Important Dates for Registration for 2021
NEW REGISTRATION DATES!
Monday October 26: Registration for January 2021 opens for current members. Current members are defined as all participants that paid for Scouting during the 2019-2020 Scouting Year. All current members will have the opportunity to register and guarantee their spot in Scouting starting in January of 2021. Be aware that youth who did not return for the fall may register and take your spot. All our groups are full.
Monday November 9: Registration for January 2021 opens for free trial participants. Free trial participants will have 1 week to guarantee a spot with their Group.
Monday November 16: Registration opens to the general public for Scouting in 2021.
Cost:
The fee for registration for this year is $255.00 for January to December 2021.
Changed Dates, Time, Frequency and Location:
Please note that we have changed the meeting date from Wed 7-9 pm to Sat 1-3:30pm, each section currently meets roughly once every 3 weeks, but starting in January will meet once every 2 weeks (occasionally one extra week for a long weekend). Our meeting location may be Willingdon Church or Wesburn park, and may be other locations for hikes or other special activities.
Current Limitations During Pandemic:
Because we are limited by Scouts Canada, BC's Public Health Officer, Willingdon Church and Burnaby School Board, we are facing a number of restrictions:
- All in-person meetings must be conducted outdoors only, for both stage 2 and stage 3 of Scouts Canada's Pandemic standards
- We are currently in Scouts Canada's stage 2
- They may allow us to transition to their stage 3, given our province is in stage 3
- We are unlikely to progress beyond stage 3 before next summer
- Willingdon must attend any meeting held on their property with 2 staff members
- Willingdon staff members may not be on premise beyond 3:00 pm
- Burnaby Schools are not entertaining requests for outside groups to use their facilities at this time and may not for some time to come, and we cannot meet indoors anyways
- Overnight camping is restricted both by our BC Public Health Officer and by Scouts Canada under stage 2
Whenever we are able to meet indoors again (stage 4) we will consider reverting back to Wed evenings. We will review our status in early March.
