Scouts Kamloops

Scout-Guide Week was introduced over 40 years ago to celebrate the birthdays of Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting Movement and his wife, the World Chief Guide, Lady Olave Baden-Powell. This year’s Scout-Guide Week runs from February 19 – 26.

Scouts Canada, the country’s leading youth organization, has more than 100,000 members nationwide representing every faith and culture. Scouts Canada groups offer programming in more than 19 languages reflecting Canada’s multicultural landscape and communities. Kids in Scouts have fun adventures discovering new things and experiences they wouldn’t discover elsewhere. Along the way, they develop into capable, confident and well-rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world. For tens of thousands of children and youth across Canada, Scouts is the start of something great. For more information visit scouts.ca.

The Kamloops Area Beaver Scouts and Cubs Scouts participated in the 2011 Santa Parade on Saturday Morning. Our thanks to Art Knapp’s for sponsoring the float again this year.

The Kamloops Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, and Venturer Scouts participated in the 2011 Remembrance Day Ceremony and Parade. The Kamloops Area “Couteau” Scouts arrived early to hand out programs again this year. Kamloops Scouts assisted in smaller ceremonies. For instance, a Patrol of Couteau Scouts participated in the ceremony at The Hamlets at Westsyde Assisted Living Centre.

Parents, Guardians, Supporters and Youth

Each fall the Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts & Venturer Scouts generate the funds they need to run their programs from the sale of Scout Popcorn. As a result your youth have better Scouting experiences. We hope you will support your youth as they go about funding their Scouting programs through the sale of Scout Popcorn.

An amazing 60% of the selling price of Scout Popcorn goes directly to funding Scouting in Canada.
