#OutsideIn25

It’s been exciting to see so many Scouts getting #OutsideIn25 to try new things, challenge ourselves, and enjoy nature with friends across the year! As we wrap up 2025, we’re launching the #OutsideIn25 Video Challenge to celebrate the great outdoor activities occurring in Units across Australia.

You’re invited to enter the competition by submitting a short video that captures the fun, friendship, and fresh air of a Scout adventure. Whether you’re bushwalking on a mountain, camping by the beach, paddling down a river, or cruising on your bikes – if it’s outdoors and awesome, we want to see it.

Scouts is all about amazing experiences – the kind you’ll look back on and say, ‘That was epic!’ Creating a short video is a fun and creative way to capture the special moments of our activities so they can be remembered and shared.

Your video entry could inspire other Scouts, get your Unit featured nationally, and even win your Unit an awesome prize. But more than that, it becomes a memory you can keep – a snapshot of your adventure. So grab your phone, get creative, and let your Unit or Patrol’s spirit of adventure shine!

Categories & Prizes

The Video Challenge’s categories reflect the three broad groupings of Outdoor Adventure Skills:

• Core Skills (videos that show camping, bushwalking or bushcraft adventures)
• Land Based Skills (videos that show cycling, vertical or alpine adventures)
• Water Based Skills (videos that show paddling, boating or aquatic adventures)

Entries will have the opportunity to be featured on Scouts Australia’s social media. In addition, a $100 e-voucher from The Scout Shop will be awarded to the winning Unit in each category.

By filming and submitting your video, you’re not just entering a competition – you’re telling your Unit or Patrol’s story. Plus, it’s a chance to flex your creativity! Think cool transitions, funny moments, teamwork highlights, or even a behind-the-scenes look at your Patrol in action. The more personality, the better.
