Scouting and Guiding in Saskatchewan, Youth development organization in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Scouts Canada's Saskatchewan Council operates programs for various age groups ranging from Beaver Scouts at age 5 through Rover Scouts up to age 26. Each level offers activities tailored to develop skills, encourage outdoor experience, and promote community involvement.
Camp Gilwell was established in 1919 near Lebret as a key outdoor education facility for the scouting movement in Saskatchewan. Structural concerns led to partial closure of the facility in 2009, marking a significant change in how scouting programs use outdoor spaces.
Scouting groups throughout Saskatchewan organize regular activities like camping, hiking, and community service that bring young people together across the province. These programs connect participants with outdoor experiences and local communities in both urban and rural settings.
The northern section of Camp Gilwell remains open for wilderness camping and offers basic facilities including water access, toilets, and lit parking areas. Visitors should check ahead to understand site conditions and what equipment or supplies to bring for their visit.
The Saskatchewan Service Corps is a specialized branch focused on leadership development through expedition planning and community engagement projects. Members of this group take on more demanding responsibilities and help shape larger initiatives within the scouting network.
