SCOUTS
Build your confidence, work as part of a team, be involved in amazing activities and Be Prepared for any challenge that life may throw at you.
​
Scouts allows boys and girls to develop their confidence and learn to work as part of a team. Once you become a Scout you could find yourself exploring a mountain wilderness, helping in emergency rescues, photographing wild animals, sending coded messages, searching for gold, canoeing down a swift river, hiking and camping out in the bush or sailing across the ocean with the salt spray in your face. Build your confidence, make decisions, work as part of a team… and Be Prepared for any challenge that life may throw at you.

Jamboree
What do you get when you put 12,000 boys and girls from all over Australia and beyond into one giant tent city?
A whole lot of fun at the Australian Scout Jamboree!
It’s a national camp-out with 10 days of activities, visits from younger Scout sections, and day trips away from the Jamboree site.
The Australian Jamboree is held every three years and the next one is being planned for January 2019 in Tailem Bend, South Australia.
