Scouts Canada seeks support for apple day

YOUTH AND adult members of
Scouts Canada will be hard at
work throughout the Lower
Mainland, Howe Sound and the
Sunshine Coast selling B.C. apples
to the public to raise funds to fi-
nance many scouting activities.
Saturday, Oct. 24 will mark the
first annual Scout Apple Day in
the Vancouver-Coast region, and
money raised will be shared

among all districts for scouting
activities.

“There wiil be no shortage of
apples on the 24th,"’ said Bruce
Rutherford, volunteer chair of
Scout Apple Day °92. **We have
1,800 cases or about 150,000
fresh, crisp B.C. apples. We hope
the public will participate by help-
ing themselves to an apple, and
making a donation to scouting.

That way, we can continue to
provide quality programs for
hoys, girls and young adults in
our community.”

Scouting programs are sup-
ported in part by membership
dues, but mainly through a variety
of fundraising activities such as
Scout Apple Day. Volunteers or-
ganize all scouting activities,
camps and events, and are active

in both leadership and = ad-
ministrative roles.

“This is a first for us and we
are quite excited about the ideas,”’
said Rutherford. ‘‘Hundreds of
Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers,
Rovers and leaders will be out in
the Lower Mainland on the 24th.
Fresh air and fresh apples — what
a great combination.”*

The Vancouver-Coas! region,

Scouts Canada, covers Powell
River and the Sunshine Coast, the
Howe Sound area, Bowen Island,

Scouting, with over 16,000,000

the world. For information on
