Apple Day is a traditional fundraising event that started right here in Canada. This is an annual event that provides Scouting youth with an opportunity to show their appreciation to the general public for their support throughout the year. Youth distribute apples as a way of saying “Thank You” to the community. Donations are accepted in exchange, but apples are not sold. Any money raised during Apple Day goes towards improving the Scouting program through registration fee subsidies, outings, camping equipment, training and many other endeavours. Each Group has a designated area to canvass including neighbourhood stores and other traveled areas. Although participation and date are up to the discretion of the individual groups, Apple Day took place in Shelburne on October 11th. For more information visit www.scouts.ca Photos submitted
