Covid Update October 24th, 2020

Dear Scouters,

Following the guidance from public health authorities in Quebec, we continue to recommend virtual programming for all Scouting activities.

We recognize that this pause has impacted fall plans and we sincerely hope we will be able to safely return to in-person activities soon. In the mean time, we encourage all of our members to participate in our monthly virtual events.  Each month from now until June 2021 we will be hosting a virtual event that you can participate in with your Section, or on your own.  Each event will earn you a piece of a crest that will tell everyone that you had fun in Scouting this year!  Our first event for Halloween will take place on Friday October 30, 2020!!

Virtual Halloween

Looking for other ideas for what your Sections could get up to during the in-person pause? Why not check out our second Pause Café Scouts in November?  Come and share program ideas, and learn form what others have been doing?   For a sneak peak, check out what the Trois Rivières Scouters have been putting together, https://gr1ertr.wixsite.com/scouts1ertr/activitesvirscoutsaventuriers

This message, as with our previous emails, will be made available on our on our Facebook page.

Thank you once again for all that you’ve done, all that you continue to do, and for all that you contribute to Scouting.

Yours in Scouting,

Covid update October 15th, 2020

Dear Scouters,

 

Thank You for your demonstration of resiliency as we adjust to our environment by pressing pause on in-person Scouting and return to virtual meetings. Being an example of adaptability is another way you are contributing to preparing youth for success in the world. Guiding them to navigate risk, stress and challenges will contribute to the development of resilient youth who will become resilient adults.

 

We know that this pause comes with significant uncertainty about when in-person activities will resume and when it will be safe to re-engage in delivering fantastic outdoor programming to our members. To ensure that all Scouters in Quebec Council are provided with up-to-date information on our COVID response, we will be providing regular updates to all Scouters until we are able to return to Stage 2 activities and plans. These messages will continue to be emailed to all Scouters and will also be posted on our Council’s Facebook page.

 

While we previously stated that a decision would be made as of October 16 whether in-person activities will resume, this message confirms that we will pause in-person activities until further notice. We will be following the advice of federal, provincial, and municipal authorities and health agencies throughout this process, as we have from the onset of COVID earlier this year.

 

Thank you once again for all that you’ve done, all that you continue to do, and for all that you contribute to Scouting.

 

Yours in Scouting,
