However, on-line registration at myscouts.ca is required.  Parents of those in Cub Scout Pack (age 8-10) and Scout Troop (age 11-14) can also inquire about registration of youth for the annual Wilderness Challenge Camp, typically held around the end of September at Camp Amisk.

Parents, in the event you are unable to register on line, or would like a chance to speak to group leaders, please attend the open house.

The Open House runs for two evenings (Monday and Wednesday).  However, if you cannot make it out, please contact us at 67thwpg@gmail.com for information on the Scouting program and how to register.

Until December 31, 2019, an annual Scouts Canada registration fee of $230 for each youth applies. For registrations on/after January 1, 2020 a discounted rate may apply.  Registrations will be valid until August 31, 2020.
