How do I find a Scouts Canada property that fits my needs?

Our properties offer a variety of adventures for diverse Scouting Groups and third party, like-minded and youth-based organizations across Canada, featuring a wide range of accommodations, from train cabooses and cabins to tenting sites, adirondack shelters, fields, and kitchens with appliances! Every property is unique; some specialize/also provide activity options indoor and outdoor programming, including but not limited to archery, axe throwing, canoeing, kayaking, and showshoeing!

Scouts Canada properties are reserved for Actively Registered Scouting members and third party, like-minded/youth-based charitable organizations on an approval basis. Personal usage/private camping is not permitted at Scouts Canada properties
