Combining inspiration from Scouts Canada’s manual and Syilx traditional teachings, with supports and training from You Power, NCCP, and local facilitators, this program will give OKIB kids a greater connection to our land and water, a broadened sense of community and responsibility, a bigger respect for our history and traditions, independence, problem-solving, and more, in a fun and age-appropriate environment!
