POSITION STATEMENTS (Leadership, Healthy Active Living and Environment)

Leadership, healthy active living and a clean environment are outcomes from Scouts Canada’s programs and practices. These outcomes are current topics of conversation at all levels of government, and in businesses and communities. With these new position statements helping to guide them, our program leaders will lead the next generation of Scouting youth as they become good citizens of Canada.
