Dates: Saturday April 28th 2018 Times: arrival 8am, departure 5pm Location: Woodland Trails, Letham Center Cost: $10pp to cover lunch Every April the Medvents across Ontario gather for a final weekend of scenarios and fun. We call it Medventuree. We invite scouts in their final year to join us for the Saturday of the camp to learn about Medvents (Medical Venturers) and to have some fun playing victims in our scenarios or even taking a hand at being a rescuer in some of the scenarios. No prior first aid training is needed, just an energetic spirit and willingness to try. The focus of the day is fun and more fun. There isn't any testing and everyone works in groups. All scouts coming will be placed in appropriate groups and rotate through activities with those groups. Lunch will even be supplied. No uniforms required, in fact we encourage you wear casual clothes you can get dirty. If you are or have any scouts who will be going to venturers next year this is a great linking activity to come to or encourage them to attend. Scouts interested may come on their own (without their Scouters or with them) for the day and should contact us at this email address for more details. We will give you the details you need and get you signed up. Registration: medvent.advisor@gmail.com Scout's Day at Sharon Gun Club

Cawthra Mulock Nature Reserve Restoration Project
April 28-29, 2018 I am reaching out to your scouts groups in the Newmarket area from Ontario Nature, an environmental charity. We own a nature reserve at Bathurst and Green Lane called Cawthra Mulock Nature Reserve. Every year, we conduct restoration work on our properties. This year we are pulling periwinkle plants in April (date tbd) and were wondering if this was an opportunity any scouts groups in this area would be interested in participating in. Perwinkle is a non-native an invasive species that threatens native plants. It creates a dense monoculture on the forest floor and out-competes other native species. To prevent its spread, we invite you to join us and roll up your sleeves to pull out this pesky plant. The event usually lasts from 10am-3pm, but we can adjust the time based on the ability and willingness of participants. We are also flexible on the date (weekday or weekend) depending on the group. Please let me know if this event is of interest to you. You can find out more about our organization by clicking this link. 2018 SLS Honours and Awards Event
