Program Information
The Scout Brigade of Fort George scout camp has a lot to offer in terms of activities and programming for Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Rovers!
A mix of jamboree style camping with a rich history program that sees the youth actively engaging in the history of the Niagara Peninsula, a parade through Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the greatest cap gun fight the world has seen.
Please check out the links for specific programs such as Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers to name a few.
