Turnbull Family Scouts Challenge
The Turnbull family strongly believes it is important that as many Canadians as possible meet and share outdoor experiences while learning the valuable skills of teamwork and self-reliance. To this end, the Turnbull Family Scout Challenge will reward troops that demonstrate initiative in conceiving an adventure, organizational skills in planning the adventure and small team skills in completing the adventure. Two troops will be awarded up to $2,500.00 each.
