Scouting at Home

Scouting at Home is an online collection of fun adventures for youth—and it’s growing every week! Each edition is full of fun games and activities youth of all ages can try at home on their own or with their families. There’s an exciting new theme every week!

Not a member of Scouts Canada? That’s not a problem! You’ll soon discover there’s no need to be familiar with Scouting to enjoy the activities. 

If you’re a Scouter, you’ll find great advice on how to stay connected with your Section and support continued programming.

Don’t forget to share your Scouting activities by posting a photo on social media! #ScoutsDoStuff

Sign up for your weekly adventure!

We recognize that a change to online and at home activities does create a vulnerability for some children especially those in difficult or at-risk living conditions. In line with our safety culture and values, Scouts Canada continues to prioritize safety and offers support by providing access to various experts and resources. We encourage kids to reach out to Kids Help Phone (1-800-668-6868) for 24/7 counselling. You can also visit Cybertip.ca for best practices on internet safety or review Scouts Canada’s Safety Tips on cyber safety and social media.

As always, be sure to keep the Two-Scouter Rule in mind, whether engaging in online conversations through email, virtual conversations with other Scouts or on social media, and by phone.
