LEVELS
OF SCOUTS CANADA
Scouting
emphasizes having fun while encouraging youth to feel
good about themselves, their friends and family, God,
and the environment. The different sections help
youth expand their leadership skills and gain self
confidence for their age group.
Scouting promotes activities
that encourage youth to:
- express and respond to their
own spiritual values and beliefs while showing concern
for others
- develop self reliance
- pursue hobbies and personal
interests
- develop self discipline
and the skills of working cooperatively with others
- cooperate in setting and
achieving small group and personal goals
- practice leadership skills
- relate with adults
- be of service to others
- camp, explore the outdoors,
and develop good conservation practices
The outdoors is an essential part
of the Scouting program. Weekend events, extended
hikes, no trace camping and seasonal sports opportunities
round out the Scout experience. Developing an active,
healthy lifestyle is the prime goal. This is emphasized
by outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship
and community service, leadership, and personal development.
Individual interests and skills are recognized through
an awards system.
