Our journey to growth continues... Congratulations!

Friends in Scouting

I am pleased to tell you that a milestone was reached in recent days that has not occurred in Canada in over THIRTY YEARS. For the second consecutive year, Scouting in Canada GREW!

Congratulations. And thank you. I continue to inspired by your efforts. And I am very proud of all the Groups, Areas and Councils that have been successful in growing Scouting.

I wholeheartedly believe that more young people in Canada deserve to benefit from the efforts and successes of our extraordinary volunteers. We owe it to Canada's kids to keep going and keep growing.

But the journey is far from over. In fact, with prospective members still on our books in every Council in the country, I am also writing to ask for you to help us really put a push on for the remaining weeks in this year to help achieve great results. With so many prospective members waiting to be activated, and with so many amazing summer programs running, it IS possible that we could finish the year (as of August 31) with 5 percent growth! So, please, pull tgoether, do your part, and help us get there. We can do it!

And if I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Thanks for what you to do to enrich the lives of Canada's youth. Let's keep the momentum going. In the months and years ahead, I'm confident that we'll make history.

For decades, we've been helping young Canadians reach their full potential and go on to do amazing things in our society. It starts with Scouts!

Best wishes, and congratulations once again!
