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.
Our Volunteer Registration Guide will walk you through the process.
Contact The Help Centre at helpcentre@scouts.ca with any question that you may have.

Registration for 2026
Getting your child to start great, safe Scouting adventures is as easy as 1-2-3. Enjoy a full year of Scouting, running January to December..
Registration fee for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Venturers is only $277 ($25 to our Group).
Rovers (age 18-26) are free!
The Scouting year is January to December. As of September 4, early registration for the 2026 Scouting year will open up to new possible members. By registering early, you might be able to start mid/end of September 2025 and your registration is good till December 2026. That said, starting in September will depend on if we are at our maximum numbers or no. If filled, then you can still pay to register, but will not be able to start until January 2026. The fee for 2026 will be $277. You may register online using a credit card at www.myscouts.ca.
Additional costs throughout the year include low fees for the weekend activities/camps and other special outings.

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.
Upcoming Events
Apple Days
Apple Day is our most important Fundraiser of the year. We give away apples. People may give us a donation.
Apple Day is scheduled for
- Saturday, October 4, 8 am - 1 pm
- Sunday, October 5, 8 am - 1 pm
- Saturday, October 11, 8 am - 1 pm
We have two locations to choose from:
- Tim Hortons - Bank St. / Blossom Park (across from Giant Tiger)
- Tim Hortons - Hunt Club & Lorry Greenberg
Apple Day is the traditional fundraising event that started right here in Canada! Through Apple Day youth receive donations from the public and present an apple in appreciation. Each Group has a designated area to canvass including neighbourhood stores and other traveled areas.
Our Goal for our Group is $3,000. Money raised during Apple Days go to our Scouting program help to pay for the rental of meeting locations, operating costs for camp (camp sites, propane, camp supplies, etc.), Leader Training, our Web Page account, our Flickr account, and administrative and craft supplies and so much more.
Spread the word!
Thank you for supporting your local Scouts Group.
