4. Scouting is great value!

Scouting membership represents outstanding value. With weekly meetings and activities including camping, abseiling, canoeing, there are few other organisations who can offer so much for so little.

5. Scouting is the largest youth organisation in Australia.

Scouting helps build resilient children by assisting them to take responsibility for themselves and contributing to the community in which they live.

6. Famous former Scouts include Dick Smith, Jamie Durie, Steven Speilberg, Paul McCartney & Neil Armstrong

Scouts go on to excel in the areas of business, sport, entertainment and the media. Our fun, flexible program helps young people develop team skills, leadership qualities and lasting friendships. We believe in supporting and developing tomorrow’s leaders today.
