Scouts’ Christmas Tree Fundraisers
Various Locations
In the spirit of giving back, Scouts groups around the Gold Coast hold a Christmas tree fundraiser outside some Bunnings Warehouse stores on weekends leading up to Christmas. Not only will you get a fresh, beautiful tree, but your purchase also goes towards funding local Scouts programs, building maintenance, and equipment. Check with your local Bunnings or Scout group in early December to find the exact dates and locations. It’s a great way to grab a tree and support a community cause at the same time.
