Scouts Canada’s Newfoundland & Labrador Council is looking for volunteers (18+) to join our Scouting groups all across the province!  The Scouts Canada program is open to BOTH boys and girls, ages 5-26, with age-specific programming.  To ensure the success of these programs, we need the support of dedicated volunteers, just like you!  You don’t even need to have kids in the program, just an interest in youth development and the great outdoors!

Many of our current groups could benefit from additional volunteers, willing to dedicate approximately 10-12 hours/month to the program, generally from September-June, and some groups offer occasional summer activities.

If you’re interested in starting your adventure with Scouts Canada, contact William Short at william.short@scouts.ca or call 709-687-2888.
