What does Scouting do for youth?
Scouting volunteers have provided generations of Canadian youth with a first opportunity to sleep in a tent, to experience leadership and to build self-reliance and self-confidence volunteer dedication, resourcefulness and enthusiasm are vital to Scouting.
Why is Scouting a great volunteer experience?
Many people are looking for ways to develop skills that help them achieve personal and professional goals. Scouting has a long tradition of providing such opportunities.
- A full trained leader has taken approximately 50 hours of on-line and experiential learning in understanding youth, program planning, leadership and risk management
- Scouting offers many opportunities to develop marketing, communication, financial management and fundraising skills
- Scouts Canada also offers excellent volunteer development courses
- Volunteering for Scouts Canada counts towards the community service requirements for many high schools and colleges
How do I volunteer with Scouts Canada?
It's easy... We'll help you every step of the way. You'll receive a personal interview, provide us with personal references, and apply for a Police Records Check. With one-on-one help from an experienced coach, you'll participate in a three-month orientation and probation period where you'll learn all the basics to help you provide great programs for youth. Once you become a leader, you're provided with further training and plenty of tools and support to help you on your way. You can attend courses and workshops, you'll receive Scouting Life magazine and you can find lots of online resources.
If you can commit any time at all (even just one meeting a month!), you can make a difference in the lives of many kids, and help shape a better world for tomorrow.
Get the process started by downloading your application form and contacting us so we can arrange a place and time to meet with you. You could also stop by one of our meetings to see what it's all about. To find out where and when we meet, click on the section above (Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, etc) then click on the event calendar link.
Your help is GREATLY appreciated!
