This past weekend, the Council Commissioners and the National Leadership Team of Scouts Canada gathered just outside Toronto to work together to move our great organization forward. I am pleased to say that the meetings were very productive and that there are great things ahead for Scouting in Canada.
As many of you know, Earth Hour took place Saturday evening. As we gathered for supper, we celebrated the event. The folks at the restaurant were nice enough to turn the lights off, light some candles and we also brought glow sticks. We were happy to take part in this event to reaffirm our commitment to the environment.
As Scouts, we were environmentally friendly long before it was cool or trendy. We have many years of environmental stewardship experience behind us and will continue with our environmental initiatives in the years to come. We have ensured that we are "leaving no trace" when we go on outdoor adventures, and that we continue to promote environmental activities in our programming.
I hope that you all took the time this past Saturday to celebrate Earth Hour and, if not, it's not too late! Why not run this week's section meeting outside and educate our youth about Earth Hour and the environment, clean up around your community or hold a recycling drive. We should all do our part to help our environment.
I look forward to Earth Day coming up next month. That will be yet another opportunity for us all to do our part.
Until next time, Good Scouting!
