Meetings
Group Committee
Group Committee meetings are held once a month and the meeting location changes. It used to be at Queens Ave. United Church, but lately it is at the Group Commissioner’s house. All leaders should make an effort to attend as this is where the Group decisions are made. At a minimum, at least one leader from each Section should attend. Typically, the meeting is held early in the month.
On a monthly basis, we get an update from the Treasurer, discuss and plan upcoming events, discuss membership and leadership requirements, parent and leader training requirements, review past events, and hear Section reports. This is also the forum to request funding for Section events and submit bills for payment.
