Scouts

Who Are Scouts?

Scouts are boys and girls aged 11-14 years.  They are learning to blaze their own trail, jumping into more leadership opportunities by planning adventures and giving back to their community in meaningful ways. Through Scouts, youth discover their unique capabilities and personal progression as they discover the world through Scouting.

A Scout Section is called a “Troop” and youth within a Troop are organized into smaller teams called “Patrols”.  The motto for Scouts is: Be Prepared. 

Scout Motto:  Be Prepared
Scout Law:  A Scout is helpful and trustworthy, kind and cheerful, considerate and clean, wise in the use of all resources.
Scout Promise:  On my honour; I promise that I will do my best; To do my duty to God and the King; To help other people at all times; and to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.  OR  On my honour; I promise that I will do my best; To respect my country and my beliefs; To help other people at all times; and to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.  

Camping

Scouts will have a chance to attend at least 1 virtual at home camp per year where they will interact online with their Scouters and peers, while completing specific activities, hikes and other events with their family.  They will also have an opportunity to camp in-person at a summer composite camp.

Scout Truck Competition

Scout Truck Races take place mid to late February or March. All youth will receive a truck kit.  Time for designing the Truck will be given at a meeting.  Depending on the tools available at home for each youth, help will be provided to shape the vehicle.  Time will then be given in a meeting or two in order to assemble and decorate the Truck.  We will then have an opportunity to race the trucks in-person.  Travelling may be required, but we will find the closest races available to each of your home locations.

Fundraising

Scouts are encouraged to do their best to help with our fundraisers throughout the year.  This helps keep costs as low as possible and enable us to book special virtual meetings and other items with extra costs.  In-person camp costs are in addition to previous funds and fees collected and your support in fundraising will help lesson these costs.
