BSA Announcement - Feb 18, 2020
Today we received a number of inquiries following the announcement that "The Boy Scouts of America Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to Equitably Compensate Victims"
1st Okotoks Scouts would like to reassure participants, parents and volunteers that this announcement has no direct impact on Scouting in Okotoks, or indeed Canada. This announcement relates to BSA, a completely different organization to Scouts Canada (of which 1st Okotoks is a local Group). It impacts Scouting in the US, not Canada - and not at a local level.
Scouting in Canada, like BSA, has delivered many changes in policies, procedures and practices in recent years. Safe Scouting and child protection is integral to all that we do. For more information on how we keep our participants, and volunteers, safe please follow the link below or contact our Group Commissioner at
