Boy Scouts

---

The First Carol Scout Group is the local chapter of Scouts Canada. The national organization operates about 4,500 local groups with a membership nearing a quarter million youths and adults. Their mission is "to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, to help build a better world where people are self fulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society."

Scouting has been active in Labrador City since 1961. The building they now use to hold their meetings was officially opened in 1986. At present there are 60 boys in Cubs and Beavers and presently there is no Scout Troop in the area. There are 18 adult volunteers which run the program.

The first fishing and hunting camp in Labrador West was opened in 1960 and called Frontier Lodge. The main lodge consisted of a dining area, cook house, recreation area complete with stone fireplace and wet bar. There were also three bunk houses, storage sheds, and caretaker's cottage. This complex located on the Ashuanipi River was donated to the First Carol Scout Association. The Scouts used these buildings for summer and winter camping.
