The bell tent will be a "pitch" perfect addition to the Girl Guides' camping experiences.
The 1st Okotoks Pathfinders and 1st Okotoks Rangers, part of Girl Guides Canada, have been awarded a $1,000 grant from the Canada Post Community Foundation.
The grant will be used to purchase a shared bell tent, which will enhance camping experiences and foster teamwork, community, and connection to nature for the girls in the program.
The Pathfinders and Rangers support girls between 12 and 17 in developing independence and leadership skills through youth-led activities and decision-making.
The Canada Post Community Foundation, which distributed a total of $1.3 million in grants to organizations supporting youth across Canada, raised the grant funding through customer donations in post offices, employee contributions, and special stamp sales.
According to the foundation, every dollar raised supports grassroots programs benefiting children and youth in the province or territory where funds were raised.
