Community Groups
As part of St. John's Norway's commitment to its community, the church premises are made available to a number of community groups.
| | Scouting: According to the original 35th Toronto Scouting Group charter, Scouting began at St. John's in 1912. A second charter was granted in 1948 to the 37th Toronto, also at St. John's. The 90th Anniversary Celebration was on February 23, 2003 at the church. 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.

The group focuses on helping people who have been unfairly imprisoned and deprived of their human and legal rights in countries around the world by writing letters on their behalf. It receives its information from the research centre of Amnesty International. In addition, it organizes educational and fundraising events throughout the year in the area and helps with other events in Toronto. The group currently meets at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month.
