Fundraising

The Nova Scotia Council and Scoutiing as a whole is a charitable organization powered mainly by fundraising initiatives and membership fees. While membership, camp, and event fees cover a large portion of the cost of running our programs, they do not cover the cost entirely.

To ensure that we are able to continue to deliver the high quality of program that we have for over 100 years, we rely on the generous support of people like you. Your support truly makes a difference!

  • 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 http://www.scoutpopcorn.ca or if you have specific Popcorn campaign questions, please contact your area commissioner or local group Popcorn leader.

    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.
