1st Strathmore Scouts - Alberta - 403-629-7781

Serving the Strathmore community and enabling our youth to develop in a safe environment through fun, challenging outdoor programs

For our Core programs, youth are divided into five age categories called sections. Each section is part of a group (there are more than 225 Chinook Council Scouting groups located in southern Alberta) and each group falls within one of our 12 service areas. The Chinook Council is comprised of representatives from each area.

The Core Scouting programs typically run from September to June.

Scouting is based on three broad Principles which represent its fundamental beliefs. These include:

Duty to God: Defined as, The responsibility to adhere to spiritual principles, and thus to the religion that expresses them, and to accept the duties therefrom.

Duty to Others: Defined as, The responsibility to one's local, national and global community members to promote peace, understanding and cooperation, through participation in the development of society, respect for the dignity of one's fellow-beings, and protection of the integrity of the natural world.

Duty to Self: Defined as, The responsibility for the development of oneself to one's full potential physically, intellectually, spiritually and socially.
