Abstract: A scaffold apparatus includes a mounting frame releasably attachable to a top platform of a step ladder, a brace attached to the mounting frame and extending outwardly for holding the mounting frame and the step ladder in a spaced relation away from a building structure, and a receptacle for removable attachment to the brace and defining a cavity for retaining articles therein. The mounting frame includes a pair of pins and clips and a pair of C-shaped side clamp members for releasably attaching the frame to the step ladder. Each C-shaped side clamp member defines a channel therethrough and a pair of aligned apertures at a rear end. Each pin is removably insertable through one of the pair of aligned apertures defined at the rear ends of the C-shaped side clamp members for releasably retaining the mounting frame on the top platform of the step ladder.
