Be Prepared... to join the adventure!
CALL 1800 SCOUTS (1800 726 887)
When we say ‘adventure’, we’re not just talking about the awesome range of outdoor activities that Scouts offers! In fact, ‘adventure’ can mean any exciting, novel or unusual experience, and Scouts offers such a huge range of opportunities that there’s always something new to try. And you can join at any age from 6 upwards!
Scouts are separated into age-based Sections – Joey Scouts (6-7), Cub Scouts (*8-10), Scouts (*11-14), Venturer Scouts (*15-17) and Rover Scouts (18-25), with each Section taking more responsibility for their own activities as they progress. (* The Commencement for advancement in Sections may vary up to six months.).
All Sections share a steady diet of self-respect, confidence, leadership, teamwork, creativity, environmental awareness and community involvement, and there are plenty of events and activities in which everyone can get involved together.
Scouts Australia couldn’t provide such amazing experiences for young people without a huge group of dedicated and enthusiastic adult volunteers. If you’re aged 18 or over, why not contact your local Group and find out how you can rediscover adventure too? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been a Scout… we’ll teach you everything you need to know!
