1st Lakeshore Scouts - a Scouts Canada Group hasn't added a story.
I am a leader with the 1st Lakeshore Scout Troop, and started this campaign on behalf of the 1st Lakeshore Scout Troop. These boys and girls are currently working very hard to raise the funds required to attend the Pacific Jamboree, in Sooke, B. C. this July. Scouts from all over Canada and the World will attend this once in a lifetime adventure and these Scouts are determined to be among them. They need you to help make this dream come true!
The 1st Lakeshore Scouts Group was created on January 19, 1919 in a small one room building in the South Etobicoke area of Toronto. We just celebrated our 95th anniversary this year and have been a strong and supportive member of our community the entire time.
Unfortunately, we are not funded by any level of government or company and all facility rental fees, camps, activities and excursions are and paid for by the Scouts families and a few fundraising efforts. The entire program is run by volunteers. Volunteer leaders who are already giving excessive hours to the Scout programming and have little time left for fundraising efforts. We try our very best, but sometimes we really need some help. This is where you can make such a difference.
The adventure will begins on July 11th, 2015, at an airport in Toronto, Ontario, where the Scouts will be boarding a plane to Sooke, British Columbia. Our Scouts will join 5000's of others, from all over Canada and the World, for 7 days of incredible experiences. Activities will include camping, hiking, scuba diving, whale watching, panning for gold, mountaineering, leadership, self reliance and so much character building and learning it cannot be measured. It is a once in a life time experience, these special children will remember forever. The skill sets, experiences and friendships our youth will gain will assist in shaping them into young adults full of desire to achieve goals, build skills and pursue adventure.
As you can imagine, a trip of this sort is very expensive and normally would be impossible; some of our Scouts are special needs children who require support workers and most come from underprivileged areas. In order to achieve their dream, each Scout, and their families, has committed to put in any effort necessary to raise the funds required. They are undertaking a multitude of community related fundraising activities, it is exhausting and still may not be enough.
We are hopeful that you will assist with a monetary donation of absolutely any amount, if you would " lend a hand" you will not only be making a huge difference in the lives of these children but in the world these children will benefit as they grow.
Thank you!
