About Us

8th Orleans celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2020. Our group has grown quite a bit from those humble beginnings in 1990 where we had about 10-15 youth involved in 3 sections, to now where we have over 100 youth involved in all five sections, and over 35 adult Volunteers. 8th Orleans is one of the largest groups in our area, and that is because of the hard work and dedication of our fantastic volunteers, now and in years past.

We run a full selection of programs from Beavers to Rovers:

• • Beaver Scouts - ages 5-7 (grades K-2)

  • Cub Scouts - ages 8-10 (grades 3-5)

  • Scouts - ages 11-14 (grades 6-9)

  • Venturer Scouts - ages 15-17 (grades 10-12)

  • Rover Scouts - ages 18-26 (young adults)

The program sections are delivered out of two locations on three different nights of the week. The schools are still not permitting community use, so we have had to move Colony B to Orleans United Church (still Tuesday) and we've been fortunate to move the Section C's to Notre-Dame-des-Champs community centre until at least December 16 2021.
