The Scout program is designed around a variety of activities
based on personal and group interests. The scout program
emphasizes outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship
and community service, leadership, and personal development.
Individual interests and skills are recognized with badges
and awards culminating with the Chief Scout's award. Older
Scouts are also encouraged to investigate and start working
on the Duke of Edinburgh's award.
Enjoy mountain biking, rock-climbing, canoeing, kayaking,
extended hikes and lots of camping. These are just a few
of the adventures you'll tackle in Scouting. You'll enjoy
your outdoor adventures as part of a team, working together
with other young people to accomplish thrilling challenges.
Scouting gives every member a chance to be a leader. It
might involve running an activity, organizing a camp,
or participating with other young people across your province
or Canada in a youth forum.
Scouts meet in a group called a troop. The troop is split
into smaller groups called patrols with a patrol leader
and second. There is one adult leader for every six Scouts.
Each Scout learns a promise, law and motto to help guide
their personal development.
Scout Promise:
On my honour
I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and the Queen
To help other people at all times,
And to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.
Scout Law:
A Scout is helpful and trustworthy,
kind and cheerful,
considerate and clean,
wise in the use of all resources.
Scout Motto:
Be Prepared
