Our 2024-2025 Scouting year is about to start. This coincides with Scouts Canada opening their registration for new members. We are starting our recruiting drive.
If you are interested in joining our program please contact our Group Registrar or our Group Recruiter.
Our next in-person meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2024. The meeting starts at 7:00 PM. We will be meeting at the Richmond Hill United Church location. The parking on the Church grounds is limited. There is plenty of on-street parking. We meet at this location every other Wednesday.
We meet at our secondary location, York Region Paramedic Services HQ, on the following Monday. Our next meeting is on September 16, 2024. We rotate between the two locations. Please contact us to arrange for access to the building at either location.
1st Markham York Region MedVents is part of Scouts Canada's vocational program. We have higher membership fees than a regular Scout group has. This will be discussed at your first meeting with us. We are a volunteer organization. Our MedVents enhance their training by volunteering at our first aid service events. You are expected to agree to far more volunteer hours than expected from Scouts in our regular Scouting program.
Although our program's main target is youths between the ages of 15 to 26 years old, we do accept adult volunteers. The minimum age of our adult volunteers(Scouters) is 27 years old. Please contact us if you are considering this role.
If you are under 18, you should have your parents attend your first couple of meetings with us.
