The 288 Calgary Group is especially keen in teaching our youth the conventional Scouting skills such as knotting, lashing, spicing, pioneering projects, mapping, use of compass, first aid, camping hiking (including making hiking logs) and leadership skill; recently we have added talent by the joining of some new Scouters to bring in knowledge of alpine hiking, winter hiking, winter camping and use of GPS (Global Positioning System). Some of our Scout Troop and Venture Company members have also achieved the Edingburg's Award up to the Gold level membership besides achieving the Scouting own Chief Scout Award and Queen's Venturer Award, which are the highest honor in the Scout and Venture sections.

Due to the convince of having a few Scouters in each section, the 288 Calgary Group is able to have new recruits all year round. We welcome youth of both genders in the following sections:

Cubs - 7 to 10 years of age
Scouts - 11 to 14 years of age
Venturers - 14 to 17 years of age
Leaders - 18 years of age or over
