Fundraising

Scouting is a not-for-profit organization. Parents involved in the various sections, whether it be Scouts, Cubs or Beavers, donate their time on a strictly voluntary basis. The individual registration fees pay for part of the Scouting program; however, it is through fundraising that we raise the balance of the funds that are necessary to make the programs for the 433rd Scouts, Cubs and Beavers a complete success.

Our fundraising activities are designed to teach the children to "earn" the privilege of participating in such events, not simply have money donated by parents. Therefore, they participate in one form or another in each of our fundraising events. One of our traditional fundraisers is, of course, Apple Day, which takes place every October. This is done through a door-to-door campaign as well as a campaign at local stores and malls. I'm sure you have seen the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers with their apple baskets that they have all decorated at one of their meetings.

Another major fundraiser is the sale of Christmas trees during the first 3 or 4 weekends in December leading up to Christmas. Why not drop by our tree lot in the parking lot of St. Luke's United Church at 516 Kipling Avenue to pick up your tree this year. By doing so you will be supporting the youth programs and activates of 433rd Toronto Scouts, Cubs and Beavers. Watch for the notice on this site in the fall, which will provide details about the days and times that the trees will be available.

Your past and continued support in our efforts to fund our programs at the 433rd are very much appreciated.
