Open Call for Youth Advisors:

DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION TEAM

Are you passionate about ensuring that Scouting is something all people can participate in and enjoy? Do you want to be a part of a team that is actively working to bring a youth voice and perspective into major conversations around various DEI Initiatives within Scouts Canada? Are you interested in working alongside other youth, Scouters, Scouts Canada Staff, and various subject matter experts to promote and support the inclusive and engaging kind of scouting environment that we all want to see happening?

The Scouts Canada DEI team is looking to assemble a team of youth who will meet regularly to discuss and collaborate on a variety of topics and initiatives surrounding current DEI concerns, with the goal of bringing a strong youth perspective to DEI work in scouting. We want to hear everyone’s perspectives, regardless of knowledge or background, since everyone’s voice is important and diversity is crucial to this conversation.

As long as you are passionate about improving the scouting experience, we can teach you everything else that you need to know. Being a part of this team will provide you with the opportunity to regularly meet with other youth to discuss and collaborate on various initiatives, and to participate alongside scouters, staff, and subject matter experts within our champion task teams which are currently operating under the DEI team. Meetings will be happening on a monthly basis, dates/times are to be determined.
