BACKGROUND:
In an effort to promote
Scouting during the Emergency Preparedness week in
Emergency Preparedness
Challenge - are you prepared for anything nature throws at you?
We are now accepting entries
for the Emergency Preparedness (EP) Challenge. What is the challenge? Quite simply
it is an exciting opportunity for us to promote this new offering from Scouts
Canada. We’re asking all sections that have started or completed any portion of
the EP program to send in their name, and section name along with contact
information, to ep@scouts.ca, in order to be entered in the contest to
win one of five draws to be held on April 22, 2009. Sponsored by the Scouts
Canada Foundation, lucky winners will receive scout shop certificates to be
redeemed at the Scout Shop.
To help promote this
initiative, we are also sending out posters to all Councils and Scout Shops.
Please post a copy or copies of this poster in your office. We’re also
including talking points that you can refer to should you receive questions.
These resources (the poster and talking points) are also posted online at www.scouts.ca/ep along with other background material and
contest details.
Let’s show Canadians how
vibrant Scouting is during Emergency Preparedness week May 3-9, 2009 by
showcasing the fact that we are the leaders in EP delivery!!! Join us as we
celebrate another feat in Scouting. All winning sections will be profiled in
Scouting Life Magazine and on our National Website.
Remind your sections to enter
by midnight, April 21st – Draws take place April 22, 2009.
Good luck and Good
Scouting!!!
