A country as big as Canada has a lot of stories to tell. The Great Canadian Scouting Adventure is your chance to explore the wonders of the natural world and the rich history all around us.
On this page you’ll find all sorts of fun activities to learn more about the special places we value and protect — including parks, historic sites and sites so unique and special, that they are international treasures.
Whether with your Scout Group, family or on your own, try out some of the games and activities below. Learn about incredible animals by guessing their sounds, discover your perfect job working in parks by taking our career quiz, or design a postcard of a special place to mail to a friend.
Don’t stop here — a great adventure awaits you when you commit to take action! We’ll send you a commemorative crest to celebrate the work you are doing through Scouting to make your community a better place for everyone. Share your project on our interactive Scouts for Sustainability Take Action map and connect the dots between your action and the rest of your amazing adventures on the Canadian Path.
