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.
We recognize volunteering isn’t one-size-fits-all. Many people volunteer to use their talents and expertise to make a positive impact in different ways. Whatever you are able to contribute, there’s a role that suits your strengths.
What we do:
Our mission as Scouters is to contribute to the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of their local, national and international communities through the application of our Principles and Practices.
Scouting is based on three broad principles which represent its fundamental beliefs. These include:
Duty to God: Defined as, Adherence to spiritual principles, loyalty to the religion that expresses them and acceptance of the duties resulting therefrom.
Duty to Others: Defined as, Loyalty to one's country in harmony with the promotion of local, national and international peace, understanding and cooperation, and Participation in the development of society, with recognition and respect for the dignity of one's fellow-being and for the integrity of the natural world.
Duty to Self: Defined as, Responsibility for the development of oneself. This is in harmony with the educational purpose of the Scout Movement whose aim is to assist young people in the full development of their potentials.
Our motto:
Be Prepared.
Our 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.
Our law:
A Scout is helpful and trustworthy,
kind and cheerful,
considerate and clean,
wise in the use of all resources.
