History
Apple Day has been running for decades and began as a way to say ‘thanks’ to our community for supporting Scouting. Scouts handed out apples as a thank you for support shown over the year, and people began to give donations in return. We do not sell apples on Apple Day; we merely continue the tradition of thanking our community and accept donations if offered.
3rd Kanata: Some years, our sections go door-to-door in the evening of their meetings to hand out apples, while other years, we setup outside a store, like Cabela's and provide apples to those coming by.
Scouting Purpose:
It is a high profile activity held across Canada and brings the Scouting movement to the attention of the public. We accomplish this by having youth members visible throughout the Scouting Area.
It is a fundraiser as well which helps pay for facilities, gear, subsidize camps and other activities. We accept donations for Scouting but the Apples are free. The funds raised stay within the Bridlewood community for support of the Scouting program.
