    Scouts Canada est l'association scoute canadienne qui, en affiliation avec l'Association des Scouts du Canada, est membre de l'organisation mondiale du mouvement scout (OMMS). Scouts Canada est ouvert aux garçons et aux filles de 5 à 26 ans.

    Programme

    Tranches d'âge

    Scouts Canada possède cinq tranches d'âge.

    Les tranches d'âges sont ouvertes aux garçons comme aux filles.

    Programme spéciaux

    • MedVents (Medical Venturers - Pionniers médecins) est un nouveau programme qui consiste à permettre aux pionniers et aux routiers d'apprendre et d'apporter des premiers secours.[1]

    Programmes à court-termes

    SCOUTSabout

    Le programme SCOUTSabout (en français "presque scout") a pour but de faire découvrir le scoutisme aux enfants qui ne font pas partie d'un mouvement scout.[2] SCOUTSabout se déroule sur des modules d'une durée de trois mois, souvent après l'école, pour correspondre aux familles qui ne peuvent ou ne veulent participer à des activités annuelles.[2][3] Basé sur des thèmes, l'accent est mis sur le jeu et l'apprentissage par l'expérience sans uniforme, badge ou insignes, ou cérémonie.[2][3] Ce programme est ouvert aux enfants entre 5 et 10 ans.[2][3]

    Aventure extrême

    Extreme Adventure offre l'opportunité aux jeunes gens de 14 à 17 ans d'organiser et de participer à de multiples et courtes activités basées sur l'aventure.[3]
    Exemple: Example activities are:

    • randonnée,
    • campisme de longue durée;
    • voyages à l'étranger pour participer à des projets humanitaires[3]

    Le programme cherche à réaliser la mission scoute avec des non-scouts[2]. Il n'y a ni uniforme, ni cérémonie associée à ce programme.[2]. Il est pensé pour inclure le développement de capacités de leadership, d'estime de soi, et de participer à des projets communautaires, accessibles aussi par les programmes classiques[2]. Extreme Adventure est basée sur le concours Venture Amory Adventure[2]

    Récompenses principales

    Scouts Canada possède plusieurs récompenses majeurs:

    • Le Badge de chef scout a été créé en 1973 comme le plus haut dans la tranche d'âge Scout.
    • Le Badge du pionnier de la Reine est la plus haute récompense pour la tranche d'âge Venturer. En 1968, l'âge maximam pour la tranche Scout a été réduite de 17 à 14 ans, et la section Venturer fut créé pour les 14-17 ans. A partir de ces changements, le Queen's Scout rank fut remplacé par le Badge du pionnier de la Reine.
    • Le badge Amory Adventure est décerné à la troupe Venturer qui aura montré le plus d'initiative lors de la conception, de la préparation et de l'exécution d'une aventure en extérieur.

    Camps

    Scouts Canada runs the Canadian Scout Jamboree (also known as "CJ"). The most recent Jamboree was CJ'07.

    Scouts Canada operates about 200 Scout camps across Canada.[4] Well-known camps include Impeesa Extreme, Haliburton Scout Reserve and Tamaracouta Scout Reserve. The Tamaracouta Scout Reserve is the oldest continually operating Scout camp in the world.

    History

    In the spring of 1908, just months after the book Scouting for Boys was published in England, Scouting came to Canada. Robert Baden-Powell wrote to Earl Grey, then Governor General of Canada, in 1910 to ask him to organize Scouting in Canada. Scouting was carried on as part of The Boy Scouts Association Overseas Department until The Canadian General Council of the Boy Scout Association was incorporated by an Act of the Canadian Parliament on June 12, 1914. The Canadian General Council continued to be a branch of the Boy Scout Association until October 30, 1946, when it became an independent member of the Boy Scout World Conference, now the World Organization of the Scout Movement. A subsequent amendment to the Act of Parliament changed the name to Boy Scouts of Canada. In 1976 the Scouts Canada logo was introduced and the organization, by its By-laws, adopted the name Scouts Canada. In 2007 The Boy Scouts of Canada legally changed its name to Scouts Canada.[5]

    In 1972, Scouts Canada began accepting female members as part of its Rover Section. This was expanded in 1984 to include the Venturer Section. In 1992, co-ed Scouting was an option for all program sections and became policy for all sections in 1998.

    Organization

    Scouts Canada is divided into twenty Councils, each representing a whole province or large part thereof. Each Council is headed by a Council Commissioner appointed by the Executive Commissioner (the top staff member reporting to the Board of Governors). Councils are divided into Areas, each headed by an Area Commissioner appointed by the Council Commissioner.[6]

    Scouts Canada has two affiliated Scout associations:

    Canada is the only country with more than one Scouting association separately recognized by WOSM. Scouts Canada and Association des Scouts du Canada are divided by language. Some other countries have more that one Scouting association but they sometimes form a national federation to receive joint WOSM membership. Scouts Canada and Association des Scouts du Canada send a joint delegation to meetings of the World Organization of the Scout Movement; this is coordinated through the Committee on Cooperation.

    Every Governor General since Earl Grey has been either the Chief Scout for Canada (prior to 1946) or Chief Scout of Canada (after 1946).

    Jamborees

    The Canadian Scout Jamboree or CJ is a jamboree run by Scouts Canada for members of the Scout and Venturer sections. The Jamboree is well known on the international Scouting scene, and will usually have several groups from other countries attending, most notable from the United States. The CJ that would normally have been held in 2005 was cancelled shortly after CJ'01 due to concerns about volunteer burnout. In 2004, CJ'07 was announced. CJ'07 is the first CJ planned to be held at a Scout camp.

    Issues

    Since the late 1960s, Scouts Canada has suffered from ongoing membership decline in all sections and among adults, especially in the transition between Cubs and Scouts. During this transition, Scouting's market share drops from between ten and fifteen percent of young people to less than two percent.

    Scouts Canada's 2006 Annual Report, published in November, 2006, reported an unfunded pension liability of over $5.8 million, other liabilities totaling 3.364 million (including bank indebtedness of $904,000). There is a reported operating surplus of $102,000 and restricted funds on hand of $641,000.[7] It appears to some people that Scouts Canada is turning its finances around[8]

    Scouts Canada conducted a property review in Ontario which concluded that 30 camps should be sold. The Scouts Canada Ontario Incorporated Body stated that they rated the camps against the following criteria: (1) usage level; (2) financial viability (cost of running property versus income from the property); (3) compliance with environmental, health and safety standards; (4) needs and wants of members (the outcome from youth and volunteer questionnaires); (5) facilities; (6) program resources; (7) program opportunities; (8) property features; (9) availability; (10) capacity; and (11) future direction. Camps were given an opportunity to appeal this decision by showing how they would meet these standards. After the appeal process was completed, the Incorporated Body decided that 14 pieces of property would be sold or that the leases would be given up,[9] usually without the agreement of the local Scouting members who use and maintain the property.[10]

    Some members of Scouts Canada are upset with Scouts Canada's governance structure, which does not include any elections in which the membership may take part. In response, Scouter Mike Reid from Montreal, Quebec founded in August, 2004 a committee called SCOUT eh! which is a group of "registered Scouts Canada members from across Canada dedicated to transforming Scouts Canada into a democratic association".[11]

    In 1998, the Baden-Powell Scouts (BPSA) were established in Canada, rejecting the modernization of the Scout method by WOSM and Scouts Canada. Scouts Canada challenged the association and successfully argued that the word "Scout", in the context of a youth organization, is a trademark held by Scouts Canada.
