The
3rd Ottawa Cub Pack is a member of the Heritage Region, Voyageur
Council of Scouts
Canada.
The leaders for the 3rd Ottawa Cubs for 2007-2008 are:
Uniform: All of the cubs should obtain a shirt and sash from
the Scouts Canada store on Baseline avenue. A necker and woggle (the
little item that holds the kerchief together) will be provided by
the pack. It is a very good idea to own a copy of the Cub Handbook,
which comes with a poster for keeping track of badge progress. The
Scouts Canada store is located at:
1345 Baseline Road
Ottawa, Ontario K2C 0A7
scoutshop@scouts.ca
Phone: 613-224-0139
Fax: 613-224-3571
Where do all the badges go?? You can check our uniform
orientation page for an image that should help you.
Please bring your cub to the meeting in comfortable clothes and gym
shoes.
Conduct: Expected behavior and rules will be discussed with
all cubs at the first meeting. Although our main goal is to have fun,
cubs that continue disruptive behavior or are disrespectful to other
cubs or their leaders will be given a 'time out' period. If the behavior
continues, despite warnings and 'time out' periods, the parents will
be contacted to come and pick up their child. This is necessary to
ensure that ALL cubs have a safe and happy time during the meetings
and outings.
Dues: Each cub is required to bring dues of $1.00 at the beginning
of each meeting which will be collected by their sixer. The sixer
is the cub head of their group (or "six").
Badges: Badges can be earned after your cub is invested. These
can be a source of pride and personal accomplishment for your cub.
Some badges will be done as a group but most are done on the cub's
own time. Have a look through your cub book and see what badges your
cub may be interested in. Some badges, such as the collector, reader,
artist or team player badges are a little easier to get and may be
good ones to start with for younger cubs. Cubs who wish to be tested
for a badge must inform their leader at the beginning of the meeting
so that time can be put aside for this during the meeting. Badges
will be given out at the closing ceremony of the meeting in front
of the other members of the pack (and parents if they want to watch
the closing ceremony).
Camps: Hopefully 3 camps will be offered this year: one in
the fall, winter and spring. We will provide you with the dates of
these camps, as the time gets closer.
Outings: We will try to arrange several special community outings
or special events during the year. Please remember that we will need
parent volunteers to drive and chaperone during these events. Allergy
Alert: We have one child with a severe nut allergy and one
with a kiwi allergy. All snacks and food brought to cub events
need to be absolutely nut and kiwi free. Please ensure that
if your child consumes one of these foods prior to a meeting that
he washes his hands and face thoroughly
