Scouts from all local groups will be around town offering their apples for a donation. Apple Day is the traditional fundraising event that started in Canada. On this day, youth receive donations from the public and present an apple in appreciation. Money raised go to registration fee subsidies, outings, camping equipment, training and many other endeavours. 23 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, October 14, 2010
