1st Pontefract Scout Centre

LATEST NEWS: Expedition is now almost full, could each parent ensure they have paid at least £500 in by July 2010 for booking and paying for flights. At this stage we should be able to give you a set cost for the expedition. It is at this time parents will need to make the final decision of whether their Scouts can attend, those who can't will get a full refund. After July all money paid will be non-returnable and each will be given regular payment dates to meet according to how much you've paid already.

This expedition is open to all Scouts age 10+ in 2011 Expedition Leader: Mr J Fisher (Skip)

At long last, under pressure from you the parents here are some tentative plans for Canada 2011, Scouts must be age 10+ on day of departure. It's estimated the cost of this amazing expedition will be around £899 for the 7 to 10 day expedition in August 2011. The dates will be finalised once we can book the flights & accomadation hopefully at the end of August.

The cost will include return flights to Toronto, full board, indoor bunked accommodation at hopefully Samac Scout camp an hour from Toronto. The Scouts will visit Niagara Falls and go on the world famous "Maid of the Mist". A day out in Toronto will include trip up the CN Tower and hopefully take in a Blue Jays baseball game, plus lots of other activities, a chance in a life time for most.

I appreciate it will stretch many family budgets, so to help out I've decided to launch the expedition early, nearly two years before we plan to go. Hopefully by doing so it will help take the sting out of the camp and give more Scouts the chance to go and experience Canada in 2011

I will require a £50 returnable deposit, plus regular monthly payments. Once the final costings have been sorted, I will let you know via the web page or letter. At this stage you will have a week to return the official booking form to ensure you've secured a place for this amazing expedition. All monies paid at this point will become non-returnable. If, at this point, your Scout cannot attend this expedition, money paid so far will be returned to you via cheque.

For those Scouts who are lucky enough to know now that they intend to go, you can now start to make regular monthly payments to 1PSC. We'd encourage a Standing order be set up with the group asap to ensure regular payments are made and on time, this will be separate from the monthly subscriptions you pay for your Scout membership. Details will be posted on 1PSC web page when we can.

Don't delay, start saving up and get your deposits in before I put a stop on Scouts
