Gabriel Plante is organizing this fundraiser.

My name is Scouter Gabe and I am part of a team of Volunteers that are fundraising to send a contingent of youth from Northern Ontario (Greater Sudbury specifically) to Sooke, B.C. for a chance to participate in a week long Scouts Canada Summer Camp called Pacific Jamboree.

Scouting is an organization open to all youth, ages 5 to 18 years. regardless of their gender or socio-economic background. Our local groups are 100% run by volunteers (under the guidelines of Scouts Canada) and responsible for all expenses related to our programming for youth, including rare opportunities such as this one.

While our youth and Scouters have been hard at work since September, trying to fundraise enough money to ensure as many youth as possible can attend without any financial barriers, the amount of money needed to support all of the interested youth is more difficult to attain than expected. We normally would fundraise for two years however, we were only informed that this Jamboree would be taking place with less than a year to plan. We have approached several large corporations for support without any luck and this is why we are appealing to the greater population to help us out.

I'm sure many of you have had experiences with Scouting or Guiding in your youth and even in these changing times, we are working tirelessly to blend traditional skills with new technologies. If you have great memories of scouting as a youth, consider donating to help us provide the same memories to another generation of Scouts.

Thank you kindly for your time, consideration and support.
