Fundraising Campaigns
We have a few fundraising activities each year in order to help reduce the costs to parents. We ask that all youth and families participate to the best of their ability in order to help keep their costs low.
We greatly appreciate Community Support for these Campaigns to allow our youth to have Great Scouting Adventures!
Apple Day - October
Apple Day is in October, typically the weekend after Thanksgiving. Youth are asked to be available to collect donations at designated locations in our area. Youth should be in full uniform and dressed appropriately to be outside. As a thank you for a donation, an apple is given to each donor. Each youth is asked to provide one to two hours of their time, but are welcome to participate longer if they wish.

Christmas Tree Lot - Late November into December
Each December we run a Christmas Tree Lot located at Grant African Methodist Episcopal Church, 2029 Gerrard St E to sell Christmas Trees to the community. The Tree Lot is open on weekday evenings, all day Saturday in three shifts and on Sunday afternoons in two shifts. We ask that parents and families help to man the Tree Lot for a shift or two.
The funds raised will continue to support the purchase of new equipment, leader training and keeping the costs of youth activities affordable.
If you would like to help Volunteer, or would like to purchase a Christmas Tree check out our Christmas Tree Lot page!
