February 25, 2022 PSA - Regarding the Ukraine Conflict
WOSM has issued a statement on Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine.
Podcast Topics
The World Organization of the Scouting Movement (WOSM) has issued a statement on the Russian-instigated conflict in Ukraine.

For our part, we condemn Russia’s aggression (inasmuch as that means anything), and we pray for a speedy resolution to these events. We cannot begin to imagine the fear with which Ukrainian parents must be living, as they continue to send their children to school...and potentially into harm’s way.

And we hope that all Scouts in the country, especially, are safe and remain unharmed by the conflict. We are also confident that when the time comes and the need arises, they will be there to aid their communities in the ways that Scouts do best.

February 15, 2022 It's a Big (Scouting) World After All
How has your exposure to Scouts from other countries influenced your worldview?
Podcast Topics
The Baden-Powell Faceook page isn’t being updated anymore, but back when it was still actively being posted to, the team behind it posed an interesting question:
“Scouting is a brotherhood – a scheme which, in practice, disregards differences of class, creed, country and colour, through the undefinable spirit that pervades it: the spirit of God’s gentleman.” - #BadenPowell

How has your exposure to Scouts from other countries influenced your worldview?
Ken and Colin attempt to give an answer!
Shout-Outs
A first shout-out this week goes to TheStrider, a Scouter with the 2nd Smiths Falls group, who has a sweet thing going with his local Subway establishment, and who has been working to get his group moved onto a shared Microsoft Office 365 non-profit tenancy.

Additionally, Dan Tapley’s council, Battlefields Council, has partnered with Canadian Blood Services via their Partners for Life program. Can Scouts donate 50 units of blood in 2022?

And Ken’s wife Grace (and her sister Mary) get a shout-out as well, for proposing (?) a leech therapy badge. #NursingHumour

And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience. If you're listening to us on Scouting Radio right now, let us know; reach out and get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.

January 19, 2022 Claim the Flame
Scouts Canada has a new, themed competition for its members...starting this month!
Podcast Topics
This week, Scouter Ken is joined by Scouts Canada National Communications Director Scouter Mike (why yes, he’s back!) and Scouter Sandra, from Scouts Canada’s Program Support Team, to discuss the upcoming Claim the Flame competition. This is yet another competition that Scout groups within Canada are encouraged to participate in; its emphasis will be getting youth to think about how to keep active and find adventure in winter...and how to do so safely. Which, handily, ties in to the Winter Skills Outdoor Adventure Skills badge.
Shout-Outs
Scouter Mike would like to thank Tim Fountain, Rubene Desousa, Joe Vautour, Ann Carr, Anita Bergman, Anissa Stamboli, and Svetlana Kurmeleva for all of their assistance in bringing Claim the Flame to fruition.

Scouter Sandra, meanwhile, would like to thank Ginger Greenwood, Kerry Radey and Laura Flett for all their hard work as members of the Program Support Team.

And, as always, a big thank you to the folks at Scouting Radio for rebroadcasting Scouting Stuff episodes to their worldwide Scouting audience. If you're listening to us on Scouting Radio right now, let us know; reach out and get in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
