Welcome

What do Scouts Do, and why should we Join?

As a parent, you may have come to this site wondering what scouts is all about, and why your child would benefit from their time in the worldwide scouting movement. Well, if you want information about all the 'big' ideals of scouts.

All the sections partake in Camps. The beavers do at least one sleep over per year, the timber wolf at least three, and the explorers at least three. Most people associate Scouting with camping, and we definitely do that, but in addition to camping and the outdoors, here are some of the other fun activities our groups have done:

We would like to Welcome you to our program. The Crossroads 36 Scouting Group started way back in 1965 in the Crossroads Community in NE Calgary. Since that time we have provided 100's of youth a great scouting experiences.  In 2020 our group moved to the BPSA movement, to reflect the dynamics of our community we serve.  move infomation at https://www.bpsa-ab.ca/
