The Parkallen Scouts have been working hard on their service project to help Kiwanis and UNICEF eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus in developing countries. Scouts have surpassed their original goal of $100 and now they want to raise it higher by hosting a snowshoe-a-thon.
Both Scouter Tara and I have both offered to dye our hair to any colour that the Scout Troop wants us to have if the Scouts can raise $500, two colours if they get to $1,000, a random leader will be picked by me (sorry Scouter Krista) to dye their hair if the Scouts reach $1,500 and Scouter Liam will shave his beard if the first $500 goal is met. The Scouts will be taking pledges on how many laps they can run in snowshoes outside on January 28th at the Parkallen School.
This event was planned and executed by the youth in the Scout Troop. All pledges made will be donated to the Eliminate Project and all pledges made will be matched by the Kiwanis Club of Edmonton and the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada.
