Scouts Australia provides fun youth development activities, building resilient and confident boys and girls aged 5 to 25 in the Joey Scout, Cub Scout, Scout, Venturer Scout and Rover Scout Sections. We also welcome adult volunteer Scout Leaders. Scouts has opportunities for the whole family to be involved. Everyone is welcome, and we value the diversity of our members.
As a totally volunteer organisation, we rely on the help provided by adults to ensure that the youth led, adult supported program can be effectively delivered.
Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts as well as Adult Leaders can achieve nationally recognised qualifications through Scouting. Scouting could help you start training for a future career even before you have left school! Check out the information on the Scouts Australia Institute of Training to see what qualifications in Leadership, Business, Management or Outdoor Recreation are available to you.
In some states, Scouting achievements such as your Queen’s Scout Award may also be recognised by some universities for entry purposes. Contact your State Branch for more information.
The easiest way to obtain your Scout uniform, books, and badges is online through scoutshop.com.au. Scout Shop is owned by Scouts Australia with proceeds coming back to Scouts Australia and its Branches. Scout Shop also has a comprehensive range of outdoor clothing and camping gear that has been selected as appropriate to take on your Scouting adventures
