2 Packs, 2 Troops, 1 Company
all camping at the same time!
That's what Scouting is about.
3rd Waterdown has both troops and the Venturer company at co-op camp this weekend. The theme of the camp was "Co-Op Camp Strikes Back". A special thanks to our Venturer company for their offer of service in constructing the dance pavilion.
The Cub Pack's decided to head back to D.I.C.C. (Dorchester International Cub Camporee) again this year. This is a wonderful fall camp that is well planned and delivers activities that we at 3rd Waterdown wouldn't be able to offer on a small scale. Some of the events include tower rappelling, zip-lining, O.P.P. interactive demo's, and much more. This year's theme as chosen by the youth was "Superheros". Last year this event was attended by 800+ representatives of Scouts Canada, Boy Scouts of America and Girl Guides of Canada.
Often we wonder as parents, friends or families where our fundraising dollars go and the title of this post sums it up. With equipment bought through our direct fundraising dollars we have been able to send to camp 5 sections of youth from our 3rd Waterdown Group fully equipped and able to sustain themselves. So thank you to all our supporters who have and continue to contribute to our fundraising initiatives.
