Scouting is growing in popularity, with increasing
numbers of boys and girls joining our adventure-based
programs. As they progress through Scouting’s unique challenges
and adventures, kids develop into confident and capable
individuals.
But the demand from young people far exceeds the numbers of adult
volunteers we have available to help. Each year, thousands of youth in
your community sit on waiting lists, hoping to join their friends.
We need your help to allow more young people to experience the
challenge and adventure of Scouting. At the same time, we’ll help
you challenge yourself.
ARE YOU LOOKING TO BUILD YOUR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND EXPAND YOUR NETWORK?
Besides helping young people to develop and grow through first-
time adventures, our volunteers are exposed to a wide range of
different activities and new experiences themselves. You don’t need
previous experience in Scouting, just energy and enthusiasm.
Are you a student looking for an internship that aligns with your
educational path, or a recent grad trying to kick-start a career? We
have Scout Groups that can give you hand-on experience. Preparing
for a professional designation in accounting? Consider serving as a
Group Treasurer to keep your skills sharp.
Given our size and scope, Scouts Canada can offer a big range of
opportunities to develop your skills, expand your network and
enhance your CV.
Why do I volunteer? To see the smiles on their faces when
they complete something new. I’m also learning every day
and having a blast.“
”
I’m giving youth opportunities to gain the life experiences that
they can’t get anywhere else. It give me a reason to always be on
my ‘A’ game.“ ”WONDERING HOW YOU CAN HELP GIRLS AND BOYS ON THEIR LIFE JOURNEY?
Whatever your age, abilities and skills, there are many ways in which
you can give your time to help Scouting. Most of our volunteers have
full-time jobs or study and help out on a flexible basis, working around
their other commitments.
Have a passion for the outdoors or a specific activity like biking, canoeing or
climbing? You could work as a resource Scouter with multiple groups and
introduce a new generation to your sport. It only takes a few hours a week
or one day a month.
We need volunteers to help young people experience the challenge
and adventure of Scouting. Simply let us know your
availability and how much you would like
to help and we will match this
to roles within your
local area.
DO YOU WANT TO GIVE BACK TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND SEE RESULTS EACH TIME YOU CONTRIBUTE?
It seems like almost every day, I draw on the skills and
experiences I’ve gained through Scouting in my professional life.“ ”
