Hello, my name is James Tidball.

I am an Explorer at 1st Spen Valley Scouts, and have been selected to go to Canada in 2027 with West Yorkshire Scouts. I am really looking forward to going to Canada to experience the natural beauties of the country, and to witness the breathtaking views of the crystal lakes and the national parks.

The expedition will include a visit to Toronto, seeing Niagara Falls, a canoe expedition in Algonquin Regional Park, cycling in Ottawa, seeing the wildlife in Parc Omega, hiking and survival skills at Mont Tremblant, and sightseeing in Montreal.

I need to raise £3500 for my place on the expedition, and any additional money will help to buy the kit I need.
