The International Committee wants members in BC to explore the many cultural opportunities available within communities throughout BC. As a unit activity, youth and guiders are encouraged to explore the authentic opportunities available within your community to learn about another culture. To help encourage units explore culture, the committee will reimburse units $5 per participant for their activity cost.
Some examples of these opportunities would be having a local cultural group share their culture with your group which could include teaching a traditional dance, a craft specific to their culture, a cooking lesson, etc. Alternatively, your unit could explore this same sort of opportunity online. Sangam often offers cooking lessons taught by the staff. Please complete the form for more information.
To apply for the reimbursement, please fill out the Experience Culture Challenge Application Form.
