ABOUT SCOUTS CANADA

Scouts Canada is Canada’s leading co-ed youth organisation, offering programming for children and youth aged 5-26.  With over 50,000 youth participating across Canada and in Hong Kong, in multiple languages and reflecting Canada’s multicultural landscape, kids and youth in Scouts chart their own path of discovery.  Through a variety of fun experiences, outdoor adventures and contributions to their community, Scouts builds resilience and skills that set them up for life.   Youth in Scouts are supported by a dedicated team of over 12,000 volunteers who collectively donate over two million hours of their time, providing youth with the opportunity to grow, to challenge themselves and to experience countless firsts.  Our volunteers help us bring our vision of youth making meaningful contributions to creating a better world to life by lifting people, communities and neighbourhoods. 

Scouts Canada is part of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM) which has over 40 million members in 167 National Scout Organizations around the world.

Vision

Canadian youth making a meaningful contribution
to creating a better world

Scouts Canada engages youth, involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process, using a specific Method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person.

  • Scout Law and Promise 
  • Learning by Doing 
  • The Team System 
  • A Symbolic Framework 
  • Nature 
  • Personal Progression 
  • Adult Support 
  • Community Involvement

THE CANADIAN PATH – YOUTH – LED

The Canadian Path is the way Scouting is done in Canada. Through this program, Scouts pave their own path to outdoor adventure and fun by setting their own goals, creating organized plans to achieve these goals, and collectively reflecting on their experiences and personal development. Youth leadership is one of the many ways that the Scouts Canada program helps youth develop into critical thinkers and team players, better prepared for success in the world.

The Scout Law

A Scout is helpful and trustworthy,
Kind and cheerful,
Considerate and clean,
and wise in the use of all resources.
