Program Sections, Groups, Areas and Councils within Scouts Canada receive financial support from many different sources, including:  membership fees; donations; grant funding, service fees, etc.  One of the most important sources of funding that most often directly supports the program within our Scouting Groups is through targeted fundraising activities.

Scouts Canada's official fundraiser is Scout Popcorn and in 2008 generated $10,000,000 in country-wide sales.  This meant that approximately $6,000,000 stayed to support local programs.

Electronics Recycling Event

On Saturday, October 15 Voyageur Council engaged the community in a environmental event that was extremely well received.  Within a 4 hour window, we not only filled the truck provided by the FCM recycling company in partnership with Scouts Canada, we more than doubled it!  30 pallets of recycling!  Early estimates put the total weight of the recycled items in the ball park of 20 tonnes (or 44,000 lbs). 

A Big Scouting "Thanks" to those strong individuals of 28th Ottawa.  They were awesome in moving people swiftly through the drop off sight.

Here are some photos of the days events.
