A SCOUTING AROUND A SCOUTS CANAD) || Apple Day _| | had its start | | back in 1932 by Robin Nutbrown Annually, South Georgian Bay District has = a fund-raising event called Apple Day. This year's Apple Day is scheduled for Oct. 24. Purpose of Apple Day is to raise funds for either district, group or section of scouting. It should be made clear that scouts do not sell apples. A scout does not beg either, as something of value is given to donors. In this case, a delicious, Canadian-grown apple is presented to every contributor in return for his donation. A tag is also given, to show that a person has helped scouting. The origin of Apple Day occurred more than 40 years ago when a Canadian scout executive saw a similar project being operated by a Winnipeg service club. On Jan. 30, 1932 this method of fund-raising was tried for the first time by scouts from: Saint John, New Brunswick. On that day, in 1932, there was a rain and sleet storm but 21,000 apples were sold, and since then , over one million dollars has beer raised across Canada. Mrs. Sandy Reynolds is our chairman for Apple Day this year. For further information please contact Sandy at 526-9592.

All we need is some families interested - in sharing themselves, their lifestyle, any craft or interest they may have, with some young people very eager to learn. In return, they will be as much help to you as they can, partaking of some work and family life. As a whole, the ex- perience is more one of sharing and learning from both sides.
