Above, are the names of the Adult Volunteers that work directly with your youth.

​

These people are here because they believe in helping youth to grow their potential and because they have fun doing it. 

 

A Scouters Primary responsibility is to deliver the programs as outlined in the Program Standards, and in the section-specific Leaders’ Handbook. Scouters work with both the other Scouters in the Sections and the youth to plan programs and share leadership within the program meetings, ensuring the youth are engaged, safe and, most importantly, having FUN! If there are questions or concerns you may have, your main contact is the Section Scouter.

 

If you have any concerns and you are not comfortable talking to a Section Scouter, please speak to the Group Commissioner or Area Commissioner.

 

All our volunteers are screened, have a Police Record Check (PRC) with Vulnerable Sector Search, and have taken specific training to work with your child.

This includes: 

• Child & Youth Safety training

• accessibility awareness training for people with disabilities,

• specific Scouting training for the section of their designation.

 

Volunteers have committed to a Code of Conduct.

We can ensure we deliver consistent, high quality, repeatable, safe, and fun programs.

 

Our Scouters work very hard in making sure that your child has the best Scouting experience possible; we need your help so that we can achieve this. 

 

IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER: 

We have straight-forward guidelines and a Code of Conduct that has to be respected:

 

• Our Scouters always work in pairs. Back-up is always important with our volunteers.

• If they are short in support we may need you to help; however, we always have a minimum of two Scouters working with our youth.

• Scouters will email parents only; if youth are to be emailed, a parent must be copied.

• Our Scouters will never turn down your help – in fact, they’ll encourage it. We’ve found that many hands make for a more fulfilling experience for both youth and parents. You may be required to complete some safety training depending on your level of involvement, but it’s free, online, and would not take more than a few hours to complete.
