Registration for the 2025 Scouting Year is now Open!

From September 8th through 14th, only groups in BC and Alberta could register.  From September 15th through 21st, only groups in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec can register. From September 22nd on, anyone can register.

Most of our sections (age groups) had big waiting lists, some of them from a year ago, so if you went on a waitlist, you may take a week or more before your child's waitlist entry will become active. Once your section is full, we will reach out to anyone still on the waitlist and explain your options.

When your turn to register from the waitlist comes, you will get an email and have 48 hours to respond. Please check your junk folder to ensure that you don't miss out on the opportunity.

Please note that we do NOT have any control over the registration process.  If something appears not to be working, click on the big "SUPPORT" button or email helpcentre@scouts.ca for assistance.

World Scout Jamboree 2027 Poland

 The World Scout Jamboree is a major international event organised by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM). Held every four years, it brings together tens of thousands of Scouts, aged 14 to 17, from around the globe to promote cultural exchange, friendship, and adventure. The jamboree provides a unique opportunity for young people to learn from one another, develop leadership skills, and engage in outdoor activities while embracing the Scouting principles of community service, personal growth, and environmental stewardship.

The jamboree's program is packed with a variety of educational, recreational, and community service activities, including workshops, team-building exercises, and outdoor pursuits. These experiences help Scouts build a strong sense of global citizenship and foster a deeper understanding of different cultures, ultimately contributing to a more peaceful and connected world.

The first World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920 in London. With exceptions for the World War years and the Iranian Revolution, it has been organised every four years in different locations across the world.
In 2027 Poland will host the jamboree for the first time in the history welcoming more than 50,000 Scouts in Gdańsk

London Bridge is down

We’re deeply saddened by the death of  HM The Queen.

4SW Group Fall 2022

Registration

Note: All youth who were registered as of June are registered through to the end of December.  The current registration cycle (Aug 15 to 31) is for existing members to register for the 2023 Scouts Canada registration year (January to December).  Starting September 1, registration for 2023 will open to the general public.  If you have not registered for 2023 by that time, it is likely that your spot will be taken by someone else. Please note that we do NOT control the registration process and cannot remedy that if you allow it to happen.

Starting Up - Location and Times

Our first meeting for all sections will be on Wednesday September 7th. 

Beavers:

Beavers will meet at Willingdon Church starting in the gym at 6:30 pm every Wednesday and ending at 7:30 pm in room 1240 (lower floor, northeast corner).

Cubs:

The normal meeting location for cubs will be Cascade Elementary School on Smith Avenue, but this location is not available for our first meeting, so that meeting will start in the gym at 7 pm (when the beavers leave for their downstairs room) and end at 8:35 in the two 1200 rooms downstairs.

Starting September 14, cubs will meet at Cascade Elementary School starting at 6:50 pm and ending at 8:35 pm.  The odd times are there to allow parents with youth in several sections to drop off at different locations and still be on time.  e.g. Drop a beaver off at 6:30 at Willingdon, drive to Cascade, drop a cub off at 6:50, drive to Willingdon and drop a scout or venturer off.

Scouts and Venturers:

Our meetings will be from 7 pm to 9 pm.

Because the cub pack can't use Cascade school on that first date, we will let them use the gym from 7 to 8 and we will start in the two 1200 rooms. We will switch with them at 8 pm.  The following and subsequent weeks we will simply meet in the gym as the beavers will be done with it by 7 pm.
