Fundraising

2nd Guelph participates in a number of fundraising activities through the year in order to help raise funds to allow us to purchase euipment and keep costs low for the families within our group. We use those funds to provide discounts on registration, covering registration fees of families in need, paying part or all of the camp fees for a given camp, buying canoes, kayaks, tents and other gear, buying neckers and badges, paying for training and uniforms for our leaders and other similar expenses.

Key Fundraising events:

Apple Days - the week after Thanksgiving. All Beavers, Cubs and Scouts are expected to participate, We go out Thursday night , Friday night and Saturday morning. We usually celebrate with a wrap-up pizza party on Saturday at noon at the church. All funds go into the group to cover general expenses.

Popcorn - September to the end of October. This is a voluntary fundraiser where each family can determine to what extent they wish to participate. Funds raised are divided this way: 40% back to the family up to the cost of registration. This allows families who find it difficult to pay for registration a way to get that money back. 40% to their child's section (Beaver, Cubs and Scouts). This helps all youth in their section to enjoy camps and other activities at a reduced amount. 20% to group to help pay for general expenses. More details about dates and key information can be found on the Popcorn Information page.

Scoutrees - Last Saturday in April.
