Scouts is for boys and girls from 10 1/2 years to 14 1/2 years. Scouts is all about:
fun
Scouts do anything and everything… all the fun stuff you don’t get to do at home! Whether it’s hiking 30km over two days, canoeing, rock climbing, or sitting around a fire toasting marshmallows with a bunch of friends… you choose!
team work
You’ll become a member of a Scout Patrol within a larger Scout Troop. Together you’ll make important decisions, set goals, and work together as a team to succeed in whatever you choose to do. Your Scout Leaders are there to support your decisions and help you develop spiritually, physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally.
skills
There is a multi-level Award Scheme to keep you constantly pushing yourself to achieve your personal best. You can learn about lightweight camping, bush navigation, recognising and dealing with environmental dangers (like bushfires), water safety and heaps more. Scouts also gain a lot of valuable life skills such as confidence, resilience, leadership and responsibility.
adventure
When you’re a Scout, there’s always something new and different to try. Get out there and extend yourself, test your limits and Be Prepared… for new adventure!
