The Scout Program

Paddling at Haliburton Scout Reserve

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 around a lively variety of activities based on personal and group interests. Scouting emphasizes outdoor and environmental activities, citizenship and community service, leadership, and personal development. Individual interests and skills are recognized through an awards system.

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.

Sea Scouts meet in a group called a Ship’s Company. The troop is split into smaller groups called Boat Crews.
