As a Scouter, your role is one of assisting, supporting, facilitating and motivating. It’s a chance to engage with youth by empowering them to lead their personal progression, discovering their capability and independence within a safe and inclusive environment.

Volunteering with Scouts Canada is easy, fun and flexible.

You will be supported by a team of dynamic adults who get as much fun out of Scouting adventures as the youth they mentor. We provide the training and adventure. You provide the enthusiasm.

Volunteer Scouters play a critical role in providing a safe and enriching environment for youth to develop, and our comprehensive screening and training process ensures that all members are safe from harm at all times. You will officially become a Scouter and a member of Scouts Canada once you have completed the screening and training.
