Candidate Statements

Ann Huang (Youth)

My name is Ann Huang, I am 16 years old, and I have been a member of Scouts Canada for the last 7 years. During that time, I have been a youth participant with both the 59^th Greenfield Scout Group and the Northern lights Medical Ventures, and I have also been the Area Youth Commissioner for Aspen Plains. Currently I am a Group Support Scouter supporting 186^th Knottwood Scout Group. I would be a good Scouter to represent you at the AGM because I am very involved in the scouting community, therefore you will be well represented and it is always a joy getting to meet different people from the Scouting community.

Eric Atkinson

My name is Eric Atkinson and I am a synergistic, innovative and experienced Scouter of over 10 years, who has proudly been the Section Scouter of the Northern Lights Medical Venturers for the past 6 years. I am driven to continually engage and empower our youth by leveraging the collaborative experience and expertise of our Scouter Team, Council Scouters and our community partners to deliver a unique and challenging program. I strongly believe in and see the value in the program goals and structure, with the implementation of the Canadian Path. Utilizing these frameworks, we have seen our youth develop into critical thinkers, extending their personal progression, and encouraging active participation in an inclusive team dynamic. I also believe that all Scouting members should feel that they are a part of critical decisions that affect the programming and policies that the organization upholds, and that is why I am putting my name forward to participate in this process.

Sherri Brady

Sherri Brady has been a member in good standing with Scouts Canada since 2012.  Hers is a scouting family, with a husband who grew up in the program and has been a scouter for over 10 years and two youth in the program, one in Scouts and one who is about to move up to Venturers.  Her roles during her scouting career have included Beaver Contact Scouter, Cub Contact Scouter, Scout Advisor, Venturer Advisor, Group Commissioner, Area Commissioner, and Group Support Scouter.  She has been lucky enough to travel to attend the Pacific Jamboree in 2019 as well as the Group Commissioner and Group Support Scouter training in Ottawa.   Currently she works with both the Scout and Venturer sections while also balancing her roles as Group Commissioner of the 9th Fort McMurray Scouts and Group Support Scouter for the Northern Lights Council. Under her leadership, the 9th Fort McMurray has seen some of the greatest growth and retention in the council, if not in the country.  

Sherri is a true advocate of youth led in Scouting and support of the Canadian Path and the opportunities it presents both program participants and volunteers.  She is calm, insightful, and rational while caring deeply for the future of Scouting and the leaders of tomorrow that our program is helping empower.  She is a true advocate of Scouting and a cheerleader for the benefits it gives to all those who are involved.
