Why I work at Scouts Canada...

Let's Hear from Our Employees

I love working at Scouts Canada because I love working for a mission-driven organization. I love that we are helping youth discover what they are capable of and connecting with their community. My role offers me flexibility in my day, which allows me to achieve a better work-life balance I feel like Scouts Canada values me as a person with a family and life outside our work and has been supportive throughout my career. I enjoy the more casual working atmosphere, which includes working from home and enjoy seeing my colleagues’ families and pets popping into our meetings and calls, which makes for a fun and less stressful working environment.

Scouting Testimonial by Karolina Marciniak

From Day 1, I have felt a sense of belonging on a team where everyone is involved with everyone else’s success. I know I can ask anything to anyone, and not feel like I am interrupting their day. The level of assistance has been tremendous, and I feel genuinely connected to the people I work with, despite working remotely. Not only are they helpful, but they also have a sense of play that is welcoming and helps give purpose to why we do what we do.
