26th Halifax Scouting
Our Scout Troop wrapped up its regular meetings until September this past Thursday. There was gear inventory and storage, planning for some summer activities and next year's program.
This summer, we're looking at a movie night, some hiking, a skills camp and a STEM activity at Dalhousie. We'll firm up plans soon.
For next fall/winter, the scouts came up with lots of ideas and are interested in doing things such as:
- Snorkeling
- Sailing/canoeing
- Jamboree on the Internet
- Scoutrees/tree planting
- Swimming activities
- Scuba experience
- Learning about forests/Silviculture
- Laser tag
- Fishing
- Snowshoeing
- A mid-night hike
- Building shelters and sleeping in them
Also - more intramural-type sports and games... and much more...
We'll see what we can make happen, but it looks like it's going to be a great year!

HRM to plant 1,300 trees this summer
Read the full story and comment on HalifaxToday.This is an article about Scouting in the UK, but it's something we love to see! We are actively recruiting females to our programs, particularly Cubs and Scouts (Beavers is at capacity already!) for the coming year.
If you have, or know of, a younger female (8-10 for Cubs, 11-14 for Scouts) who would like to check out our program, let us know!
Our programs are very active, with a lot of fun and adventure. Some adventures include hikes, camps and more outdoors experiences, others include visiting interesting organizations throughout Halifax - going to see places that normally others don't get to see - and doing activities related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) and arts.
We think it's the best youth program going (but we are biased!) - and we welcome more girls to join us!!
Fun fact - Scouts Canada has been co-ed since 1992. 🙂
Scouting for girls gives group its biggest boost in years
Nearly a third of beavers, cubs and scouts are now female after Baden Powell’s boy-only rule was dropped in 2007A couple of weeks ago our Scouts helped out at Mission Mart, a local non-profit store in support of Soul's Harbour!
