Since 1942, 1st Carp has provided a quality Scouting program for the boys and girls in our community, ages 5 to 17. To support that program, each spring we sell maple syrup crafted right here in Eastern Ontario.

This year our Supplier is Temple’s Maple Syrup.

The Temples’s sugar bush, located in Lanark County  is 70 acres is size and contains approximately 5,000 taps. The property was clear cut for fire wood in the 1940’s. The regeneration which followed would have included a variety of species such as ash, elm, basswood, hickory, birch, butternut, cherry and, of course, maple.  Through the 1960’s and 70’s the bush became a demonstration wood lot, with the assistance of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, to show the value of proper sugar bush management and thinning techniques.
