About Us
Who we are
Paddle Your Own Canoe
In a Crew of young adults aged 18-26, Rovers enjoy fun and challenging expeditions with their peers. Driving their personal ambitions with support from a mentor, Rovers are better prepared for success. The world awaits!
Through portage expeditions, backpacking trips, international service projects, mentored personal progression and more, Rover Scouts take their Scouting journey to the next level with thrilling opportunities.
Throughout their journey Rover Scouts are given the chance to take responsibility for themselves while still respecting the needs of others. Embarking on unique expeditions with peers who share their values, Rover Scouts challenge themselves with personal goals for future success with support from a mentor.

The Scout Method
Scouts Canada engages youth, involving them throughout their formative years in a non-formal educational process, using a specific Method that makes each individual the principal agent of his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive, responsible and committed person. The Scout Method is an approach unique to Scouting throughout the world (World Association of the Scouting Movement’s Scouting: An Educational System) and includes each of the following eight elements:
- Scout Law and Promise
- Learning by Doing
- The Team System
- A Symbolic Framework
- Nature
- Personal Progression
- Adult Support
- Community Involvement
The Scout Law
A Scout is helpful and trustworthy,
Kind and cheerful,
Considerate and clean,
and wise in the use of all resources.
Scout Promise
On my honour;
I promise that I will do my best;
To do my duty to God and the King;
To help other people at all times;
and to carry out the spirit of the Scout Law.
