KISC Mask Fundraiser
Today is a little bit of a sad day as many of us would have been boarding our plane to head to Switzerland. The good news is that we are scheduled to go a year from now and that allows us to fund-raise a little more. The head Canadian KISC organizers have designed 3 different face masks, a beaver, a wolf and a mountain camping scene. These non medical masks are 2 ply with a polyester outer layer and a cotton inner layer. They are adjustable for fit and are said to be quite comfortable. We are selling them for $6 (profit of $2.50 each). All orders and money must be forwarded to Amy by July 23rd so we can then submit and pay for our order to the head Canadian organizers. Delivery is expected to arrive the last week of August. I will only need to know the total of each type of mask not the names as you will be delivering them to your customers. As you collect orders, please also collect the money for the face masks. You/People can etransfer to kiscswitzerland@gmail.com. If your customer is going to send an etransfer make sure you let me know this so I can keep track of payments as people's emails don't always match their name! Attached is a order form you can use if you wish and pictures of the masks. If you have any questions, please let me know. Amy Mask Designs here.. Mask Fundraiser Sheet here..

Scout Brigade of Fort George
Fall Campaign, 2020 VIRTUAL CAMPAIGN 2020 As we are all aware, a plague is upon us and the King George III has made a proclamation to keep all of the soldiers safe. COVID-19 is having a huge impact on our ability to move about and meet with friends. At this time, the USA-Canada border remains closed, there are restrictions on large gatherings, and many non-essential businesses have suspended operations. There is currently no firm date for a return to normal in Ontario. While we had hoped to run our camp in-person as usual, the uncertainty we are all facing means we will be switching to a virtual format, with a full weekend of online SBFG programs. Join us for battle drills, uniform tutorials, behind-the-scenes info on what it takes to run the camp, and much more! We are reaching out to past participants and groups to invite you to join this year’s Scout Brigade of Fort George fall campaign which is going virtual! We will be offering a virtual program on the camp weekend and hope you will join us. Virtual Camp Program Highlights
