Scouts Canada provides a Gateway training course which is an excellent
opportunity to learn about risk assessment and is required for anyone
working with youth, as well as a likely asset for everyone.
We would also try to provide a quick overview of Scouts Canada for new
volunteers that might be held prior to a regular event or meeting.
