Scouts Canada Build A Home Challenge: 44 youth and leaders are bound for Vicente Guerrero, Mexico in July, 2011. Our Challenge is to build 2 houses for families with no homes.
This journey has been planned by the youth who hope to improve the lives of people both in our community and in Mexico. With no social programs, the people of Vicente Guerrero endure daily hardships just to survive. This life-changing experience will educate us on poverty issues and being part of the solution; strengthen our leadership; and increase our appreciation of
being Canadian. We will create lifelong memories and new friendships and take our carpentry skills to a new level. As we are the first Scouting group in Canada to undertake a project of this magnitude, we strive to be good role models and establish a program to be used by other Scouting groups. YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT THIS WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR BY PURCHASING SOBEYS GIFT CARDS – A PORTION OF THE PROCEEDS HELP THE SCOUTS ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL.PLEASE SEE KAREN STUART FOR DETAILS
OR CALL HER AT 949-3564
