The Scouts program in the pas began over 100 years ago back in 1917.

 

Jana Harms also knows as Scout Master Icky shares details about the program.

 

"Scouts Canada has been around for over 100 years.
Lord Baden Powell developed the scouting philosophy with this concept that young people should be prepared to become responsible citizens. So Scouts is a sort of informal education program and it's really rooted with outdoor activity and nature and it's just a great nature based learning. So there's value placed on becoming community minded and doing good turnsor good deeds for others."
 

Some of the activities that Scouts do weekly include compass work, map work, knot tying, fire building, first aid safety and much more supporting an active lifestyle.

 

The Scouts do have opening and encourage youth to join in at weekly meetings taking place at the united church Wednesday nights.
