It starts with Scouts

IT STARTS WITH SCOUTS
Our Mission
To help develop well-rounded youth, better prepared for success in the world.
Our Vision
Canadian youth making a meaningful contribution to creating a better world.
For over 100 years, Scouts have experienced countless “firsts” through outdoor adventure and fun. Scouting youth also have a strong sense of civic responsibility and environmental awareness. From food and clothing drives to shoreline clean-ups and maintenance, Scouts encourages youth to give back. Contributing to communities across the country, Scouts help build a better Canada as active citizens creating positive change.
THE SCOUT METHOD
Scouts Canada engages youth, involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process, using a specific Method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person. The Scout Method is an approach unique to Scouting throughout the world (World Association of the Scouting Movement’s Scouting: An Educational System) and includes each of the following eight elements:
- Scout Law and Promise
- Learning by Doing
- The Team System
- A Symbolic Framework
- Nature
- Personal Progression
- Adult Support
- Community Involvement
