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 to develop skills that help achieve personal and professional goals.
Scouting has a long tradition of providing such opportunities.

How do I volunteer with my Area Council?
Becoming a volunteer with your Area Council start with volunteering with Scouts Canada. This is a multi-step process and we are here to help you every step of the way. The process includes a personal interview, the provision of three personal references, and a Police Record 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.

If you can commit 12 - 14 hours per month, you can make a difference in the lives of many kids.
Get the process started by contacting the local Scouting council and
downloading your application form or emailing join@scouts.ca.

Scouts Canada encourages applications from all qualified candidates.
