Scouting in Person: Moving Back Outside as Ontario Transitions to Step 1

The Ontario Government announced Ontario will move to Step 1 of the provincial re-opening roadmap on Friday, June 11, 2021, at 12:01 am.

Shining Waters will be upgraded to Modified Stage 2 effective June 11 at 12:01 am. Modified Stage 2 means Outdoor Scouting up to 10 people (minimum 2 Scouters) will now be allowed.

Indoor Scouting continues to be not allowed.
Please refer to our Scouts Canada Pandemic Standard for details - we may all need a refresher this time around! (Also, note Scouts Canada made a definition change to the Stage 3 and 4 Standards, which will apply to us when Ontario reaches Step 2).

Please remember that outdoor scouting also requires all sections to have a completed ERP on hand. Here are links to the templates:

We are thrilled not only to team up with Les in hosting the Great 8 Challenge, but to also have Les join us to share his truly unique experiences and expertise, touching on his new book and how it relates to Scouting in helping kids to embrace and respect nature.


But wait, there’s more…

Les will also reveal the winning Scout Group of the Great 8 Challenge, who will be invited to a virtual meet n’ greet with Surivorman later this summer. Scouts Canada will also announce a big surprise coming your way this October—you don’t want to miss it!

Submit your questions for Survivorman in advance to discover tips, best practices and exhilarating stories from Les’ expeditions around the world
