6. SECTION LEADERSHIP ROLES FOR INDIVIDUAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE SECTION LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE PROGRAM BEAVER SCOUTS Youth choose which Personal Achievement badges they wish to make part of their Canadian Path, as well as the Outdoor Adventure Skill stages they wish to pursue. Blue Tails (second-year Beaver Scouts) offer leadership within their Lodges. White Tails (third-year Beaver Scouts) form a White Tail Council which takes a role in decision making for the Colony. The White Tails work either as individuals or together on their Northern Lights Quest in achieving their Section Award. Beaver Scouts brainstorm ideas for Adventures related to the Program Areas within their Lodges, which are then further developed by the Scouters and The White Tail Council. Lodges may take on the responsibility for running one of the Adventure activities. CUB SCOUTS Youth choose which Personal Achievement badges they wish to make part of their Canadian Path, as well as the Outdoor Adventure Skill stages they wish to pursue. Trackers (second-year Cub Scouts) offer leadership for certain activities in the Beaver Scout Colony, help Runners (first-year Cubs) learn about being a Cub Scout, and assist the Howlers (third-year Cubs) in running Pack activities. Howlers offer leadership within their Lairs as well as in the Pack. They lead activities and participate in the Howler Council, which has a role in decision making for the Pack. Cub Scouts choose their Adventures and then work with their Scouters to plan, to prepare, to learn the needed skills and then to carry out the Adventure. As a Pack, they review the Adventure in preparation for new Adventures.

7. SECTION LEADERSHIP ROLES FOR INDIVIDUAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE SECTION LEADERSHIP ROLES WITHIN THE PROGRAM SCOUTS Scouts participate in choosing the activities and Adventures for the Troop. They choose the level they are ready to undertake in each Adventure, the Personal Achievement badges they wish to make part of their Canadian Path, as well as the Outdoor Adventure Skill stages they wish to pursue. The Troop Leadership Team works together to make decisions to move the program forward. A Troop Leader and Assistant Troop Leader provide leadership in to the Troop decision making process. Patrol Leaders and Assistant Patrol Leaders provide leadership within the Patrols. As individuals or as Patrols, Scouts may offer leadership in Beaver Scout or Cub Scout Sections. Patrols are active in choosing, planning, preparing for and engaging their Adventures, as well as doing the Review following the Adventure. Scouters serve to mentor, inspire and encourage the youth. They oversee risk management and participate with the youth in decision making. VENTURER SCOUTS Venturer Scouts set their goals for the year and choose Solo Climbs that help them move toward the Summit. Youth choose the Expeditions in which they wish to participate as well as the Outdoor Adventure Skill stages they wish to pursue. Expedition Teams are formed and each youth is expected to take a turn in providing leadership. A Company Leadership Team oversees the program and planning, arranging for necessary equipment and resources, managing finances, etc. Venturer Scouts may choose to be Scouters in Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts or Scout Sections. The program is planned, led and reviewed by Venturer Scouts. Scouters serve to mentor, inspire and encourage the youth. In conjunction with the Company Leadership Team, they oversee risk management and decision making within the Company. ROVER SCOUTS Rover Scouts, working with mentors on a one-to-one basis, develop Personal Develop Plans (PDP’s) which guide their program. They may choose to incorporate Outdoor Adventure Skills and work toward the Section Award as part of their own Canadian Path. The Rover Crew comes together to plan and set goals, to choose joint Adventures and to celebrate achievement of members. A Crew Executive oversees the management and administration of the Crew. Rover Scouts may choose to be Scouters in any of the other Sections. The program is planned, led and reviewed by the Rover Scouts. Mentors for the Personal Development Plans may come from within Scouts Canada or from an outside organization. Scouters encourage, support, inspire and empower the Rover Crew.
