S
couting is the world’s largest youth organisation with over 19,000 members, including 3,600 trained adult leaders in Victoria. Scouting is for girls and boys aged from 6 to young adults of 26 years. The aim of Scouts Australia is to encourage the physical, mental and social development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens. Scouting is a voluntary, multicultural, non-political, non-denominational, educational and developmental movement for young people.
Copious amounts of information can be found on the Scout website, which contains Cub, Scout & Venturer Section links: www.scoutsvictoria.com.au.

O
ur leaders are a committed group of volunteers – parents, Venturers or Rovers (18-26 year olds) or friends of Scouting. They undergo basic training but are not trained teachers or psychologists! Please speak to them if there is something they should be aware of.
The names of the current Leaders can be found in their section’s page (eg: Cubs, Scouts, & Venturers).
Don’t forget that we will be thrilled to welcome you as a leader! The rewards of becoming a Leader in the Scout Association include:
If you are thinking about being a Leader or helping out in any way:
Contact our Group Leader
A Police check and Working with Children clearance are required for all our leaders.
Scouts Australia is a Registered Training Provider and can provide training for Certificates and the Diploma in Leadership. We cover all the costs of your uniform and training. Think about it…
A
group committee meets meets 8 or 9 times per year to oversee the upkeep of our hall and our fundraising efforts. Annual subscriptions only pay for a part of the costs of insurance, running the hall, buying supplies for programmes and camps and covering the leaders’ costs. The balance is earned through hall hire income and fundraising. We run sausages sizzles three or four times per year. We construct an annual roster of families that usually requires only one attendance per family per year. We ask that you do attend or swap your allocated shift of 2-3 hours as we depend on your help for this income.
We also hold a presentation evening at the end of the year to share with Parents the Group & Sections activities for the year. This is also a good opportunity to chat with our Leaders so please feel welcome to come along, support the Group and hear what we have done for the year in all three sections.
Committee Meetings:
Last Tuesday of the month during school terms.
