Scouts Canada Launches 24/7 'Camptastic’ Helpline To Help Campers

If you’re at your campsite and facing a tough camping question and don’t know the answer, why not try Scouts Canada brand new toll-free hotline? You can call 1-844-SCOUT101 (1-844-726-881010) 24/7 and choose from one of 10 pre-recorded answers to popular questions such as “What’s a thunderbox?” or “The tent pole snapped…SOS”.

While Scouts Canada is all about ‘being prepared’ and planning ahead to anticipate challenges, this call-in line is designed for campers who are caught in a pinch, already at campsites and struggling with common camping concerns.

As nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, Scouters live for camping, but we recognize that many Canadians may hesitate to benefit from the camping experience due to rusty skills or a lack of confidence. A 24/7 helpline was the quickest, most practical and easiest way for us to support Canadians this camping season, wherever they’re at and whenever they need.
