Scouters". When you do this, all users with that role will receive a notification.<br />
<br />
== Categories and Channels ==<br />
<br />
A Discord server can be organized into channels to keep discussions on-topic and organized. Similar channels can be grouped into "categories".<br />
<br />
Channels can be public, meaning that anyone can see and post in them, or private, which only users with certain roles can access.<br />
<br />
=== Section Categories and Channels ===<br />
<br />
Each section has a Category (Colony A, Pack B, Troop A, etc). Within each section category, there are two default channels<br />
<br />
* The section "lobby" (e.g. #colony-a-lobby, etc). These are public channels that anyone can post in. The intent is for these to act as way for Scouters in other sections to talk to a specific section.<br />
* A private #general channel, restricted to the appropriate section role (e.g. the Pack B #general channel is only visible to people with the "Pack B Scouter" role.<br />
<br />
Anyone with the "Scouter" role can create new channels, so create as many as you like for whatever purposes you need; for example, if you have an upcoming camp, create a channel just for that camp, and archive it when done.<br />
<br />
=== Other Categories and Channels ===<br />
<br />
In addition to the section categories, there are a few others:<br />
<br />
*'''Group Committee''': this has a '''#general''' channel for regular Group Committee discussion, and a '''#gc-meetings''' "voice" channel. Voice channels are channels where members can talk via voice, video, and screen sharing. The #gc-meetings channel can be used to host online Group Committee meetings.<br />
*'''Scouters' Club''': restricted to those with the "Scouter" role. This has '''#the-campfire''', a general chat channel, and #pics, a "forum" type channel where you can create individual posts and attach media such as pictures and videos.<br />
*'''Group Events''': this is where we can create channels for whole-group events, like Hyack, all-section camps, etc<br />
*'''Administration''': channels related to the server itself, including one for '''#introductions''', '''#suggestions''', and '''#support'''<br />
<br />
== Notifications ==<br />
<br />
Discord offers pretty fine-grained control over your notifications. You can change your notification settings per-channel and per-category. For a more WhatsApp/Signal/group chat experience, you can enable notifications for every message in certain categories or channels.</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Bottle_Drive&diff=1358Bottle Drive2024-12-06T04:57:25Z<p>Grahamb: </p>
<hr />
<div>==What?==<br />
We typically have two bottle drives a year and all Sections participate. The one just after New Years goes towards general revenue and the one in the spring one typically goes towards a Jamboree Fund for the next Provincial or Canadian Jamboree. The spring one is usually managed by the Scouts and is smaller as not all Sections necessarily participate.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Flyers are distributed door to door a week or so ahead of the pickup. They typically ask residents to put out a bag with the flyer taped to it.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We meet at the City Works Yard and each vehicle takes a route and a couple of kids. It is very important to knock on every door and explain that you are collecting bottles and cans for Scouts. Even though we distribute the flyers, most of the people ignore the flyer or forget to put out a bag of cans. Some people even make a cash donation on the spot and often collect $50-$100 cash donations.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The bottles are returned to the parking lot where a team sorts them into large bins – alcohol vs. non-alcohol. As the bins of bottle are extremely heavy, it is good to sort bottles vs. cans also. The Sapperton Return-It Depot supplies the bins, picks them up, counts them and gives us a cheque for a nominal fee of about $100. We usually collect enough bottles to fill in the order of 20-25 bins, though in Jan 2017, we managed 29 bins in one day. In the past we have used other companies with no fee, but you need to sort all the items by type and count them into bags. It takes forever and the nominal fee is well worth it!<br />
==Where?==<br />
On Saturday, the sorting occurs in the parking lot of the City Works Yard. On both Saturday and Sunday, we used to have a small team at the Canada Games Pool Parking lot (near the firehall) collecting and sorting.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To book the City Works Yard, contact the city. We tyipcally ask for a grant for multiple parking lot uses though the year, so there is no cost.<br />
==Return-It Depot==<br />
Tracie Sung is the manager at the Sapperton Return-It Depot. Her email is rmrc200@yahoo.com or she can be reached at main number at (604) 523-9699 or (604) 619-7375 cell. Ray also has worked at the Sapperton Return-It Depot for a long time and he normally drives the truck that does our pick-ups and drop-offs. His cell number is (778) 788-9200.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We need to contact them early in the year, as one year our preferred date was unavailable when we left the decision until late November. It is suggested that we confirm with them as soon as we decide on a date, certainly by September.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Get them to drop off at least 30 bins and at least 15 pallets at 9:00AM on Saturday. Get them to come and collect the bins any time after 3:00PM on Saturday and Sunday. If we continue on Sunday, we can put the bins and pallets for Sunday in the trailer and leave the locked trailer in the Canada Games Pool parking lot overnight.<br />
<br />
==Return-it Express==<br />
We have set up an account with Return-It Express where you can drop a bag of bottles and cans off and it will be credited to the 12th New Westminster Scouting Group’s Account. This works at any Return-It Express location in B.C.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Simply pack your returnables in a clear plastic bag, go into any Return-It Depot with the Express option, use the phone number 604-512-4130 at the kiosk, print out the label(s) and drop off the bags.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They will count the bottles and cans, and give us a full refund for them.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Sapperton location (79 Braid Street) and Queensborough (409 Boyne Street) are the two New Westminster location with the Express option. There is also one on the north side of Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam just west of IKEA at 1045A Lougheed Highway.<br />
==Firefighters==<br />
For the last number of years, we have teamed up with the Firefighters and we collect bottles at their Christmas Tree shredding day in the Canada Games Pool parking lot from 10-3. There are not as many bottles collected at this as the regular drive (maybe six bins over 2 days). We need an adult and two youth to attend both Saturday and Sunday. We need to coordinate with the Firefighters for space there and also to piggyback on the advertising.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The contact we have used at the Fire Fighters is Alasdair Dunbar, adunbar@newwestcity.ca, (778) 384-2491 and Glen Bailey, gbailey@newwestcity.ca, (604) 617-6752. In mid-November, make contact and confirm that we will be there. The absolute deadline is Dec 15th.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They expect that we will be available and participating for both days and they really like to have youth, especially Beavers and Cubs, assisting with the donation collection. When the kids hold the boot, they tend to get more cash for the firefighters. The youth are NOT to touch the money in the boots. When we set this arrangement up, the firefighters insisted that Scouts only collect bottles and that we don't accept cash donations at the event. We have complied with that every year. <br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
If the firefighters require that they receive a copy of Scouts insurance certificate, we need to have this sent from the Scout head office. The Group Commissioner will deal with this.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
On the day of the event, usually, you need to have someone get set up around 9:00 a.m. on Saturday mornings and the event closes down around 3:00 p.m. On Sunday, no need to get there until 10:00 a.m. Same 3:00 p.m. finish. Ask parents to sign up for 2-3 hour shifts for the Sunday event. We don't normally ask for sign-ups on the Saturday, as everyone comes and leaves at a random times until the routes are complete.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The firefighters have told us in the past that anyone who works at the event, kids included, is welcome to free hot dogs and pop. There is no expectation that they give a donation. This isn't always the case though.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
On Sunday, we often don’t get many bottles, and we have found that simply bringing the Scout trailer and parking it there for the day and hauling the bottles to the Sapperton Return-It Depot directly is the easiest solution. In Jan 2017, we asked them to come and pick up bins from the Canada Games Pool parking lot as on Saturday there were more than expected and we had to ferry bins back and forth to the School which was a pain. We filled 4.5 bins on Sunday, so it is worth getting the Depot to come pick them up.<br />
==Advertising==<br />
Need to coordinate what routes we are doing and estimate the number of flyers to print. At Staples, 1100 double sided prints on coloured paper (3 flyers/sheet) costs in the order of $75.00.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The flyers should be delivered door to door by our volunteers (typically Scouts, Venturers and Scouters). We have distributed the flyers via Canada Post a few times, but it is quite expensive. A few kids with their parents can cover a lot area quickly.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We need to coordinate with the firefighters to piggyback on their advertising (if we are doing this).<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Consider contacting the Record to get into the City Pages. Email calendar@newwestrecord.ca<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Consider calling the City’s main number and ask for the person to put advertising on the sign at 6th and McBride. It is free. We ask them to keep our information up from Dec. 1 to the event and they are usually fine with that.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To put an ad in the City Page, email Ashleigh Young at ayoung@newwestcity.ca or (604) 527-4559. Example wording is:<br />
I'm writing with information about the 12th New Westminster Scouts bottle drive planned for Jan. xx and xx, 20xx. Could you please add this information to the City calendar on the City Website and the City Page?<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
January x and xx, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.<br /><br />
Location: Canada Games Pool Parking Lot<br /><br />
12th New Westminster Scouts Bottle Drive<br /><br />
Start the New Year by clearing out your holiday bottles and cans. Bring them with your Christmas tree to the New West Firefighters' Fire Safety Festival or for pickup, emailscoutsbottlepickup@live.ca. Your donation of returnables will help Scouts continue to bring adventure, outdoor experience and friendship to New Westminster youth.<br /><br />
Thank you!<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Next bottle drive to do:<br />
* Review the route maps and ensure the entire neighbourhoods are covered.<br />
* Create route maps for any missing areas.<br />
* Count the houses per route map so we know how many flyers are required.<br />
<br />
Need someone to organize the event. This includes the following:<br />
* Contact the Sapperton Return-It Depot and book date many months in advance.<br />
* Send a common email to all Section leaders to distribute. This shoudl be done by ScoutTracker.<br />
* Coordinate with the firefighters and coordinate advertising (if applicable).<br />
* Book the City Works yard.<br />
* Request insurance from the Scout office if required by the Fire Fighters or by the City.<br />
=* Decide which routes we are doing. In 2015/16 and Jan 2017, we decide on Glenbrook North, Massey Victory Heights, and Kelvin North. This worked well in 2017. In the past we have not had much luck with Queens Park or Sapperton.<br />
* Make a copy the maps to distribute flyers. We have laminated ones in the locker to do the bottle pickup.<br />
* Organize for advertising in the newspaper City Pages.<br />
* Organize for advertising on the City calendar.<br />
* Design and print the flyers<br />
* Coordinate door-to-door flyer delivery. This is often done by the Scouts and Venturers.<br />
Someone to bring items from the locker for the main bottle drive:<br />

<hr />
<div>At the Kub Kar Rally, the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts race their Beaver Buggies, Kub Kars and Scout Trucks to see whose vehicle is the fastest and best designed. We race the cars down a ~15m long track and eventually award trophies for the winners and Best in Show. The overall event takes 3-4 hours. We typically run the Scout trucks first, followed by Kub Kars, and then Beaver Buggies. As such, it would be optimal for Troop Scouters to bring the track and gear from the locker, and have Beaver Scouters return it.<br />
<br />
If required, the facility registration form must be filled in and sent to the Scout Office for approval. They may also required a copy of the Scouts Canada insurance which can be provided by the Scout Office. In the past, it has been held at various malls and the New Westminster Quay. In 2019 and 2020, we held it in the Royal Centre Mall at 6th and 6th in an alcove near the Walmart and it worked out very well. With Covid, we started using the Bandshell in Queens Park.<br />
<br />
As with all Scouting events, everyone attends in full uniform.<br />
<br />
The Group covers the cost of the kits, trophies and participant patches, all of which can be purchased from the Scout Shop. Note that the Scout Shop does not have trophies for Beaver Buggies, so typically someone buys some trophies from a loonie store and adds ribbons, etc.<br />
<br />
Individual trophies are awarded for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best in Show for Beavers, Kub Kars and Scout Trucks. In addition, there are large trophies for the first place [[Awards#Beaver Buggy Trophy|Beaver]], [[Awards#Kub Kar Trophy|Cub]] and [[Awards#Scout Truck Trophy|Scout]] that get awarded and held by the winner for a year.<br />
<br />
For Beavers, the Beaver Buggies can be assembled and decorated all in one meeting. For Cubs and Scouts, it takes longer. The kids design, cut out, and partially assemble their vehicles in one meeting, and then take them home to finish assembling, painting, decorating, etc. At the next meeting, we weigh the vehicles and practice running them on the track in preparation for the Rally.<br />
<br />
Weight limits are 142 grams for Kub Kars and 1200 grams for Scout Trucks. There is no limit for Beaver buggies and because wood is not cut off, no weights should be added other than decoration.<br />
<br />
These is a size limitation - vehicles can't be too wide as it interferes with adjacent tracks, and they can't be too high as they may hit the finish line sensor.<br />
<br />
The tracks take time to set up, so some Scouters need to get there early. The new yellow plastic track has a lot of hardware and wiring, so takes time to assemble and to pack away. There is an old track that is good for Beaver Buggies and Kub Kars only. The newer (and longer) track was good for Beaver Buggies, Kub Kars and the Scout Trucks but was water damaged. The 7/16” bolts for the Knox track is kept in a red plastic coffee can with the track. There is also a weight to hold the starting end down. We typically only set up one track at the Rally, but have brought both in the past.<br />
<br />
A few weeks after the Rally, there is often a wider area Kub Kar Rally and we have sent our top 3 Cubs and top 3 Scouts. Other groups use it as their only race day, so there are often hundreds of kids that come and it take a LONG time! The registration deadline is at the end of February, so as soon as we know our top finishers, we need to register. The entry cost is covered by the Group, leadership ratio is required on the day, and an [[Forms#Adventure Application Form| Adventure Application Form (AAF)]] is not required.<br />
<br />
To assemble the Kars and Trucks in a meeting, remember to do the following:<br />
* The first meeting is for kids assembling their cars. Bring a band saw, scroll saw, hammers, glue guns, flathead screwdriver, files, sandpaper, extension cords, etc. Some kids will have the cars completely done already, so other activities will need to be planned.<br />
* The second meeting is tuning. Bring the saws again as there is always a last minute problem. For tuning, you need a glue gun, weights, silicone spray lubricant, the scale (normally kept in the locker or at Glenbrook Middle School r in the locker), and to set up the track.<br />
* If we plan to attend the Coho Area races, we need to consider what type of lubricant to use as they may not allow (graphite or spray lubricant) at those races. Lately everyone has used silcone spray lubricant.<br />
* Our Group standard is to use silicone spray lubricant, not graphite as graphite is messy on the track.<br />
<br />
Before the Rally, remember to do the following:<br />
* Book a place for the Rally. Do this a few months before or you will find the venue has been booked by someone else. Note that the paperwork and insurance takes a while to sort out.<br />
* At a Group Committee meeting, plan the event, including determine the times that people need to be there (some need to be there early to set up the track).<br />
* Establish a plan for running both Colonies. In 2019, we ran the Queens buggies and determined 1/2/3 and then ran the Knox buggies and determined 1/2/3 and then had a runoff for top trophy. In 2020, we ran it as one huge group and this took a long time.<br />
* Tell parents exactly when and where to show up via the ScoutsTracker event.<br />
* Go to the Scout Shop and buy the following items. Sections should work together to determine quantities. Note that there are often leftover vehicles and participant patches from previous years.<br />
** Sufficient Beaver Buggies, Kub Kars and Scout trucks for all participants. Can be purchased from the Scout Shop.<br />
** 7 trophies (1st, 2nd, 3rd for each Colony, plus one best in show) for Beaver Buggies. Kub and Scout trophies can be purchased from the Scout Shop.<br />
** 4 trophies (1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best in Show) for Kub Kars.<br />
** 4 trophies (1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best in Show) for Scout Trucks.<br />
** Participant patches (Beavers, Cubs and Scouts) from the Scout Shop.<br />
* Prelabel the trophies with 1/2/3/BIS labels with masking tape. We will get them engraved later.<br />
* Get the first place [[Awards#Beaver Buggy Trophy|Beaver Buggy Trophy]], [[Awards#Kub Kar Trophy|Kub Kar Trophy]] and [[Awards#Scout Truck Trophy|Scout Truck Trophy]] back from the last year’s winners.<br />
* Check the track(s) and determine if any maintenance is required.<br />
<br />
On the day of the Rally, remember to bring the following from the locker:<br />
* The track - it is stored in a large wooden crate and is quite long and heavy. The hardware and tools required to assemble the track are located inside the crate, as is the timing gate.<br />
* First aid kit.<br />
* Scale from the locker.<br />
* Extension cords from the locker.<br />
* Paper towel to mop up extra spray lubricant.<br />
* 10x10 pop up tent either for the rain or the shade the timing finish line sensor from the sun.<br />
* Section flags.<br />
* Wooden round to hold the flags from the locker.<br />
<br />
and the following from home:<br />
<br />
* Trophies and participant patches.<br />
* Extra hot glue guns.<br />
* Hammer.<br />
* Spray lubricant.<br />
* Utility knife<br />
* Pliers.<br />
* Scissors.<br />
* Screwdriver - flathead and #2 Robertson.<br />
* Masking tape, sharpies to label the buggies, kars and trucks.<br />
* Blank paper and pens to write down the entries.<br />
* Cordless drill and drill bits to fix the Scout Trucks.<br />
* Extra dowling and screws in case the track release mechanism breaks. Consider replacing mechanism with bolts for durability.<br />
* Laptop with race software ([https://derbymagic.com/race-management/ Derby Magic]) to track the races.<br />
* Powerbar.<br />
* Computer monitor or projector with screen to display results. There is a screen in the basement at Knox.<br />
* Tables and chairs<br />
* Scout literature that we can hand out to people interested in the Scouting program.<br />
<br />
During the Rally, we need a number of people to be involved as follows:<br />
* Note that the software cannot handle late entrants.<br />
* Assemble the track on its side and with the help of at least 4 adults, carefully lift it in once piece and set it down.<br />
* One Scouter needs to be in charge of the computer and running the race software.<br />
* One Scouter needs to weigh and sign in the vehicles, write down the names and affix a number to the vehicle. Once the entire Section has been signed in, the names are entered into the software.<br />
* One Scouter should be the pit crew to repair vehicles as required.<br />
* After each Section race is done, the Section Scouter should immediately present the trophies and participation patches. Don't wait until all Sections races are complete as people may want to leave earlier.<br />
<br />
After the Rally, remember to do the following:<br />
* Clean up the site.<br />
* Return all equipment to the locker or wherever else it came from.<br />
* Take the plates from all the trophies (1st/2nd/3rd/Best in Show individual trophies and also the larger trophies) and have them engraved with year and recipient names, to present to the winners at a future meeting. For the last few years, we have taken them to Imperial Trophies at #180 - 5489 Byrne Rd., Burnaby.</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Human_Foosball&diff=1316Human Foosball2024-04-07T18:27:56Z<p>Grahamb: </p>
<hr />
<div>The Human Foosball station is a great activity that takes about 1.5 hours to assemble and then is largely self-running. It is set up for ~12 players but this is very flexible.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
It is a good station to offer for [[Cuboree]], [[Beaveree]], etc, and is also used for [[Hyack Camp]]<br />
<br />
==Play instructions==<br />
* About 12 kids split into two teams and play Foosball on a large scale.<br />
* Get the kids facing the right direction - they alternate direction of play per the sketch (team 1 goalie, team 2 strikers, team 1 midfielders, team 2 midfielders, team 1 strikers, team 2 goalie).<br />
* The players must hold the pipes and they can move side to side, but not front to back.<br />
* Return the ball to the centre when a goal is scored.<br />
<br />
==Assembly instructions==<br />
===Get the following material from the locker:===<br />
* 20x steel fence posts.<br />
* 2x 50’ lengths of snow fencing.<br />
* 12x 3’ pieces of rebar.<br />
* Six pieces of white pipe in 3’, 5’ and 7’ lengths.<br />
* Steel post pounder.<br />
* Yellow bag with the following:<br />
** Zap straps.<br />
** 12x orange rebar caps.<br />
** Six 33’ lengths of rope.<br />
** Workgloves<br />
** Soccer balls.<br />
** Spare rope.<br />
** Roll of electrical tape to tape the pipes together for storage.<br />
** Knife to cut the zap straps.<br />
<br />
===Borrow the following from Geoff===<br />
* Sledgehammer.<br />
<br />
===Assembly===<br />
* Lay out a rectangular area, spacing the steel fence posts one post length apart. This results in a playing area that is about 18'x40'. Use one of the ropes to keep the fence posts in line.<br />
* Drive all posts in with a post pounder. Don't go too deep or they can be hard to pull out.<br />
* Roll out the snow fencing and zap strap to the goal posts. Then zap strap to all the rest of the posts. Keep the fencing low to the ground so the ball doesn't escape during play.<br />
* Using the sledgehammer, drive the pieces of rebar in at a 45 degree angle. Line them up with the adjacent fence posts.<br />
* Add rebar caps for safety.<br />
* Tie the ropes to the rebar with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_turn_and_two_half-hitches round turn and two half hitches]. Run the line up to the top of the adjacent fence post and add a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clove_hitch clove hitch].<br />
* Feed the rope through the lengths of pipe (note the three different lengths of pipe: short for goalie, middle for strikers and long for midfielders).<br />
* Add another clove hitch at the opposite fencepost and tighten the rope so the pipes don’t sag too much.<br />
* Add a bight like an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_loop Alpine Butterfly] and use a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trucker%27s_hitch Trucker’s Hitch] to allow you to tighten the ropes during the day.<br />

Coho Area has a large 10'x20' tent that we use for Hyack Camp. As the Blue Mountain Scout Hall has an unknown future, it is currently stored at Geoff's house.<br />
<br />
==Quartermaster Plea==<br />
Please bring the gear back in as good or better shape than you took it. If something is in need of repair, please repair it if you can, purchase a replacement, or alert the Group via the Group Committee.<br />
<br />
Some particular things of note when using the Group gear:<br />
* Return the gear to the shelf where you found it (the shelves are numbered). It may not look like it, but there is some organization to the locker.<br />
* When parking the trailer, please push the trailer to the back of the spot to maximize the space to back in and hook up to the trailer.<br />
* The tents need to be cleaned out (shake the dirt out) and dried thoroughly after use. They do not need to be washed but they can be hosed down if they are particularly dirty. Do not put them back wet!<br />
* The tents need to each be supplied with adequate tent pegs. As you are packing the tents up after camp, inspect and count the pegs. There is a small black and yellow toolbox with a pile of pegs to choose from if some need replacement. The orange tents require 10 straight tent pegs and the new grey/blue ones need 15. Don’t shove the poles down the outside of the tent bag as this rips the bag.<br />
* The tarps and groundsheets need to be hosed off, dried, and folded neatly. The huge wooden box is good to store the large tarps and the light blue rubbermaid tub is good for the smaller groundsheets.<br />
* Check things like toolboxes, cutlery kits, etc. to make sure they are not wet. If required, take them home, clean them and dry them thoroughly.<br />
* The pop-up shelter tops and wallsneed to be dried, folded neatly and put back into the pocket on the sides of the shelter bags (roofs) or duffel bags (walls). Some of the shelter roofs are specific to a particular shelter, so take care to return them to the proper place.<br />
* The coolers need to be washed out, dried and put back on the shelf with a piece of wood propping the top open to allow air to circulate.<br />
* The water jugs need to be drained, white tops removed, and stacked on the shelf with the open end facing out to allow air to circulate.<br />
* The pots and pans need to be cleaned and returned. Often this involves a run through the dishwasher at home.<br />
* The white wash tubs should be cleaned and returned. Often they are very greasy after a camp.<br />
* The stoves need to be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Consider taking them home for a good clean. It is no fun to open a stove at a camp that is gross from a previous camp.<br />
* Dish cloths and towels must be taken home to wash after a camp and returned clean and dry.<br />
* The metal Venturer Company box, and the four wooden Scout Patrol boxes are (at least they should be) pre-packed with everything the Scouts and Venturers need when they go to a camp. The boxes can be borrowed for the Beaver and Cub Sections and there should also be enough other gear in the locker (stoves, pots, utensils, knives, cutting boards, wash tubs, etc.) for any addition needs. If there is something in the Patrol boxes that you need to borrow, please return it to the Patrol Box after use.<br />
* The propane tanks should be assessed and re-filled if needed. The Propane Depot at 3390 Lake City Way off of Lougheed Highway in Burnaby only charges for what they put in the tank rather than a set fee like the thieves at the Husky over the fence from the storage locker.<br />
* '''Please don't store loose food in the locker'''. We do have some food stored in the locker (leftovers from camps) and it must be sealed in rubbermaid bins or coolers and not left out for the mice.<br />
* If there is any broken gear, it needs to be repaired or identified by writing the issue with a marker on green painter's tape (available in the locker) and emailing the quartermaster. The last thing anyone wants to do is get to camp and have broken poles or no pegs in a tent. The poles are straight forward to fix as we have a number of extra loose pieced that can be cut down and used.<br />
<br />
==Trailers ==<br />
We have two trailers – an enclosed box utility trailer and a canoe trailer that holds 6 canoes.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The canoe trailer is a home-made trailer with a 2” ball that can hold 6 canoes. It is currently stored at Todd's house.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The utility trailer is a Wells Cargo model RF581 that is about 8' long and 5' wide, with a 2” ball, and the curb weight is 790lb. It does not have a wheel at the front and is really heavy to move by hand. It is currently stored at Rob's house.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The insurance is under Scouts Canada’s fleet insurance and is therefore due on the fleet renewal date of August 31st. The trailers are in Scouts Canada’s name and therefore they get the renewal forms, not the Group. In August, the renewal forms are mailed to the Group Commissioner by the Scout Office. They can also provide a letter indicating that the Group Commissioner has the signing authority to sign for and renew the insurance.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Insurance papers for the utility trailer are kept in the trailer and the insurance papers for the canoe trailer are kept in a threaded pipe on the tongue of the trailer.<br />
<br />
==Storage Locker ==<br />
We have quite a bit of gear in a storage locker.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2016, we moved the gear to a 10’x15’ interior storage locker at the Public Storage facility at 94 Braid Street. The site is accessible from 5:00am to 10:00pm daily. The locker number is G902 in the building directly across the lane from where the trailers are. It is on the top floor near the southeast corner.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The access code must be entered at the gate even if it is already open. The code is tied to an alarm on the individual locker space. If you don't enter the code and you follow someone in, an alarm will likely go off when you enter the locker, and the gate keypad chastises you as you exit.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The gear in the locker includes:<br />
* Camping gear (lanterns, tents, four 10’x10’ pop-up shelters, white light-weight and green heavy-weight shelter sides for the shelters for use on winter or wet camps, 3 large and one small light weight (aluminum) tables, 1 large folding table, about a dozen water jugs, 2 spare sleeping bags, etc.).<br />
* Tents as follows:<br />
** three "2"-person MEC Tarn 2 tents (good for Scouters).<br />
** two "3"-person MEC Tarn-3 tents (good for Scouters as there is no way these would fit three kids). They are appropriate for one person comfortably, two a bit tight (wtih some gear in the vestibule), or three people from the MEC marketing department.<br />
** five or six Infinity Sports Eiger 3 (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs) These are a bit fiddly as you need extra poles and guy-lines to hold the vestibule.<br />
** fourteen Eureka El Capitan 3 (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs).<br />
** about fifteen new grey/blue tents that are slightly bigger than the El Capitan 3s (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs).<br />
* Groundsheets for the tents<br />
* Cooking gear (coolers, pots and pans, propane & white gas single & multi-burner stoves, etc.).<br />
* Propane trees for connecting lanterns and stoves to a 20lb tank.<br />
* Four burner stove in a stainless steel case. Don't forget the large black hose with the quick connect.<br />
* Gear for winter camps (1 and 2-burner propane heaters, 3 snow shovels)<br />
* Paddling gear for the canoes (canoe dolly, PFDs, paddles, bailers, throw ropes, whistles, painters (bow and stern ropes), etc.).<br />
* Miscellaneous other gear (axe, saws, some firewood, etc.).<br />
* Event gear (apple day boxes, signs and cans, wooden spars for the banner when used in a parade, reindeer for the Christmas Parade, torches, etc.).<br />
* Patrol boxes (four wooden Scout boxes and 1 metal Venturer box) that are prepacked with gear.<br />
* Propane tanks are kept in the box trailer, not the locker. There are at two 20lb ones and several small green ones.<br />
* Inflatable boat with oars.<br />
* White pipes holding four bows and dozens of arrows.<br />
* Thermal sheets to have under sleeping bags as extra insulation in the winter.<br />
* Several sleeping bags that be be brought as extras to camps or lent out to families for the Scouting year.<br />
* Several older backpacks that can be lent out to families for the Scouting year.<br />
==Groundsheets==<br />
There is a blue rubbermaid tub in the locker with a bunch of groundsheets in it. There is a roll of poly that can be cut down for groundsheets or they can be made out of old tarps.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A groundsheet for the orange tents should measure 84" x 75". Don't go higher than 84" as this is the maximum width of the tents. If you want a bit of groundsheet in the vestibule, you can increase the 75" dimension.<br />
==Folding the orange tents==<br />
The orange tents are not square and there is an easy way to get them packed up and a hard way. This is the easy way.<br />
* Fold the tent in half lengthways with the doors at the ends. Lay it down and fold again lengthways. As you deal with the fly, the air will escape through the doors. If you folded it wrong, they air won't escape and you will end up with a balloon that won't go in the bag.<br />
* Take the fly and grasp two of the pole straps with one hand and the two door tabs with the other hand. Your partner should do the same. You have just folded the fly in half. Come together and one person hands the straps to the other person. The other person gathers the loose end. You have now neatly folded the fly into a quarter of of the original size.<br />
* Lay the fly on top of the now-flat tent with the straight edge of the fly along the tent edge. Fold the excess fly to fit on top of the tent.<br />
* Put the pole bag and the peg bag (with the correct number of straight pegs) on the top at one end.<br />
* Start rolling from the end that will allow air to escape from the other end of the fly as you are rolling. If you start from the end with the straps, you will end up with a balloon that won't go in the bag.<br />
* Put some weight into it and roll slowly and tightly. Youth can do this in pairs to get a nice tight roll.<br />
* Have someone hold the bag and slip the tent into the bag.<br />
* Don't jam the tent poles and pegs on the outside of the tent/fly roll as this can tear the tent bag.<br />
==Assembling the Tarn-3 tents==<br />
* The bent pole goes yellow-to-yellow, and the straight poles go from red-to-red and black-to-black - it doesn't matter which straight pole goes between which colours.<br />
* There are three poles. One pole has a bend in the middle, which goes at the peak of the tent. The pole with the bend in it goes side-to-side between the yellow straps and uses the yellow clips. The straight poles go diagonally end-to-end. One goes between red straps using red clips and the other goes between black straps using black clips.<br />
* The fly has matching yellow, red, and black straps that also attach to the ends of the poles.<br />
* It is possible to put up the fly first and then put the tent up inside the fly. You should try this at home before you do it in the field.<br />
==Repairs==<br />
===Tents===<br />
There are tent repair kits or the orange tents in a bag in the locker. These are good for small rips, but larger rips needs to be sewed and sealed with tape. There are a couple tents where someone tripped over the fly line and has ripped the fly.<br />
<br />
To repair a rip in a tent, use rubber gloves, clean both sides of the rip with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and tape up one side with green painters tape to hold the pieces in place. Cut a patch to cover the entire rip with 1" overlap beyond the tear. Trace the outline of the patch on the tent. Use a small paintbrush and paint SeamGrip over the patch and 1/4" beyond the outline that you traced. Let dry for an hour or so until it is tacky. Rub the patch so there are no bubbles and the contact is thorough. Paint on more SeamGrip along the edge of the patch, overlapping by 1/4". Let dry thoroughly (8-12 hours). Remove the backing tape and paint SeamGrip along the rip. Let dry thoroughly (8-12 hours) and you should be good to go. Keep the material flat on a table while the repairs are being done so the glue doesn't slump to one side.<br />
<br />
===Tent Poles===<br />
Every once in a while a tent pole breaks and needs to be repaired. If the fibreglass pole splits or breaks, it might be able to be repaired by a 3/8" copper piping coupling or if it is too damaged, the section should be replaced. There are some extra tent pole pieces cut to the correct length on the miscellaneous shelf on the left hand side in the locker. Often the shock cord can be re-used and doesn't need to be replaced. If the shock cord breaks, a new length needs to be fitted. The orange tents require about 9' of 3/32" cord, which is available from Skyview in packages of 18' (5.5m), so one package can fix two poles.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
With a piece of wire, dig the dirt out of the end of the poles and pull out the knot and all the old cord. Thread the new cord through the pole end that has the coupling on it (it is MUCH harder if you start at the other end without the coupling) and tie a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot figure-8 knot] in the end. Pull the knot into the hole in the end of rod and trim off the extra shock cord. Leave a bit hanging out so it easier for the next person! Thread through the rest of the pieces. When you get to the 6th piece, you will need to put a half hitch around the end of the pole so you can thread the next piece without fear of it snapping back. When you get to the last piece, tie another figure-8 knot, pull it into the end, and trim off the excess, leaving a bit hanging out.<br />
<br /><br />

There are extra copper couplings, shock cord and a piece of wire in the large black toolbox in the locker.</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Quartermaster&diff=1314Quartermaster2024-04-07T18:22:29Z<p>Grahamb: </p>

The Quartermaster is responsible to maintain our gear and can be reached at quartermaster@newwestscouts.ca. We have a cargo trailer, a canoe trailer that holds six canoes, and a locker full of camping gear.<br />
<br />
The gear locker is located at the Public Storage facility at 94 Braid St., New Westminster. You can access the site off of Braid St. or Brunette Ave. A code is required for the gate and must be entered both to enter and exit; if the same number of codes are not entered, the locker alarm may refuse to arm, causing an issue with the facility. Contact a fellow Scouter for the gate code.<br />

Please bring the gear back in as good or better shape than you took it. If something is in need of repair, please repair it if you can, purchase a replacement, or alert the Group via the Group Committee.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Some particular things of note when using the Group gear:<br />
* Return the gear to the shelf where you found it (the shelves are numbered). It may not look like it, but there is some organization to the locker.<br />
* When parking the trailer, please push the trailer to the back of the spot to maximize the space to back in and hook up to the trailer.<br />
* The tents need to be cleaned out (shake the dirt out) and dried thoroughly after use. They do not need to be washed but they can be hosed down if they are particularly dirty. Do not put them back wet!<br />
* The tents need to each be supplied with adequate tent pegs. As you are packing the tents up after camp, inspect and count the pegs. There is a small black and yellow toolbox with a pile of pegs to choose from if some need replacement. The orange tents require 10 straight tent pegs and the new grey/blue ones need 15. Don’t shove the poles down the outside of the tent bag as this rips the bag.<br />
* The tarps and groundsheets need to be hosed off, dried, and folded neatly. The huge wooden box is good to store the large tarps and the light blue rubbermaid tub is good for the smaller groundsheets.<br />
* Check things like toolboxes, cutlery kits, etc. to make sure they are not wet. If required, take them home, clean them and dry them thoroughly.<br />
* The pop-up shelter tops need to be dried, folded neatly and put back into the pocket on the sides of the shelter bags.<br />
* The coolers need to be washed out, dried and put back on the shelf with a piece of wood propping the top open to allow air to circulate.<br />
* The water jugs need to be drained, white tops removed, and stacked on the shelf with the open end facing out to allow air to circulate.<br />
* The pots and pans need to be cleaned and returned. Often this involves a run through the dishwasher at home.<br />
* The white wash tubs should be cleaned and returned. Often they are very greasy after a camp.<br />
* The stoves need to be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Consider taking them home for a good clean. It is no fun to open a stove at a camp that is gross from a previous camp.<br />
* The metal Venturer Company box, and the four wooden Scout Patrol boxes are (at least they should be) pre-packed with everything the Scouts and Venturers need when they go to a camp. The boxes can be borrowed for the Beaver and Cub Sections and there should also be enough other gear in the locker (stoves, pots, utensils, knives, cutting boards, wash tubs, etc.) for any addition needs. If there is something in the Patrol boxes that you need to borrow, please return it to the Patrol Box after use.<br />
* The propane tanks should be assessed and re-filled if needed. The Propane Depot at 3390 Lake City Way off of Lougheed Highway in Burnaby only charges for what they put in the tank rather than a set fee like the thieves at the Husky over the fence from the storage locker.<br />
* Please don't store loose food in the locker. We do have some food stored in the locker (leftovers from camps) and it must be sealed in rubbermaid bins and not left out for the mice.<br />
* If there is any broken gear, it needs to be repaired or identified by writing the issue with a marker on green painter's tape (available in the locker) and emailing the quartermaster. The last thing anyone wants to do is get to camp and have broken poles or no pegs in a tent. The poles are straight forward to fix as we have a number of extra loose pieced that can be cut down and used.<br />
==Trailers ==<br />
We have two trailers – an enclosed box utility trailer and a canoe trailer that holds 6 canoes.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The canoe trailer is a home-made trailer with a 2” ball that can hold 6 canoes. <br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The utility trailer is a Wells Cargo model RF581 that is about 8' long and 5' wide, with a 2” ball, and the curb weight is 790lb. It does not have a wheel at the front and is really heavy to move by hand. <br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The insurance is under Scouts Canada’s fleet insurance and is therefore due on the fleet renewal date of August 31st. The trailers are in Scouts Canada’s name and therefore they get the renewal forms, not the Group. In August, the renewal forms are mailed to the Group Commissioner by the Scout Office. They can also provide a letter indicating that the Group Commissioner has the signing authority to sign for and renew the insurance.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Insurance papers for the utility trailer are kept in the trailer and the insurance papers for the canoe trailer are kept in a threaded pipe on the tongue of the trailer.<br />
==Storage Locker ==<br />
We have quite a bit of gear in a storage locker.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
In 2016, we moved the gear to a 10’x15’ interior storage locker at the Public Storage facility at 94 Braid Street. The site is accessible from 5:00am to 10:00pm daily. The locker number is G902 in the building directly across the lane from where the trailers are. It is on the top floor near the southeast corner.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The access code must be entered at the gate even if it is already open. The code is tied to an alarm on the individual locker space. If you don't enter the code and you follow someone in, an alarm will likely go off when you enter the locker, and the gate keypad chastises you as you exit.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The gear in the locker includes:<br />
* Camping gear (lanterns, tents, four 10’x10’ pop-up shelters, white light-weight and green heavy-weight shelter sides for the shelters for use on winter or wet camps, 3 large and one small light weight (aluminum) tables, 1 large folding table, about a dozen water jugs, 2 spare sleeping bags, etc.).<br />
* Tents as follows:<br />
** three "2"-person MEC Tarn 2 tents (good for Scouters).<br />
** two "3"-person MEC Tarn-3 tents (good for Scouters as there is no way these would fit three kids). They are appropriate for one person comfortably, two a bit tight (wtih some gear in the vestibule), or three people from the MEC marketing department.<br />
** five or six Infinity Sports Eiger 3 (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs) These are a bit fiddly as you need extra poles and guy-lines to hold the vestibule.<br />
** fourteen Eureka El Capitan 3 (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs).<br />
** about fifteen new grey/blue tents that are slightly bigger than the El Capitan 3s (good for 2 Scouts or 3 Cubs).<br />
* Groundsheets for the tents<br />
* Cooking gear (coolers, pots and pans, propane & white gas single & multi-burner stoves, etc.).<br />
* Propane trees for connecting lanterns and stoves to a 20lb tank.<br />
* Four burner stove in a stainless steel case. Don't forget the large black hose with the quick connect.<br />
* Gear for winter camps (1 and 2-burner propane heaters, 3 snow shovels)<br />
* Paddling gear for the canoes (canoe dolly, PFDs, paddles, bailers, throw ropes, whistles, painters (bow and stern ropes), etc.).<br />
* Miscellaneous other gear (axe, saws, some firewood, etc.).<br />
* Event gear (apple day boxes, signs and cans, wooden spars for the banner when used in a parade, reindeer for the Christmas Parade, torches, etc.).<br />
* Patrol boxes (four wooden Scout boxes and 1 metal Venturer box) that are prepacked with gear.<br />
* Propane tanks are kept in the box trailer, not the locker. There are at two 20lb ones and several small green ones.<br />
* Inflatable boat with oars.<br />
* White pipes holding four bows and dozens of arrows.<br />
* Thermal sheets to have under sleeping bags as extra insulation in the winter.<br />
* Several sleeping bags that be be brought as extras to camps or lent out to families for the Scouting year.<br />
* Several older backpacks that can be lent out to families for the Scouting year.<br />
==Groundsheets==<br />
There is a blue rubbermaid tub in the locker with a bunch of groundsheets in it. There is a roll of poly that can be cut down for groundsheets or they can be made out of old tarps.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
A groundsheet for the orange tents should measure 84" x 75". Don't go higher than 84" as this is the maximum width of the tents. If you want a bit of groundsheet in the vestibule, you can increase the 75" dimension.<br />
==Folding the orange tents==<br />
The orange tents are not square and there is an easy way to get them packed up and a hard way. This is the easy way.<br />
* Fold the tent in half lengthways with the doors at the ends. Lay it down and fold again lengthways. As you deal with the fly, the air will escape through the doors. If you folded it wrong, they air won't escape and you will end up with a balloon that won't go in the bag.<br />
* Take the fly and grasp two of the pole straps with one hand and the two door tabs with the other hand. Your partner should do the same. You have just folded the fly in half. Come together and one person hands the straps to the other person. The other person gathers the loose end. You have now neatly folded the fly into a quarter of of the original size.<br />
* Lay the fly on top of the now-flat tent with the straight edge of the fly along the tent edge. Fold the excess fly to fit on top of the tent.<br />
* Put the pole bag and the peg bag (with the correct number of straight pegs) on the top at one end.<br />
* Start rolling from the end that will allow air to escape from the other end of the fly as you are rolling. If you start from the end with the straps, you will end up with a balloon that won't go in the bag.<br />
* Put some weight into it and roll slowly and tightly. Youth can do this in pairs to get a nice tight roll.<br />
* Have someone hold the bag and slip the tent into the bag.<br />
* Don't jam the tent poles and pegs on the outside of the tent/fly roll as this can tear the tent bag.<br />
==Assembling the Tarn-3 tents==<br />
* The bent pole goes yellow-to-yellow, and the straight poles go from red-to-red and black-to-black - it doesn't matter which straight pole goes between which colours.<br />
* There are three poles. One pole has a bend in the middle, which goes at the peak of the tent. The pole with the bend in it goes side-to-side between the yellow straps and uses the yellow clips. The straight poles go diagonally end-to-end. One goes between red straps using red clips and the other goes between black straps using black clips.<br />
* The fly has matching yellow, red, and black straps that also attach to the ends of the poles.<br />
* It is possible to put up the fly first and then put the tent up inside the fly. You should try this at home before you do it in the field.<br />
==Repairs==<br />
===Tents===<br />
There are tent repair kits or the orange tents in a bag in the locker. These are good for small rips, but larger rips needs to be sewed and sealed with tape. There are a couple tents where someone tripped over the fly line and has ripped the fly.<br />
<br />
To repair a rip in a tent, use rubber gloves, clean both sides of the rip with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and tape up one side with green painters tape to hold the pieces in place. Cut a patch to cover the entire rip with 1" overlap beyond the tear. Trace the outline of the patch on the tent. Use a small paintbrush and paint SeamGrip over the patch and 1/4" beyond the outline that you traced. Let dry for an hour or so until it is tacky. Rub the patch so there are no bubbles and the contact is thorough. Paint on more SeamGrip along the edge of the patch, overlapping by 1/4". Let dry thoroughly (8-12 hours). Remove the backing tape and paint SeamGrip along the rip. Let dry thoroughly (8-12 hours) and you should be good to go. Keep the material flat on a table while the repairs are being done so the glue doesn't slump to one side.<br />
<br />
===Tent Poles===<br />
Every once in a while a tent pole breaks and needs to be repaired. If the fibreglass pole splits or breaks, it might be able to be repaired by a 3/8" copper piping coupling or if it is too damaged, the section should be replaced. There are some extra tent pole pieces cut to the correct length on the miscellaneous shelf on the left hand side in the locker. Often the shock cord can be re-used and doesn't need to be replaced. If the shock cord breaks, a new length needs to be fitted. The orange tents require about 9' of 3/32" cord, which is available from Skyview in packages of 18' (5.5m), so one package can fix two poles.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
With a piece of wire, dig the dirt out of the end of the poles and pull out the knot and all the old cord. Thread the new cord through the pole end that has the coupling on it (it is MUCH harder if you start at the other end without the coupling) and tie a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_knot figure-8 knot] in the end. Pull the knot into the hole in the end of rod and trim off the extra shock cord. Leave a bit hanging out so it easier for the next person! Thread through the rest of the pieces. When you get to the 6th piece, you will need to put a half hitch around the end of the pole so you can thread the next piece without fear of it snapping back. When you get to the last piece, tie another figure-8 knot, pull it into the end, and trim off the excess, leaving a bit hanging out.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
There are extra copper couplings, shock cord and a piece of wire in the large black toolbox in the locker.</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Swim_Up&diff=1269Swim Up2022-06-13T17:34:43Z<p>Grahamb: </p>
<hr />
<div>"Swim Up / Leap Up / Climb Up / Swagger Up" is an all-Section ceremony where the older youth move up to the next Section. Beavers "swim" up to Cubs, Cubs "leap" up to Scouts, Scouts "climb" up to Venturers, and Venturers "swagger" up to Rovers.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We usually hold the ceremony in June in Queens Park. Some Scouters need to be there early to set up the tarp and the climbing rope.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The [https://scoutsca.s3.amazonaws.com/2019/01/scouter-manual.pdf Scouter manual] has the procedure for the Sections to follow. The Section Scouters should be familiar with the process of how to thank the youth who are moving up, and how to welcome the new youth into their Section. It is a big park, so the Scouters needs to be very loud so the entire Group can hear.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
We typically do all the Section openings in order (Beavers>Cubs>Scouts>Venturers>Rovers), the Section move-up ceremonies, and then end with some games and snacks/potluck. Bets are often taken as to which youth will get soaked in the spray pool.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Prior to Swim Up / Leap Up / Climb Up, it is encouraged to have some linking activities so the youth who are moving up are familiar with the new Section.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Link badges should be presented at the following Section meeting. The colour on the old link badges show the progress through the Sections from Beavers (brown) to Cubs (grey) to Scouts (green) to Venturers (blue) to Rovers (red). The new ones show the progression from Beaver paws to hiking boots.<br />
==Beavers==<br />
[[image:BeaverCubLinkBadge.jpg|left|100px]][[image:BeaverCubLinkBadge.png|right|100px]]<br />
Beavers who are moving up wear both their old and new uniforms. Beavers wear a Cub Uniform under their Beaver Uniform.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Beavers moving up repeat the Beaver promise and then are wished well by their Section Scouter. Those who have completed the requirements are presented with the North Star award.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They then “swim” up a creek (blue tarp) and duck behind a hanging tarp where the lightning “transforms” them into Cubs. They are then presented to, and welcomed into, the Pack.<br />
<br /><br />
==Cubs==<br />
[[image:CubScoutLinkBadge.jpg|left|100px]][[image:CubScoutLinkBadge.png|right|100px]]<br />
Cubs often don’t usually wear their new Scout uniform to Leap Up, i.e. wait until the next meeting. Some do have their new uniforms... we should discuss this and suggest consistency.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Cubs moving up are wished well by Akela and often given a grand howl or three cheers. Those who have completed the requirements are presented with the Seeonee award.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They “leap” over a fire, and are presented to, and welcomed into, the Scout Troop.<br />
<br /><br />
==Scouts==<br />
[[image:ScoutVenturerLinkBadge.jpg|left|100px]][[image:ScoutVenturerLinkBadge.png|right|100px]]<br />
Scouts don’t usually wear their new Venturer uniform to Climb Up, i.e. wait until the next meeting.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Scouts moving up are wished well by their Troop Scouter.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They “climb” up to Venturers by scaling a cargo net, and are presented to, and welcomed into, the Venturer Company.<br />
<br /><br />
==Venturers==<br />
[[image:VenturerRoverLinkBadge.jpg|left|100px]][[image:VenturerRoverLinkBadge.png|right|100px]]<br />
Venturers don’t usually wear their new Rover uniform to Swagger Up, i.e. wait until the next meeting.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
The Venturers moving up are wished well by their Company Scouter.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
They also “climb” or "swagger" up to Rovers by scaling a cargo net, and are welcomed into the Rover Crew.<br />
<br />
==Before the event, remember to do the following:==<br />
* The Cub/Scout/Venturer/Rover Sections should buy some link badges from the Scout Shop to present to their incoming youth.<br />
* The Section Scouters need to be familiar with the procedure.<br />
* Plan a wide game so the youth are not simply milling about.<br />
==Get the following gear from the locker:==<br />
* Tug of war rope.<br />
* Two large blue tarps (one for a river and one for a wall to have the Beavers hide behind while changing into their Cub uniforms).<br />
* Long ropes to hang the tarp (borrow the large box of ropes).<br />
* Small ropes to hang the Canadian Flag.<br />
* First aid kit.<br />
* Section flags.<br />
* Large round of wood used as the Flag block.<br />
* Loose Canadian Flag for flag break. (Typically located on the high shelf above the 10x10 shelters).<br />
* Firewood or campfire for the Cubs to leap over. There is a "campfire" in the locker (three sticks lashed together with colourful flames). There is also one that plugs in.<br />
==Buy the following:==<br />
* Juice and cookies.<br />
* Bring paper cups, not Styrofoam!</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=File:Physical-fitness-form_non-members.pdf&diff=1259File:Physical-fitness-form non-members.pdf2022-06-06T04:59:29Z<p>Grahamb: </p>

<hr />
<div>The following is a basic personal packing list for 2-night Troop camps. This list should be treated as a guide - what you pack changes by the season, the weather, and length of stay. For example in the cold weather, you will want a good sleeping bag, a hat for sleeping, and snow-boots. See the list of "Winter Additions" below. On the other hand, for a 7-day jamboree in the summer, take shorts & sunscreen, and leave the parka at home!<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Pack your gear in a backpack (preferred) or duffel bag. '''Suitcases and garbage-bag packing are not permitted.'''<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Scouts should pack their own bags.<br />
==Sleeping Gear==<br />
* Warm sleeping bag and pillow <br />
* Air mattress/foamy/Insolite pad (self-inflating, no foot or powered pumps)<br />
* Campfire blanket (optional)<br />
* Sleeping hat (touque/knit cap), sleeping socks<br />
==Clothing==<br />
* Uniform (shirt and necker/scarf) - worn to and from camp<br />
* 2 extra pairs of pants '''(avoid jeans and cotton sweatpants as they soak up the water)'''<br />
* 3-4 pairs of socks<br />
* 2 pairs of underwear <br />
* Pajamas or sweatshirt/sweatpants for sleeping - NOT day clothes<br />
* 2 Shirts<br />
* 1 warm fleece shirt or sweater<br />
* Warm jacket <br />
* Waterproof raincoat or poncho <br />
* Waterproof pants, if available<br />
* Hat<br />
* Waterproof boots, hiking boots, (sneakers if wearing boots to camp)<br />
* Swimsuit & towel if there is a beach/pool<br />
==Personal Items==<br />
* Toothbrush and toothpaste<br />
* Towel and facecloth<br />
* Soap in a ziploc bag<br />
* Packet of tissues<br />
* Sunscreen<br />
* Hand sanitizer<br />
==Eating Equipment==<br />
* Dish, Bowl, Cup/Mug, Knife, Fork, Spoon in a mesh bag (no metal dishes, hot food makes hot dish very difficult to carry). The mesh bag is great because it keeps everything together and allows it to hang to dry. These are available at the Scout Shop, MEC, Canadian Tire or Army and Navy.<br />
==Misc==<br />
* Headlamp or Flashlight with extra batteries<br />
* Camp Chair (optional)<br />
* Plastic bag for dirty/wet clothes <br />
* Glasses case if youth wears glasses<br />
* Campfire Ashes (if collected from previous camps)<br />
* Sunglasses (especially for winter camps)<br />
* Daypack for hikes<br />
* Water bottle<br />
* Medications<br />
<br />
==Winter Additions==<br />
The above list is a good start for a standing winter camp. The key things with winter camping are to stay dry and warm. Dress for the weather expected for the camp location – check the forecast ahead of time.<br />
<br />
* Additional blankets or sleeping bags. You can put one bag inside another, or lay one underneath you for additional insulation. Your campfire blanket is great for this.<br />
* The sleeping mat is a must; you will be freezing without one. You can add an [https://www.mec.ca/en/product/4003-969/Blue-Foam-Regular-Sleeping-Pad inexpensive foam pad] underneath your regular mattress for additional insulation.<br />
* Extra socks. Feet get wet while winter camping; change your socks often.<br />
* Extra gloves<br />
* Base layers (long johns)<br />
* Warm layers (fleece is great as it doesn't soak up water; wool is also great; cotton is the worst, it turns into a sponge; absolutely no jeans)<br />
* A complete set of clothes for sleeping. It is important to fully change your clothes before going to bed; sweaty clothes worn during the day will cool off at night and wick heat from your body.<br />
* A second toque for sleeping.<br />
* Warm pants (ski/snowboard pants are great).<br />
* A pair of indoor shoes or slippers for the cabin.<br />
* Appropriate winter footwear (snow boots are the best. Rainboots with warm socks (and lots of extras) are acceptable. Leave the runners at home or bring them as cabin shoes only.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Gear to be brought in a pack or duffle bag – no garbage bags<br />
* Youth must be able to carry all their own gear<br />
* No pocket knives unless approved by a Scouter<br />
* No food in tents</div>Grahambhttps://wiki.newwestscouts.ca/index.php?title=Basic_Scout_Packing_List&diff=776Basic Scout Packing List2018-01-15T00:38:21Z<p>Grahamb: </p>

! Category !! Amount<br />
|-<br />
| Youth Registration || $550<br />
|-<br />
| Scouter Registration || $300<br />
|-<br />
| Flight to Halifax || $472.63 *<br />
|-<br />
| Flight to Vancouver || $505.56 *<br />
|-<br />
| Food || ~$160 **<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The group has budgeted $3000 towards CJ 2017 (covering both the Troop, and the 4 Venturers attending as Offers of Service). We anticipate that this will be used in part to offset the costs of shipping our gear and renting what we can not ship.<br />
<br />
The troop has the opportunity to hold CJ-specific fundraisers, the proceeds of which would be allocated to the participants in said fundraisers (tracked by the Group Treasurer).<br />
<br />
'''Participants are responsible for the full costs of the Jamboree.''' After the Jamboree is complete an accounting will be done and rebate cheques will be issued to all those participants who have a credit from participating in fundraising.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Flights had to be booked as one-way trips because the same people will not all be on each leg, as all of the Scouters and their respective youth are either arriving early before, or staying later after the Jamboree. See the [[#Travel]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Food is purchased at on-site grocery stores. We've been advised to estimate about $20-24 per person per day.<br />
<br />
== Patrols ==<br />
<br />
A jamboree patrol is composed of 2 Scouters and between 5 to 8 Scouts. We are sending two patrols.<br />
<br />
* Patrol PU2471: <br />
** Scouts: Amy, Ewan, Christian, Aiden, Stuart<br />
** Scouters: Graham, Jennifer<br />
* Patrol PU2475:<br />
** Scouts: Derek, Samuel, William, Liam, Alex<br />
** Scouters: Annemarie, Rob<br />
<br />
Each patrol is an individual unit that camps, cooks, and attends activities together. Both our patrols will be camping side-by-side in the "Gold Rush Trail" BC/Yukon Subcamp.<br />
<br />
== Travel ==<br />
<br />
We are traveling on WestJet, booked through their group booking department.<br />
<br />
All of the Scouters are either arriving early in Halifax before the Jamboree starts, or remaining after the Jamboree ends. There will be two Scouters on each flight.<br />
<br />
Because there are different people on each flight, WestJet requires that we book our travel as one-way segments rather than a return trip.<br />

* A second checked bag fee of $35-41.30 CAD for all flights per direction.<br />
* A third checked bag fee** of $100-118 CAD applies per direction.<br />
* A fourth checked bag fee** of $100-118 CAD applies per direction.<br />
<br />
A Group Equipment and Baggage Form must be completed and submitted no more than 30 days before departure.[[File:Group equipment and baggage form.docx]]<br />
<br />
=== Payment ===<br />
<br />
A $100 per person deposit is required by WestJet to hold our seats. The deposit was paid by Graham on March 10. Each attendee should submit a cheque, payable to "Scouts Canada 12th New Westminster", for their deposit(s) as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Full payment is due by 30 days prior to departure. A list of names must be submitted at the same time. [[File:WestJet Group Names Form.docx]]<br />
<br />
== Patrol Equipment ==<br />
<br />
We are determining what of our existing patrol equipment we will be taking with us, and what we will need to rent from the Jamboree (or otherwise obtain). <br />
<br />

<br />
== Personal Equipment ==<br />
<br />
'''LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR NAME AND PATROL NUMBER'''<br />
<br />
Everyone can bring one (1) checked item under 50 pounds (a camping backpack), and one (1) carry-on item (a daypack). Pack light; consider items that can be used multiple days. Consider how you pack - if you're bringing heavy boots *and* lighter shoes or sandals, wear the heavy boots on the plane. <br />
<br />
Everything must fit inside your luggage. Nothing can be strapped to the outside.<br />
<br />
Bags should have luggage tags with the following:<br />

** Knife, Fork & Spoon<br />
** Lunch kit (reusable sandwich container, optional lunch bag – we will be making our lunches in the morning and carrying with us to activities)<br />
* Approved pocket knife ('''must be packed in checked baggage, not carry-on''')<br />

* '''Empty reusable water bottle – pack in carry-on bag'''<br />

<br />
'''A note on phones and other electronics'''<br />
<br />
Some scouts may wish to bring portable electronic devices to use on the flight (WestJet's in-flight entertainment system is a [https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/travel-info/inflight/entertainment bring-your-own-device app]. Scouter Rob's family in Halifax has graciously offered to collect devices from us at the airport, take them for safe-keeping during the jamboree, and return them fully-charged (BYOCharger) for the return flight. Devices must be labelled with the Scout's name. Label your cable too!<br />
<br />
Phones will be permitted in camp – they serve as cameras & alarm clocks, and when we're off-site on our Halifax day-trip, a good safety tool. However, their use is a privilige, not a right, and the following guidelines apply:<br />
<br />
* Devices are to be used at the appropriate times and for the appropriate purposes. Using them as cameras during activities to document our adventures is awesome! Playing games isn't!<br />
* Scouts are fully-responsible for their own devices. They must be labelled with name, patrol number and subcamp name (Gold Rush). I highly suggest creating a lock screen wallpaper with the same information.<br />
* There will likely be little to spotty cell coverage in camp; the camp is in a rural area and there will be 6,000 people on site. Wifi may be available in St. Andrew's Plaza (the town centre of the jamboree).<br />
* Scouts are responsible for charging their own devices. Drop-off charging may be available at CJ for a fee. I recommend brining a cheap battery pack and dropping that off instead of your phone. Scouter Graham is brining a solar panel; he can be bribed for charging ;)<br />
<br />
== Food ==<br />
<br />
While at the jamboree we will be getting all our food from a grocery store on site. A recommended menu for patrols will be available; the items on that menu will be fully-stocked at the grocery store.<br />
<br />
== Program Activities ==<br />
<br />
Each patrol has selected their preferred activities from the [http://www.scouts.ca/cj17/dl/cj17-Adventure-Guide.pdf CJ Adventure Guide]. Each patrol will have a separate schedule. We are waiting to receive our program schedule.<br />
<br />
== Subcamp ==<br />
<br />
We have been assigned to the "Gold Rush Trail" Subcamp, hosted by a team from BC/Yukon.<br />
<br />
=== Theme Days ===<br />
<br />
Every day of the Jamboree except for travel days will have a theme in the subcamp.<br />
<br />
* Suspender Sunday<br />
* Moustache/beard Monday<br />
* Tacky Tourist Tuesday<br />
* Wild West Wednesday<br />
* Canada Day Thursday<br />

<br />
The group has budgeted $3000 towards CJ 2017 (covering both the Troop, and the 4 Venturers attending as Offers of Service). We anticipate that this will be used in part to offset the costs of shipping our gear and renting what we can not ship.<br />
<br />
The troop has the opportunity to hold CJ-specific fundraisers, the proceeds of which would be allocated to the participants in said fundraisers (tracked by the Group Treasurer).<br />
<br />
'''Participants are responsible for the full costs of the Jamboree.''' After the Jamboree is complete an accounting will be done and rebate cheques will be issued to all those participants who have a credit from participating in fundraising.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Flights had to be booked as one-way trips because the same people will not all be on each leg, as all of the Scouters and their respective youth are either arriving early before, or staying later after the Jamboree. See the [[#Travel]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Food is purchased at on-site grocery stores. We've been advised to estimate about $20-24 per person per day.<br />
<br />
== Patrols ==<br />
<br />
A jamboree patrol is composed of 2 Scouters and between 5 to 8 Scouts. We are sending two patrols.<br />
<br />
* Patrol PU2471: <br />
** Scouts: Amy, Ewan, Christian, Aiden, Stuart<br />
** Scouters: Graham, Jennifer<br />
* Patrol PU2475:<br />
** Scouts: Derek, Samuel, William, Liam, Alex<br />
** Scouters: Annemarie, Rob<br />
<br />
Each patrol is an individual unit that camps, cooks, and attends activities together. Both our patrols will be camping side-by-side in the "Gold Rush Trail" BC/Yukon Subcamp.<br />
<br />
== Travel ==<br />
<br />
We are traveling on WestJet, booked through their group booking department.<br />
<br />
All of the Scouters are either arriving early in Halifax before the Jamboree starts, or remaining after the Jamboree ends. There will be two Scouters on each flight.<br />
<br />
Because there are different people on each flight, WestJet requires that we book our travel as one-way segments rather than a return trip.<br />

<br />
== Patrol Equipment ==<br />
<br />
We are determining what of our existing patrol equipment we will be taking with us, and what we will need to rent from the Jamboree (or otherwise obtain). <br />
<br />
[File:Camping Rental Kits.xlsx]<br />
<br />
== Personal Equipment ==<br />
<br />
'''LABEL EVERYTHING WITH YOUR NAME AND PATROL NUMBER'''<br />
<br />
Everyone can bring one (1) checked item under 50 pounds (a camping backpack), and one (1) carry-on item (a daypack). Pack light; consider items that can be used multiple days. Consider how you pack - if you're bringing heavy boots *and* lighter shoes or sandals, wear the heavy boots on the plane. <br />
<br />
Everything must fit inside your luggage. Nothing can be strapped to the outside.<br />
<br />
* '''FULL UNIFORM - WORN FOR TRAVEL'''<br />
* T-shirts<br />
* Long Sleeved shirts<br />
* Long Pants<br />
* Shorts<br />
* Underwear<br />
* Sweater/sweatshirt/warm jacket<br />
* Rain jacket<br />
* Socks<br />
* Sleepwear<br />
* Hiking Boots / Good runners (neither patrol has any extreme hiking but we'll be doing a '''lot''' of walking over the week)<br />
* Sandals / water shoes<br />
* Hat<br />
* Sleeping Bag, Pillow, Sleeping Mat<br />
* Swimsuit<br />
* Towel<br />
* Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)<br />
* Sunglasses (preferably with 100% UV protection)<br />
* Personal Toiletries <br />
** Biodegradable Soap <br />
** Phosphate free shampoo<br />
** Comb<br />
** Toothbrush and Paste<br />
** Deodorant (non-aerosol & perfume free)<br />
** Personal First Aid Kit<br />
** Protection against chapped lips<br />
** '''Insect Repellant (containing DEET - ticks are present in the area)'''<br />
* Mess kit<br />
** Net bag for drying & storing dishes<br />
** Cup, Plate & Bowl<br />
** Knife, Fork & Spoon<br />
** Lunch kit (reusable sandwich container, optional lunch bag – we will be making our lunches in the morning and carrying with us to activities)<br />
* Approved pocket knife ('''must be packed in checked baggage, not carry-on''')<br />
* Camera<br />
* '''Empty reusable water bottle – pack in carry-on bag'''<br />
* Daypack<br />
* Flashlight, with extra batteries <br />
* Notebook & Pen/Pencil <br />
* Plastic bags / stuff sacks for packing. I personally like to either pack like-items together in bags, or make daily outfit bags.<br />
* Dirty laundry bag (pillow case, stuff sack, garbage bag - helps keep the tents neat)<br />
* Badge swapping material <br />
* Camp chair (small, must fit inside pack!)<br />
<br />
'''A note on phones and other electronics'''<br />
<br />
Some scouts may wish to bring portable electronic devices to use on the flight (WestJet's in-flight entertainment system is a [https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/travel-info/inflight/entertainment bring-your-own-device app]. Scouter Rob's family in Halifax has graciously offered to collect devices from us at the airport, take them for safe-keeping during the jamboree, and return them fully-charged (BYOCharger) for the return flight. Devices must be labelled with the Scout's name. Label your cable too!<br />
<br />
Phones will be permitted in camp – they serve as cameras & alarm clocks, and when we're off-site on our Halifax day-trip, a good safety tool. However, their use is a privilige, not a right, and the following guidelines apply:<br />
<br />
* Devices are to be used at the appropriate times and for the appropriate purposes. Using them as cameras during activities to document our adventures is awesome! Playing games isn't!<br />
* Scouts are fully-responsible for their own devices. They must be labelled with name, patrol number and subcamp name (Gold Rush). I highly suggest creating a lock screen wallpaper with the same information.<br />
* There will likely be little to spotty cell coverage in camp; the camp is in a rural area and there will be 6,000 people on site. Wifi may be available in St. Andrew's Plaza (the town centre of the jamboree).<br />
* Scouts are responsible for charging their own devices. Drop-off charging may be available at CJ for a fee. I recommend brining a cheap battery pack and dropping that off instead of your phone. Scouter Graham is brining a solar panel; he can be bribed for charging ;)<br />
<br />
== Food ==<br />
<br />
While at the jamboree we will be getting all our food from a grocery store on site. A recommended menu for patrols will be available; the items on that menu will be fully-stocked at the grocery store.<br />
<br />
== Program Activities ==<br />
<br />
Each patrol has selected their preferred activities from the [http://www.scouts.ca/cj17/dl/cj17-Adventure-Guide.pdf CJ Adventure Guide]. Each patrol will have a separate schedule. We are waiting to receive our program schedule.<br />
<br />
== Subcamp ==<br />
<br />
We have been assigned to the "Gold Rush Trail" Subcamp, hosted by a team from BC/Yukon.<br />
<br />
=== Theme Days ===<br />
<br />
Every day of the Jamboree except for travel days will have a theme in the subcamp.<br />

The [http://www.scouts.ca/cj17/ 2017 Canadian Scout Jamboree] will be held at Camp Nedooae, Elderbank, Nova Scotia, from July 8 - 15, 2017. The jamboree is open to Scout and Scouter participants, and Venturer, Rover, and Scouter offers of service (volunteers).<br />
<br />
== Key Information ==<br />
When: July 7 - 15, 2017<br />
<br />

| Scouter Registration || $300<br />
|-<br />
| Flight to Halifax || $472.63 *<br />
|-<br />
| Flight to Vancouver || $505.56 *<br />
|-<br />
| Food || ~$160<br />
|}<br />
<br />
The group has budgeted $3000 towards CJ 2017 (covering both the Troop, and the 4 Venturers attending as Offers of Service). We anticipate that this will be used in part to offset the costs of shipping our gear and renting what we can not ship.<br />
<br />
The troop has the opportunity to hold CJ-specific fundraisers, the proceeds of which would be allocated to the participants in said fundraisers (tracked by the Group Treasurer).<br />
<br />
'''Participants are responsible for the full costs of the Jamboree.''' After the Jamboree is complete an accounting will be done and rebate cheques will be issued to all those participants who have a credit from participating in fundraising.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Flights had to be booked as one-way trips because the same people will not all be on each leg, as all of the Scouters and their respective youth are either arriving early before, or staying later after the Jamboree. See the [[#Travel]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Food is purchased at on-site grocery stores. We've been advised to estimate about $20-24 per person per day.<br />
<br />
== Patrols ==<br />
<br />
A jamboree patrol is composed of 2 Scouters and between 5 to 8 Scouts. We are sending two patrols.<br />
<br />
* Patrol PU2471: <br />
** Scouts: Amy, Ewan, Christian, Aiden, Stuart<br />
** Scouters: Graham, Jennifer<br />
* Patrol PU2475:<br />
** Scouts: Derek, Samuel, William, Liam, Alex<br />
** Scouters: Annemarie, Rob<br />
<br />
Each patrol is an individual unit that camps, cooks, and attends activities together. Both our patrols will be camping side-by-side in the "Gold Rush Trail" BC/Yukon Subcamp.<br />
<br />
== Travel ==<br />
<br />
We are traveling on WestJet, booked through their group booking department.<br />
<br />
All of the Scouters are either arriving early in Halifax before the Jamboree starts, or remaining after the Jamboree ends. There will be two Scouters on each flight.<br />
<br />
Because there are different people on each flight, WestJet requires that we book our travel as one-way segments rather than a return trip.<br />

<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Flights had to be booked as one-way trips because the same people will not all be on each leg, as all of the Scouters and their respective youth are either arriving early before, or staying later after the Jamboree. See the [[#Travel]] section for more details.<br />
<br />
<nowiki>**</nowiki> Food is purchased at on-site grocery stores. We've been advised to estimate about $20-24 per person per day.<br />
<br />
== Patrols ==<br />
<br />
A jamboree patrol is composed of 2 Scouters and between 5 to 8 Scouts. We are sending two patrols.<br />
<br />
* Patrol PU2471: <br />
** Scouts: Amy, Ewan, Christian, Aiden, Stuart<br />
** Scouters: Graham, Jennifer<br />
* Patrol PU2475:<br />
** Scouts: Derek, Samuel, William, Liam, Alex<br />
** Scouters: Annemarie, Rob<br />
<br />
Each patrol is an individual unit that camps, cooks, and attends activities together. Both our patrols will be camping side-by-side in the "Gold Rush Trail" BC/Yukon Subcamp.<br />
<br />
== Travel ==<br />
<br />
We are traveling on WestJet, booked through their group booking department.<br />
<br />
All of the Scouters are either arriving early in Halifax before the Jamboree starts, or remaining after the Jamboree ends. There will be two Scouters on each flight.<br />
<br />
Because there are different people on each flight, WestJet requires that we book our travel as one-way segments rather than a return trip.<br />

<div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:12th New Westminster Scouting Group}}<br />
<br />
=General=<br />
12th New Westminster is the only Scouting Group currently active in New Westminster, BC. We are part of the [http://cohoscouts.ca/ Coho Area] within the [http://fra.scouts.ca/ Fraser Valley Council] of [http://www.scouts.ca/ Scouts Canada].<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Questions about the Group can be directed to Geoff Pinkerton, Group Commissioner, [mailto:gc@newwestscouts.ca?Subject=12th%20New%20Westminster%20Scouts gc@newwestscouts.ca]<br />
<br />
=Sections=<br />
We have the following Scouting Sections within 12th New Westminster: two Beaver Colonies ([[Queens Beavers|Queens Colony A]] and [[Knox Beavers|Knox Colony B]]), a [[Cubs|Cub Pack]], a [[Scouts|Scout Troop]], a [[Venturers|Venturer Company]] and a Rover Crew. We are currently working to establish a second Cub Pack.<br />
<br /><br />
