Why Donations Matter
At the 56th Toronto Scouts, donations keep Scouting accessible and high-quality for over 60 youth in our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers programs. Contributions directly support:
-
Equipment and supplies for meetings and outdoor adventures
-
Camp fees and uniforms for families in need (our No One Left Behind model)
-
Leadership training and safety certifications for our volunteers
-
Gear maintenance and upgrades — tents, stoves, trailers, and more
-
Insurance, hall rentals, and other behind-the-scenes costs
Your support makes Scouting possible for every youth in our group.
Square
The easiest way to give is through Square. You can donate using any major credit card or digital wallet, and you’ll receive an instant receipt by email or text. It’s fast, secure, and lets us focus more on delivering great programs for youth.
Cash
We happily accept cash donations at our meetings, fundraisers, and community events. Every dollar goes directly to supporting Scouting adventures for local youth.
Cheque
Prefer writing a cheque? Please make it payable to 56th Toronto Scouts. Cheques can be dropped off with a leader at meetings or mailed to our group. Your contribution helps us cover camps, equipment, and program costs.
Large Donations & Tax Receipts
If you’re considering a larger gift ($100+), please contact us at info@torontoscouts.ca.
While the 56th can’t issue charitable tax receipts directly, you can donate to Scouts Canada here, select "donate to a specific Scout Group," and specify "56th Toronto Scouts."
