I’d like to make mention of two contests that might appeal to you or your Scout units. You have until this weekend to get an entry in for the first one.
Coleman “Continue Exploring” Contest
If you are a non-profit organization and are in need of new camping gear, then look no further! Today, Coleman, a leader in the outdoor industry, is officially announcing the launch of the Coleman “Continue Exploring” Contest where one Grand Prize winner will receive up to $5,000 in Coleman camping equipment for their organization!
The contest is open to non-profit organizations whose mission is to teach children, 18 and under, about the great outdoors and participate in group camping activities.
Participants can enter by visiting the Coleman Facebook page now through October 31st. In addition to filling out the online entry form, you must submit one photo of your group in the outdoors as well as what the outdoors means to your group (50 words or less please!). In addition to the Grand Prize winner, there will be four second prize winners who will each win a prize package consisting of Coleman® camping equipment with a retail value of $2,000.
Once all the entries have been received, Coleman will select five finalists based on creativity, originality, and their commitment to teaching children about the outdoors. Then, starting November 5-11, Coleman Facebook fans will vote for the Grand Prize winner so log on and let us know what the great outdoors mean to you.
