More Scouts Canada volunteers are needed in southern Alberta and across the country as numerous youth face waitlists due to high demand.
Graham Rice, a volunteer with the 215th Strathcona group in southwest Calgary, said in terms of volunteers, they can always use more.
There are about 5,000 youth across Canada on the waitlist to join scouts, 380 of which are in southern Alberta — mostly between five and 10 years old.
