As a group we participate in three major fundraisers each year:
- Apple Day – October 2, 3 & 4, 2026
- Leaf bags – TBD
- Purdy’s Chocolate – Orders can be made until midnight November 20, 2026, for distribution in early December. Click on the individual section links below to order and feel free to share the link with family and friends. Thank you!
All our youth are requested to participate in fundraising as it helps fund our gym rental at the school, our storage rental that houses our equipment, as well as helping to fund our programs. This means it helps keep our costs down so we can focus on having fun!

- GCWCC – Did you know that during the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign, you can designate a specific group at Scouts Canada to receive your donation. Follow these step-by-step instructions to ensure your funds reach the our group:
- Step 1: Access the GCWCC Donation Platform. Log in to your workplace’s GCWCC ePledge Portal (often hosted via the United Way Centraide platform depending on your region).
- Step 2: Select the “Other Charities” Option. When you reach the donation page where you assign your funds, look for the option that allows you to give it to “Other Canadian Registered Charities”. A minimum donation of $26 may be required to be able to apply it to a specific Scouts Canada group.
- Step 3: Search for Scouts Canada Charity (BN/Registration Number: 10776 1694 RR0001). Note that local scout groups fall under the national Scouts Canada umbrella.
- Step 4: Add your specific group name when prompted to designate your funds or add a comment to let them know you want the funds to go to the 104th Ottawa Scout Group. This ensures that when the Scouts Canada processes the GCWCC funds, the money will be directed to our group. Thank you !
