What

As part of the Scout program, girls and boys, ages 11 to 14, are involved in many activities including:

• Day trips in the outdoors (e.g. outdoor games, community hikes)

• Overnight camps / weekend camps (e.g. Scout Amik winter camp, area camps, group camps)

• Gatherings with other Scout Troops (Wilderness Challenge, Klondike Derby, City Rally)

• Visits to special places (such as climbing wall, museum, nature centre)

• Fundraising (e.g. Scout Trees, Scout Popcorn, Christmas trees)

• Public events (e.g., professional hockey or ball game, Scout-Guide Week events)

• Indoor and outdoor games, crafts and songs

• Hiding and finding geocaches

Scouts meet in a group called a troop.Each Scout learns a promise, law and motto to help guide their personal development. Scouts are "invested" into a troop by making the Scout Promise. The promise, along with a corresponding motto and law, are reinforced at weekly meetings.

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 time,

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
