FundRaising

Fundraising is important to support the 3rd Kanata activities and events. This allows funding of special events, specialized gear to enhance the youths outdoor activities, a reserve fund for years in which a deficit may result due to growth in sections or additional rental costs of facilities, etc.

The direct youth cost of camps (food, nightly camping fees) is paid by parents, so fundraising is used to purchase, maintain and store the tents, stoves, camp kitchens, event equipment that is shared across all Sections in 3rd Kanata. The Group also supplements Scouter volunteer costs for camps. monthly cost of the indoor facilities, group meeting rooms, Scouter training including first aid , some specific section costs such a Beaver Blankets, Kub Kars, repair of the race equipment, Scout Klondike Derby sleds, etc . Based on success of fundraising efforts the group also supplements some Group level camps and special events.
