Scouting Out
Special Places Around You

Your area has stories to tell­—whether you live in a big city, small town, near the ocean or far inland. For the Great Canadian Scouting Adventure, we’ll be discovering places across Canada in particular.

Get ready to explore:

National Parks 

National Parks, parks managed by the Government of Canada, that protect our beautiful and natural ecosystems.

National Historic Sites 

National Historic Sites, protected places where the history of Canada comes alive.

World Heritage Sites

There are other parks and sites that won’t be included above but are just as important. They might be landmarks, museums, galleries, regional or provincial parks around you.
