The Whitby Scout Trail received a grant of $1000.00 from the Baagwating Community Association, as a donation to help expand the Whitby Scout Trail.

I attended a ceremony and luncheon last Friday on Scugog Island at the Baagwating Community Association building and received the cheque, along with a number of other community representatives who in total received over $100,000.00.

Our whole process was made possible by Dave Archer, who wrote a letter of application.  Thanks Dave for your foresight, dedication and consideration.

Victor Woodburne and I are currently in discussion with the Whitby Area, Scouts Canada Treasurer,  in order to find a way to keep the funds in Whitby and earmarked for the Scout Trail and related enterprises.  Wish us luck.

It is indeed reassuring to know that the Spirit of St. Nicholas is alive and well and living on Scugog Island.

See you on the Trail.  Al.
