Vacation Bears

Come and check out our ScarBEARo family! Meet our bears Hunney, Bessey, Gully, Madison, and Hartley Bear! If your family is taking a vacation, you may sign out one of our mascots and let it accompany you on your trip. We encourage you to take pictures and send postcards about your journey, and we will keep track of destinations at our office on the Travel Tracker board. Come by before your vacation and sign out a special bear from the Scarborough Community Services Office.

Sponsor a Tree / Bench

This program gives people the opportunity to purchase a tree or a bench to pay tribute to a loved one.  These trees and benches are located in one of our new town parks -- Memorial Park -- located behind the Scarborough Municipal Building.  A limited number of benches are put in each year, so give our office a call to find out where these benches are located and if there are any available.  Feel free to stop by this beautiful park and check out the existing trees and benches.  A granite stone marker will be located by your tree and a copper plate placed on the bench with information pertaining to your loved one.  Feel free to complete our Sponsor a Tree / Bench Form and return it to Community Services on the third floor of the Municipal Building.
