They were also on hand on King St. the previous day selling apples during the Get Your Spook On event hosted by the Millbrook Business Improvement Area businesses.
They have more fundraising activities in store, including a yard sale, bottle drive and silent auction. They are looking for donations from your closet, your garage and your basement for their upcoming yard sale. Clothing, household goods, stuffies, small appliances are sought-after items. They are motivated by a plan for a trip to Iceland.
Scouts Canada is the country’s leading co-ed youth organization, offering programming for children and youth aged 5-26. Through a variety of fun experiences, outdoor adventures and contributions to their community, Scouts build resilience and skills that set them up for life.
Scouting is a youth-led program, where members participate in indoor and outdoor activities while learning a host of adventure skills — from camping and paddling to sailing and hiking. Scouts also are active in service in the community as this trio demonstrated at the Lion’s Breakfast.
The uniforms of these Scout members are adorned with personal achievement badges. This part of the program is voluntary, but for some they are a badge of honour, demonstrating the development of skills and knowledge in a variety of areas. Badges are designed to encourage members explore and expand their knowledge, encompassing broad themes such as fitness, the environment, engineering, science, citizenship and the arts. The objective is to help youth discover their unique abilities and help them develop a broad vision of the world and their role in as they embrace the organization’s motto: Be prepared.
