Every few miles, Scouts stop at stations manned by a group of volunteers who ask the boys to perform an activity. Various activities include properly raising and lowering a flag, testing their first aid knowledge, and making their way through a Haunted House. The Scouts are rated on their cooperation and attitude in attempting the activity, and there are prizes awarded the following morning. The Popcorn Drive is a new Scout fundraiser, conducted internationally. The intention is that, in time, Scout Popcorn will be as familiar as Girl Guide Cookies.
Scouts sell both packages of microwavable and regular popping corn.
Two bottle drives are held each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. Scouts travel up and down back alleys, and local residents donate bottles and cans. One of the Scout movement's goals is to help young people to be good global citizens concerned about their environment. Bottle drives serve two purposes - first, as a fundraiser, and secondly, to teach about recycling. The Gull Lake Scouts have sold Christmas trees for many years, recently broadening their product line from Douglas Fir trees to a full line of Firs, Pines, and Balsam trees.
