Kub Kar Production is In Full Gear - History of Kub Kars in Scouting
The 1st Port Credit Sea Scout Group is excited to announce the 2023 Scout Seeds Fundraiser. Scouts Canada and 100% Canadian Supplier Make It Sow have teamed up to offer an amazing selection of vegetable and flower Seeds for your garden projects. Every sale through the 2023 Scout Seed Fundraising Campaign will support the 1st Port Credit Sea Scout Group locally, with 40% of the retail price back to our group to help offset the costs of camps, adventures/activities, training for leaders, equipment, weekly facilities and meetings. Without fundraising dollars, our local Scouting program would be limited. Plus, an additional 5% will be allocated to the No One Left Behind (NOLB) Program! The Scout Seeds Fundraising Campaign Runs until April 30th, 2023.

Kub Kar Production is In Full Gear - History of Kub Kars in Scouting
Kub Kars are the hand-held cars carved by Cub Scouts out of a block of wood and other standard materials in a standard Scouts Canada kit, then set on a race track to see which one gravity will pull to the finish line quickest. This Canadian Scouting tradition was adopted in 1978 from the Pinewood Derby, originating with the Boy Scouts of America in the 1950s. The Kub Kar program allows Cub Scouts to explore their creativity by designing and building their own cars and with the assistance of mentors, learn how to maximize speed while meeting the design requirements. Through Kub Kar rallies, youth have the opportunity meet new friends, gain a sense of achievement and have fun as they race their cars against youth from the Cub Scout Packs in the surrounding area. Beaver Buggies were later introduced to provide Beaver Scouts with the opportunity to develop the same skills. Scout trucks were also added for older Scouting youth.

Congratulations to all our youth sections for their successful applications to the Grizzly Den Program for 2022-2023. With the generous support of Scouts Canada and Hydro One, our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturer sections were each awarded funding for an adventure of their choice, and a chance to experience the fun and memories associated with Scouting. Our Troop Scouts experienced an amazing backcountry, camping trip in the Massasauga Provincial Park. Scouting youth accessed their camp by canoes and spent two nights under the stars. In part one of their planned adventure, our Sea Venturers paddled the Humber river to practise for their kayak trip in September. The Grizzly Den Program is truly a unique opportunity Scouts Canada, along with our generous sponsor Hydro One, have created to encourage and support as many safe, outdoor adventures to as many Scouting youth in Ontario as possible. Please see the gallery below for more photos of the Grizzly Den Experiences our youth have participated in. More information about the Grizzly Den Program can be found through the link below.
Emergency Ready in Canada — Are You Prepared?
Congratulations 1st Port Credit Venturer Sea Scouts!
The Grizzly Den Funding Program 2022/23 — Congratulations to Our Youth Sections!
If there is one thing we learn in Scouting, it is to always be prepared. As Canadians, we should also be prepared since emergencies can happen at any time and often without warning. With a little preparation, you can respond quickly to help yourself and others. You should be ready and understand the risks in your area, create a household emergency plan and build an emergency kit. Check out the link below for more information to ensure you are prepared for possible emergencies. Please share this message with your family and friends.

Congratulations 1st Port Credit Venturer Sea Scouts!
In 2007, Scouts Canada launched the No One Left Behind program to ensure every youth is provided an opportunity to experience new adventures with community Scout groups. Through the No One Left Behind program, membership fees and related costs are subsidized for youth from families facing economic barriers. To date, 4,388 youth have experienced amazing Scouting adventures with the help of this resource, made possible by sponsors like you. Dealing with COVID has been tough, especially on kids and young adults and Scouting is needed now more than ever.

Our incredible team of Venturer Sea Scouts placed first with their submission to the City of Mississauga's Climate Change Youth Challenge! The Mission to Earth Climate Change Youth Challenge engaged youth across Mississauga to get involved and help solve some of the biggest climate concerns facing our city. Youth teams were tasked with creating innovative solutions that could transform Mississauga into a climate resilient city by both mitigating and adapting to climate change. The Youth Challenge was open to you highschool and post-secondary youth in the community. We are very proud of our Scout Team's success in their contribution to help protect our planet!
