Fundraising

The Newfoundland and Labrador Council is a charitable organization committed to providing the youth of Newfoundland and Labrador with rich, unique, accessible Scouting opportunities that promote character development and responsible citizenship.

Every year, we aim to grow our program by reaching out to more youth in more communities in our province. While membership, camp, and event fees offset the cost of running our programs, they do not cover the cost entirely. Fundraising initiatives and donations play a significant role in our program delivery and our ability to introduce Scouting to those less fortunate. Your support makes a difference!

For more information about fundraising please contact laura.argument@scouts.ca. Also see the Fundraising Trello Board for fundraising resources: Fundraising Resources

  • Scout Popcorn

    Scout Popcorn is a youth-led initiative that runs every year from mid-September to mid-October, it promotes confidence, responsibility and good citizenship. Since 1989, Canadian Scouts from all across the country have sold over $100 million of Scout Popcorn with more than half of the money raised doing directly to Scouting activities such as: summer camps, Jamborees, canoe trips, group excursions, and to help subsidize registration fees.

    For more information about Scout Popcorn visit our popcorn page or if you have specific questions about our popcorn campaign in Newfoundland and Labrador, please contact Nicole Butler, Council Leadership Team (Popcorn)

    Good Coffee for a Good Cause — Scout Coffee anyone? 

    Scouts Canada and Equator Coffee Roasters have teamed up to offer some really, truly good coffee. We are providing a “contact-less” ONLINE fundraiser to support Groups in creating great programming that fosters youth well-being and development.   

    The Scout Coffee fundraiser is a year-round campaignAs with our previous campaigns, Groups can expect a 35% profit on every order. In addition, over 5% of all sales will directly support the No One Left Behind campaign  ̶  providing opportunities for more youth to start Scouting. 

    What if your next cup could support Scouts in learning new skills, making new friends, and becoming better leaders? And what if that coffee was actually, really good coffee?

    Scoutrees

    When you donate to Scoutrees, you support the environment. This national youth program, typically held in spring, encourages and promotes environmental stewardship. By planting trees, youth learn about the important role they have in our lives, as well as the critical need for conservation. Each spring since 1972, thousands of Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts have planted over 80 million trees through the Scoutrees Program.

    For more information, or to learn about volunteer opportunities, see our page on Scoutrees.

    Apple Day

    This is an annual event which provides our Scouting youth with an opportunity to show their appreciation to the general public for their support throughout the year. Our 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 by providing more outdoor adventures for youth, camping equipment, training and much more. 

    Many Groups participate in Apple Day on various weekends throughout October and will be out in your neighbourhood asking for donations - so please give generously when you receive an apple.
