Q3 June 26th Meeting RESULTS

Kemptville Scout Group :

Link: About: Scouts Canada

Note that donations that they receive will go to the local chapter of Scouts.

Scouts are receiving $3250!

This was the wish list that they presented at the meeting. Seems that their wish has come true, thanks to 100 Men!

#1) New canoe gear, such as 10-15 new paddles and some new throw-bags.  We love to go canoeing whether we are teaching paddling skills on a meeting might, going on a canoe trip, doing our spring Kemptville Creek runs with the Venturers & summer evening canoe activities. We also lend our canoes to the Guides (annually) and the Knights of Columbus (annually) for their retreat.  A handful of our canoes need some repairs to thwarts and decking.

#2) Our gear trailer and canoe trailer need some TLC—new tires for our Cub trailer (which hauls all our gear to camp) and a new hitch and chain for our canoe trailer. 

#3) A portable port-a-potty/camping toilet with a small pop-up shelter and a portable fire pit so we can safely facilitate full-day skills activities in Ferguson Forestry Centre for our senior sections (Scouts and Venturers).

     The youth of Scouts also wished for: 

#4) A water filter, a food barrel with harness and lightweight backpacking gear—this was requested by our Venturer Scouts who want to do more back-country experiences. 

#5) Our Beavers want some compasses to learn compass skills when they go hiking.

#6) Cubs would like a few hand tools such as coping saws and table clamps for building Kub Kars.

“At Scouts, boys discover their potential, build their confidence and embrace their power as changemakers, innovators and leaders. Whether experimenting with STEM, going on outdoor adventures or building real-life skills, they’re learning to be bold, curious and connected – all in a supportive, inclusive space.”
