Adult Volunteers needed
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.
Get the process started by opening a myscouts account and completing the registration form or emailing join@scouts.ca.
Our Volunteer Registration Guide below will walk you through the process. We will direct your application to your local Council office. Scouts Canada has a great record of accommodating persons with disabilities.
Contact The Help Centre at helpcentre@scouts.ca with any question that you may have.

Personal Achievement for Rover Scouts
Your personal journey as a Rover Scout is all about setting and achieving goals that matter to you, all with the valuable support of a mentor. It is by following a cycle of Personal Development Plans that you make your way to The Portage – the final leg of your Rover Scout journey. Unlike in other Sections, your personal progression in Rover Scouts is not recognized with a badge. The journey is its own reward.
However, as a Rover Scout there are a number of awards that you can pursue, including the Canadian Rover Scout Award – the Top Section Award for the Rover Scout Section. You can also progress in the Outdoor Adventure Skills, explore your faith and achieve the Religion in Life award, earn the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and demonstrate your proficiency in a second language to achieve your Language Strip.

Scout Coffee Fundraising
Our year-round campaign has reloaded!
What if by buying coffee, you could support your nephew, niece or neighbor? What if that next bag of coffee could support Scouts in learning new skills, making new friends, andbecoming better leaders?
For all you coffee aficionados out there (or javaphiles, as some are called), our coffee masters have returned from the finest terroirs in the world to bring you our amazing blends...:)
For every bag of coffee purchased, over 40% of your money is returned to Scouting. During checkout, you can choose to have this money go towards supporting your local Scouting group and the No One Left Behind campaign OR you can choose to support the No One Left Behind campaign only. The No One Left Behind (NOLB) campaign provides children and youth from low-income families with the opportunity to participate in Scouting.
We thank you for your unwavering support or our program!
