The 403rd Toronto Scouts officially became Sea Scouts on April 21, 2011.
Location
In the winter, the 403TO Sea Scouts, meet at 188 Carlton Street on Thursdays from 7-9:00pm.
In May and June and September we meet at Queen City Yacht Club on Algonquin Island. Times vary by activity, but in June are from 5-9pm for sailing.
The Scout Program
The Scout program emphasizes having fun while learning by doing. We aim to youth expand their leadership skills and gain self confidence. As Sea Scouts, we are Scouts with an extra focus on water activities: canoeing, sailing, swimming, etc.
The program is designed in co-operation with you, the Scouts, around a lively variety of activities including outdoor skills, environmental concerns, citizenship, community service, leadership, and personal development.
The outdoors is an essential part of the Scout program and water activities are essential to a Sea Scout program. Weekend events, canoe trips, hikes, no trace camping and seasonal activities round out the Scout experience. Developing an active, healthy lifestyle is a prime goal. We are out at least 4 weekends a year and more usually 6 and will go to summer camp for a week and many will participate in sailing camp for two weeks.
You will have a chance to:
- camp, explore the outdoors, and develop good conservation practices
- develop self discipline and work in a team
- improve your community
- set and achieve group and personal goals
- practise leadership skills
- express and respond to your own values and beliefs while showing respect for others
