Scouts to get funds TORONTO - A $151,410 pro- vincial recreation grant will assist in providing more than 20,000 Ctn- tario Boy Scout leaders with train- ing in child abuse prevention and leadership. The Community Recreation De- velopment grant to Boy Scouts of Canada's Ontario Council was an- nounced by Ontario Minister of Tourism and Recreation Ken Black. It was approved under the program's Leadership Development Component. Leaders will be trained in moni- toring, identifying and taking ac- tion in child abuse cases through workshops and regular leader cours- es. All 118 local Scout councils in Ontario will also receive a Child Abuse Prevention Kit comprising a video, handbook and manual. "Committed and thoroughly trained leaders will benefit some 100,000 Boy Scouts annually," Mr. Black said. "They will be vital in bringing about a better knowl- edge of child abuse problems and hopefully, a reduction in incidents of abuse." The grant will also fund a leader- ship program which ,applies man- agement concepts currently used in industry to the Boy Scout voltm- tecr movement. Community Recreation Develop- ment is a six -component program which enables communities and non-profit organizations to im- prove or enrich recreation opportu- nities of all Ontarians. before the end of the 1989 tax year.
