Challenge ideas
Choose a group goal, a fun challenge, raise a little money and have a blast

• Canoe and Kayak clubs - Convert an exisiting event into a Big Moo Canoe Day or develop a new event just for this special occasion. View a few ideas of how a club might stage a Big Moo Canoe event for your members.
  
  
• Youth groups - Looking for a fun way to beat the heat with your restless youth this summer? Take them canoeing on a local river or lake and make it a teachable event. Plan a day on the water with your kids and bring along your copy of Beatrice's Goat. Read them the story of how a small goat became a turning point for a small girl. Help your kids find inspiration, a giving spirit and develop a charitable heart.
  
  
• Scout troops - You already have a day to get your boating merit badge planned, so let your scouts help organize this fun event and get two badges out of one event.
  
  
• Family or Friends Outing - Plan or convert an existing trip to a "Paddle with a Purpose" event and use your adventure to help families in need.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has - Margaret Mead (1901 - 1978)
