Happy National Volunteer Week!
Today we celebrate the incredible volunteers who make 3rd Bowmanville Scouting such a special place. Our scouters show up week after week with energy, patience, and a genuine passion for helping youth grow into confident, capable individuals.

Thank you for the campfires, the life lessons, the laughter, and the countless hours you give. 3rd Bowmanville wouldn’t be the same without you.
We appreciate you more than words can say! 💚

doesn’t have to be all about financial giving. How about giving THANKS to a fellow Scouter, an exceptionally helpful youth, a volunteer you couldn’t live without?

The Thanks button is fun to press and expressions of gratitude can be as meaningful to the continued health of an organization as monetary donations.

Its - why not give thanks!?

Would you like to thank a Scouter for their impact on you, your child or your community? Just hit the Thank You it’s that easy!

- Did you know that there are 2 ways to celebrate Giving Tuesday with Scouting?

One way is ..
The great and wonderful program and activities that our team provides here for our local scouting youth are due in very large part to our scouting volunteers ("Scouters"), and our volunteer Youth Scouters. Tuesday December 2nd is 'Giving Thanks' Tuesday in Scouting - please consider taking a moment to recognize a Scouter for giving back to our youth and our community

Please see more details in the link below and copy this link to go to the online form to recognize a Scouter

The second way is ...
Make a donation to our group and ask for a tax receipt. The group receives much needed funds and you receive a tax donation receipt for the upcoming tax season. Donations can be made via cash, cheque or etransfer to our treasurer ([email protected]).

--- The broadest, and maybe the most meaningful definition of volunteering: Doing more than you have to because you want to, in a cause you consider good. ~Ivan Scheier
