Scouts Canada, Greater Victoria area, is holding their "Apple Day" fund-raising drive taking place Saturday October 4th and/or Sunday October 5th between 9 am and 4 pm.
The drive consists of a few strategically placed sites in every municipality, including Metchosin, eachwith a small number of youth and adult members at the site seeking donations to further Scouting's programs. Passers-by are asked to donate to Scouting and Camp Barnard and are thanked with an apple, a tag and a smile. The funds raised go directly to Scouting's youth programs and to Camp Barnard in Sooke, a facility enjoyed by members of Scouting and many other youth groups.
