About Scouts

Scouts is all about helping young people build their confidence and learn the importance of teamwork. They acquire vital outdoor safety skills while engaging in a range of physical and mental challenges. The programs cater to each individual's unique interests, motivating them to pursue their favorite hobbies through meaningful badges and awards. Scouts embark on thrilling adventures like epic bushwalks, camping trips, and water activities in kayaks or canoes.

Honour Roll

The following scouts have achieved their Australian Scout Award:

Duke of Edinburgh Awards

Elements of the Australian Scout Award and the Duke of Edinburgh Award are complimentary. Discuss with your leaders how you can complete both awards concurrently.

How can I assist my Scout with a Special Interest Area (SIA) Award?

In the Scout section, this looks like an activity or project that takes approximately eight hours of effort. This could be completed as a Unit, as a Patrol, or individually. The activity or project should have at least one goal that the young people involved are working to achieve. 
If a Scout is seeking to achieve their peak award, the Australian Scout Award, then at least three of the six required projects must have individual and personalised goals.

This awards system begins in Joey Scouts and continues through each scouting section. The leaders will encourage and support all Scouts' progress through the award system
