The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the
education of young people, through a value system based on the
Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people
are self-fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in
society.
Scouting looks after our youth members
- we conduct screening of all adults involved in the program,
provide training and risk management to leaders, and insurance for
program activities.
Volunteer Screening - we have a
volunteer screening program in place to ensure the safety and
protection of children in our care. All new applications are
screened through an interview and reference checks and are required
to provide police record checks.
Duty of Care - the primary
responsibility of adults in the Scout Movement is the welfare and
development of youth members. To help guide our volunteers, a Code
of Conduct has been developed.
Program Quality Standards - we have
developed a set of program standards to ensure that a quality
program is provided to our youth.
Scouting - A Family Affair! - Scouting
is one of the few community activities which welcomes
all members of the family.
Here are Ten Reasons why you should consider Scouting as your choice for a youth
extra curricular program
- Months of fun programming a year at a
modest cost (getting the most value for your dollar)
- Events with an outdoor Focus - hikes,
camp outs, canoe trips
- Meeting friends in a relaxed and fun
atmosphere
- Developing personal character and
skill with adult supervision
- Learning cooperation by participating
in small group activities
- Fun and challenging
program
- Develop new camping and outdoor
skills
- Meet new friends
- Opportunities to share adventures
with parents
- Make memories you will share forever.
Scouting is one of the few community
activities which welcomes all members of
the family. For over 90 years, Scouting has depended on volunteers,
families and community support to keep costs down and the program
interesting.
