SCOUTS (Age 11-14)
Our age 11-14 group is Scouts, and it is all about having fun while gaining value leadership skills and self-confidence.Scouts enjoy outdoor adventures like mountain biking, rock climbing and lots of camping while working together with other young people to accomplish thrilling challenges.Our group also runs a yearly winter camp – a high-point of the year for our members! At Blackwater Lake near Pemberton, the group learns important survival skills, ice-fishing, navigation and snow caving.Scouting gives every member a chance to be a leader. It might involve running an activity, organizing a camp, or participating with other young people across your province or Canada in a youth forum.
Our Scout leaders Bob, Zoltan and Art, have introduced some great new activities and events to the group this year, including an international cultural exchange with a Scout group in Birmingham, England. |
