Reconciliation Journey

Scouts Canada's Commitment to Reconciliation

Our ​commitment to Equity, Inclusion, anti-racism, and Reconciliation involves a lot of important work evaluating our Scouting history and current practices to create an authentic way forward.

We are excited to ground this commitment in a core starting point — self awareness and self-evaluation of our Scouting Movement's past, present, so we can design an exciting future together. We are excited to have you join us in this process, and create a movement that truly welcomes all who want to join, inside and out.

As we build awareness and acknowledgement of our history, we are grateful to our Reconciliation Advisors. Scouting is a land-based program, so we value their specific insights and guidance for the Scouting community to start this process, and support an authentic journey towards both Reconciliation and Equity that is both local and personal.

Truth: Acknowledging Scouting History In Canada

Over the last year, Scouts Canada has worked with Indigenous Advisors and Canadian historians to uncover the difficult truths behind the origins of Scouting in Canada, the colonial framework from which it was developed and the intent of its program, specifically as it relates to Indigenous youth.
