According to the 35th/37th Scouts original charter, Scouting began at St. John's in 1912. This unit has continually operated and registered a Scout group every year since 1912. The 90th Anniversary Celebration was held on February 23, 2003 at St. Johns. The group operates five sections; Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. The groups meet at the Church and up the street at Norway Public School. For more information on Scouting in Toronto, see http://www.scouts.ca/

Currently
there are four groups; the 7th Sparks, Brownies and Guides, and the 24th
Pathfinders. The Sparks and Brownies meet at St. John's, the Guides at
Norway Public School and the Pathfinders at Adam Beck Community Centre.
Their activities include crafts, community service, camp weekends, and
fundraising with the sale of cookies. For more information on Guiding in Toronto, see http://www.girlguidestoronto.com.
