Volunteer
Scouting needs dedicated volunteers to help provide fun and exciting adventures to our youth. You can get involved as a leader working with your child and other children in the community, or as an administrative support volunteer working behind the scenes. All of the training and resources you need are provided to help provide the adventure of a lifetime.
There are Lots of Different Roles
There are many different volunteer roles for all interests and abilities:
- Leaders work directly with the youth providing weekly programs
- Group Committee volunteers help with the administration of a Scouting group, including registration, fundraising, and providing service and support to leaders
- Parents can get involved as casual helpers, assisting at occasional meetings or camps, or taking on a specific short-term task.
Why Volunteer?
There are lots of reasons to volunteer! Of course, you'll receive the satisfaction of helping youth enjoy fun and fulfilling adventures with their friends. You can enjoy valuable time with your own children in Scouting. Through training and skills development workshops, you may pick up talents to help you in your home or work life. And as a part of a leadership team, you'll also meet and work with other dedicated volunteers who share your commitment to young people and the community.
The best reason is because it's fun!
Training and Resources
Scouts Canada offers all the tools you need to be comfortable and successful in your role. All it takes is a willingness to learn. Informal coaching and mentoring, various training courses and workshops, excellent handbooks and electronic resources, a monthly magazine, and an informative website will help you provide vibrant and dynamic programs.
