Scouts Canada & Girl Guides of Canada Events
2018-2019 Listings
This document is designed to cover a variety of events held by, and open to, Scouts Canada and Girl Guides of Canada members. While care has been taken to include as many events as possible, some events may have been omitted. For the most up-to-date event calendar, please visit the associated event, Council, Area, or group’s website.
This listing has combined events which both organizations may attend, and events one organization is eligible to attend at this time. Members of both Lower Mainland Scouting and Guiding organizations are working diligently to allow both organizations to attend most of the events listed in future years. Stay tuned for any updates on this progress. Please refer to the ‘open to’ section under each event for event eligibility.
Due to the cyclical nature of some events, 2019 (and beyond) dates have been set, however, in some cases dates, locations, and other details have not yet been set. Information will be circulated when it is known.
