Shell Script to Enter a Directory (Folder Name Contains Spaces)

I am writing a shell script to cd to a folder.
folder name is "October Scripts"
I am currently storing the name of folder in a shell variable as so path="October\ Scripts/".
If I do cd $path I receive the error bash: cd: October\: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?
Kindly help

path="October Scripts"
cd "$path"

no need give backslash there..

just use double quotes..

path="October Scripts/"
cd "$path"

Thank you pamu and elixir_sinari,
