Apple Day Success
Dear Editor
On behalf of 1st Port Perry Scout Group, we would like to thank our amazing community for their continued support during our annual Apple day, which was held on Saturday October 19.
One hundred percent of the monies collected stay with our group and will help go towards camps and activities for our youth. This was our best year yet (so thankful for a beautiful day).
We would also like to thank our scouting families that come out to these fundraisers, it’s a wonderful way to spend time with your family and also support us.
Thank you to the local businesses that allow our youth to stand at your place of business. A big thank you to Nature’s Bounty Farm for once again supplying us with delicious apples year after year. Last and certainly not least, thanks to our scout leaders, who without you, none of this would be possible.
Thanks again Port Perry and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Christmas tree sales at Port Perry Canadian Tire.

Rotary Youth Exchange for 2025/2026
Dear Editor
The Rotary Club of Port Perry has been involved in the Rotary International Youth Exchange program for over 30 years. Each year our club sends a student from our local high school (age 16 or 17) and receives an inbound student from one of 80 countries. The program is one of many Rotary initiatives to foster world peace.
We are looking for host families who would volunteer to host a student for 3 or 4 months. They essentially become family members and attend high school. Other than food and a bedroom, there is little expense to the host family.
There are many former exchange students in Scugog, and many former host families have life long memories and on going ties with the student(s) that they hosted.
