Sections please give all your
pledge sheets/envelopes and monies collected to your Group Commissioner. On
the White Pine website is the participation report form required to be completed by each
group. In the past,
a portion of funds raised in the name of Scoutrees was
contributed to the World Brotherhood Fund. Beginning in 2019, Groups will
retain 100% of funds raised to support their Scoutrees planting
events and other Scouting adventures. Scouts Canada will continue to operate
the World Brotherhood Fund in support of international service projects. Please add up all donations which require a tax
receipt and make a cheque payable for this amount to Scouts Canada. This
amount will, in turn, be returned to the group from Scouts Canada. This
is a requirement of Revenue Canada. Each Group Commissioner please ensure
that this cheque and all pledge sheets (requirement of Revenue Canada) be turned in to
Dave Reid at the May Area Forum. See
