Scouting Sections
Scouts Canada organizes youth into age-based sections, each designed to deliver age-appropriate adventures, skills, and experiences. Find the right section for your child below.
Beavers is the first section of Scouts Canada, designed for children aged 5 to 7. Beavers explore the world around them through fun, hands-on activities, crafts, games, and outdoor adventures. It's all about curiosity, friendship, and discovering new things.
Cubs is for youth aged 8 to 10. Cub Scouts take on bigger challenges and adventures, developing teamwork, leadership, and outdoor skills. Cubs work together on projects, earn badges, and go on exciting camps and hikes.
The Scouts section is for youth aged 11 to 14. This is where youth-led adventure really takes off. Scouts plan and lead their own activities, tackle challenging outdoor expeditions, and develop real-world skills in navigation, first aid, and more.
Venturers are youth aged 15 to 17 who take on high-adventure activities and meaningful community projects. Venturers have significant autonomy in planning their program, developing strong leadership and life skills along the way.
