Scouts are from eleven to fourteen years old, usually in grade six, seven, eight, or nine. Scouts seek individual achievement in specific areas of interest pursued outside of meeting times. The boys also learn to cooperate and work together to achieve goals as a team. The organization is constructed of two parts. The central part of the Scouts is, of course, the boys and their leaders.
Parents assist with projects and participate in meetings at the request of the leaders.
A parents' organization exists as a auxiliary to the main program. Its purpose is to conduct necessary administration, assisting the leaders with the Scout Program. Gull Lake Scouts are part of the Cypress Hills District. Beyond the District level, Scouts exist at Regional and Provincial levels. The Cypress Hills District is part of the South Saskatchewan Region, with its head office in Regina.
