🌱 Fert 'n' Dirt Soil Fundraiser
Premium Garden Soil Delivered Across Midtown Toronto
It's that time of year again — the 56th Toronto Scouts Fert 'n' Dirt Fundraiser is back!
Each spring, our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers work together to deliver high-quality soil, compost, and mulch to homes across Midtown Toronto.
Last year, our community purchased over $20,000 worth of soil, helping raise $11,000 to support camps, outdoor adventures, and activities for roughly 70 local youth.
When you order from Fert 'n' Dirt, you're not just preparing your garden.
You're helping young people build confidence, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships through Scouting.
