Purpose of Scouting:

The purpose of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens, and as members of their local, national, and international communities.

Scouting delivers to our communities resilient young people who have gained leadership experience, are physically active and who care for others.

The Youth Program:
The (new) Youth Program is made up of many different exciting elements that build on each other – each designed to increase the fun, adventure, challenge & inclusiveness in our program. We encourage everyone – Leaders, Scouts, parents and supporters to explore the elements throughout the Youth Program Website and the available resources.
