Saskatchewan Council
2013-2014 Annual Report
MISSION
The mission of Scouting is to help develop well rounded
youth, better prepared for success in the world Scouting’s
Mission is achieved by::
- involving youth throughout their formative years in a
non-formal educational process
- using a specific method that makes each individual the
principal agent in his or her development as a selfreliant, supportive, responsible and committed person
- assisting youth to establish a value system based upon
spiritual, social and personal principles as expressed in
the Promise and Law
PRINCIPLES
Scouting is based on three broad principles which
represent its fundamental beliefs:
Duty to God: Defined as “adherence to spiritual
principles, loyalty to the religion that expresses them and
acceptance of the duties resulting therefrom.”
Duty to Others: Defined as “loyalty to one’s country in
harmony with the promotion of local, national and
international peace, understanding and cooperation,”
and “participation in the development of society, with
recognition and respect for the dignity of one’s fellowbeing and for the integrity of the natural world.”
Duty to Self: Defined as “responsibility for the
development of oneself”. This is in harmony with the
educational purpose of the Scout Movement whose aim
is to assist young people in the full development of their
potentials.
METHODS
Scouts Canada engages youth, involving them
throughout their formative years in a non-formal
educational process, using a specific Method that makes
each individual the principal agent of his or her
development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible
and committed person. The Scout Method is an approach
unique to Scouting throughout the world (World
Association of the Scouting Movement's Scouting: An
Educational System) and includes each of the following
seven elements:

2013-2014 Sask Council Annual Report
Message from the Council Commissioner
I would
like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of the Saskatchewan Council
Members (youth, Scouters, service team, council team and employees) for a very interesting and
exciting year. Everyone contributes to the success of this council and its ability to deliver Fun,
Safe Adventures for our Scouting youth. The support of everyone and their families is very
much appreciated.
The 2013-14 Scouting year saw another increase in full time and Scouts About membership. We
have experienced growth across the province. This is the second time in 3 years that
Saskatchewan Council has grown. While our retention rate is low (around 50%), we are great at
attracting and recruiting new members. Part of the Scouts Canada’s strategic plan is growth
and retention. If we can retain more of our membership, we would grow leaps and bounds.
Saskatchewan Council financially is doing very well. Not only did we finish the year with a net
operating balance, we have eliminated the remaining accumulated net operating losses. Our
growth in popcorn sales has had a very positive impact on our financial position. Growth on our
popcorn sales last year lead the country and we brought home the trophy! A very big thank you
to our Popcorn Coordinators, Ron and Bev Creelman, and also to all of the groups and their
members for their efforts in this fund-raiser.
ONE SCOUTS CANADA GROWING TOGETHER! This was the theme of the National Leadership
Summit held in Toronto in March 2014. As a Council, and with the help of the Saskatchewan
Scout Foundation, we sent a contingent of members from across the province to join members
from across Canada to this event. We spent a few very exciting days learning about a number of
initiatives of our National Organization. This included information on the Strategic Plan and
Program Revitalization - The Canadian Path.
As a council, we feel it is important that our members know that they are a part of a larger
organization. We also feel that is important that we maintain objectives that are in line with the
National organization. Keeping this in mind, we have set our objectives as a council, and this has
been summed up in one phrase – We need to BUILD OUR TEAM so that we can unite as ONE
SASKATCHEWAN COUNCIL that is READY TO GROW! With the help and support of the team
of volunteers that attended the Summit in Toronto, we brought that excitement and
information back to our council members. We held a number of mini-summits across the
province including Yorkton, Weyburn, Regina & Saskatoon. This team of volunteers is
committed to helping grow our membership, Support Scouters and deliver great program.
Our Program Revitalization Ambassador, Chris Clark has been working with the national team to
roll out The Canadian Path to our council. The four building blocks and key elements of the
Canadian Path are – Youth Led, Plan-Do-Review, Adventure Based & SPICES.
I would like to thank Randy Carnduff for stepping in as Acting Council Commissioner last July.
Your dedication to Scouting has been and will always be appreciated.
I would also like to thank Eric Schmitt for his dedication to this council for the short time he was
here. His enthusiasm and love of Scouting did not go unnoticed. Your energetic style and
commitment to helping others made it a pleasure to work with you. You are always welcome
back – you have many friends around the campfires of Saskatchewan. Cheryl Buell joined our
team August 1 as our new ASM. I’m sure she will continue the tradition of staff support for
Groups, Areas and the Council.
It has been an interesting first year as your Council Commissioner and I look forward to working
with seeing One Saskatchewan Council – Growing Together!
Yours in Scouting, Cheryl Berndt

DCC Properties Report
2013-2014 was another year of working closer with the National Property Committee as we review and
update property standards and accreditation requirements for all of our properties. Clifton and Associates
in Regina are helping us evaluate our facilities and Anglin Lake and Heritage Lake.
We also saw a change in the relationship with the Province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan Parks,
Culture and Recreation have become a more active landlord at Good Spirit, Anglin Lake and Cypress
Hills working with Scouts Canada to ensure our institutional leases meet not only Scouts Canada property
standards but also provincial standards. In particular this year Parks, Culture and Recreation worked with
Council to remediate winter storm damage at Anglin Lake.

National Fundraiser
Our annual Trail’s End Popcorn fundraiser was very successful in 2013. Saskatchewan lead the 20
Councils with the largerst percentage increase at just over 9%. Our youth and volunteers raised
$568,145.00 selling popcorn which resulted in $180,900.00 in income to our Groups across the Council
to support Scouting’s programs. A special thank you goes out to Ron and Bev Creelman of Saskatoon,
for organizing and managing this year’s tremendous campaign.
Saskatchewan Scouting Foundation 2013 - 2014
The Saskatchewan Scouting Foundation was formed with the purpose of raising, investing, administering
funds and as well as preserving the capital base of funds held by the Foundation, for use in support of
Scouting projects that are not within the field of normal day to day operations. Funds shall not be used
for any purpose other than for the benefit of Scouting here in Saskatchewan and preference will be given
to projects which are designed to address new needs, test new approaches, introduce new programs or
resources and which serve and or strengthen our Scouting needs. During the past year Council has
transferred the funds from the sale of some of our properties to the Foundation with the Board to provide
the stewardship of these funds as well as the disbursement’s to the appropriate parties from said funds
on an Annual Basis. These disbursements will take place after consultations between the Council and the
Foundation boards.
The Foundation is in place to work with the Council as well as the groups scattered throughout the
Province for the betterment of Scouting, There is a formal request process that needs to be followed
including an application to the Foundation requesting their assistance with the financing of any approved
request. Again the Foundation and the Council consult with each other to make sure our money’s are
being put to the best use at this point in time. So if you have a project that you feel may fall within the
guidelines as given above: Please send an application to the Foundation for approval prior to starting
your project. The application form is available on the Saskatchewan Council website.
Our major commitment for this year was to in conjunction with Council assist in sending a number of
Leaders, Council members as well as 4 of our youth Commissioners to the Leadership Summit in Toronto
this past spring.

Saskatchewan Gilwell Club 2013 – 2014
On May 21, 2014 we held the 6th Annual Saskatchewan Gilwell Club breakfast in Saskatoon with
approximately 120 people attending. It was once again a success in that we raised about $5600 which
has gone towards our outdoor programs and camps here in Saskatchewan. Over the past 6 years we
have raised approximately $60,000 that has been allocated to a number of projects in this Province, Our
3 Program Camps Wilderness Rendezvous, Camp Pianue and Campanoe Challenge as well as Anglin
Lake, Camp Seeonee and the Provincial Cub Camp. It has helped with the purchase of big ticket items
such as Canoe and cargo trailers, propane refrigerators, stoves and freezers, required program related
equipment such as canoes and safety equipment for the benefit of our youth. We have also contributed
to the renovations to our camp buildings. The process used in the disbursement of these funds is a
formal request and approval process. The Foundation Board leverages the resources of our outdoor
program committees, camps committees, Groups and Council; so in reality the Foundation’s $60,000 has
turned into over $125,000.00 of improvements and additions for our youth to use and benefit from.
There are numerous people that assist with making this breakfast a success. A special thank you this
year has to go out to Foundation and breakfast board member John Waddington who agreed to
coordinate the breakfast for us in Saskatoon this year. We would also like to thank Eileen Janowski for
her work with the major sponsors as well as the administration details of the breakfast. Job well done,
Thank you!
Please come and join us in Regina this year on May the 27th at the Turvey Centre for breakfast,
camaraderie as well as raising a few dollars to help our outdoor programs to get bigger and better each
year.

The Scouts Canada revitalization plan (The Canadian Path) continues but on a slightly different schedule.
The original plan had been to roll out the entire revitalization plan in selected groups starting in
September. The new badge structure was behind schedule. The alternative was to roll out the new
program across Canada starting in September.
The new program is based on 4 key elements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Youth led
Adventure based
Plan, do, review
S.P.I.C.E.S.
The goal has been to get all groups to start trying the new programming strategy. Everyone should have
received communications from Scouts Canada starting in August outlining the new program, in addition I
did a presentation at Scouter kick-off and we did several phone conference presentations at the start of
the year.
Scouts Canada hopes that as groups become more comfortable with these programming elements they
will be prepared to share their experiences and ideas which other groups can then use in their own
programming.
Development of the new badge structure continues but I have heard nothing about the timeline and it is
unlikely that we will see anything before the start of the next year at the earliest.
2013-2014 Sask Council Annual Report
Adult Training Report
2013 / 2014 saw a significant decrease to the number of in person wood badge I courses being
offered, due to demand. We held one in-person course for 4 Beaver Scouters and held our first
Outdoor Skills Course for 2 participants. We also trained 3 new Group Commissioners through
a mentor-type relationship. In contrast, 238 Wood Badge I on-line courses were completed.
Although we only held one in person training session, we held a trainer's conference, where we
had 16 trainers participate in various activities.

Youth Training Report
We had another successful year of youth training. Thank-you to the 18 youth who volunteered as trainers.
We held courses in Aberdeen (Prairie Heartland and Woody Hills areas), Prince Albert (Northern
Saskatchewan Rivers Area), Yorkton (Good Spirit area) and Weyburn (Great Planes area). The course
for Wascappelle area was cancelled due to lack of registrations. In total 38 Cubs attended FLEX (Fun
Leadership EXperience) and 26 Scouts attended FAST (Fun Active Scout Training).
Fun Fact: Of the Cubs that took FLEX in 2012-13 76% stayed in Scouting compared to the council
average for Cubs of 57%. Similar results were found in Scouts 68% vs. 53% and Venturers 67% vs. 54%.
In the upcoming year we plan to expand slightly larger so that we make FLEX & FAST available to all
areas.
