Our Scouts

Joey Scouts

Ages 5 – 8 years
Monday 6 – 7pm (during school terms)

Joey Scouts is the first chance for young children to have a real adventure, like their first abseil, a visit to the local fire station, or even an overnight camp! From 5 years of age, Joey Scouts play an active role in their program from discussing activities they want to do and experience a degree of independence and teamwork. Joey Scouts are mentored by our older youth sections and always supported and supervised by our trained adult leaders.

Cub Scouts

Ages 8 – 11 years
Tuesday 6:30 – 8pm (during school terms)

Cub Scouts focus on exploring the outdoors, discovery and learning interesting things! You’ll get to go on camps and might attend a Cuboree camp with hundreds of other Cub Scouts! As well as learning things like how to use a compass, you’ll go on bushwalks, bike trips, and have the chance to do activities such as sailing, canoeing and abseiling. Making new friends and building social skills are very important for Cub Scouts. For some, belonging to Cub Scouts provides an opportunity to mix with a new group of people, developing their confidence and ability to make new friends. Cub Scout families are welcome to get involved too! There’s lots of opportunities for the whole family to make new friends and feel part of the Scouting community.

Scouts

Ages 11 – 14 years
Monday 7 – 9pm (during school terms)

Scouts focus on developing their confidence and learning how to work as part of a team. We learn essential outdoor safety skills as well as participate in a variety of physical and intellectual challenges. The programs are designed to target and develop each young person’s own special interests and hobbies. From bushwalks and camping expeditions to getting out on the water in a kayak, there is something for everyone. As a Scout, you get to choose what you want to do, and your Leaders are there to provide guidance and support.

Venturer Scouts

Ages 14 – 18 years
Thursday 7 – 9pm (during school terms)

Scouts Scouts is a do-it-yourself mix of fun, adventure and personal challenge that brings together like-minded young people from all walks of life. When you’re dealing with your toughest years in school and making decisions about your future, Venturer Scouts offers vital breathing space. You can focus on friendship and personal growth, while picking up valuable life skills along the way. As a Venturer Scout, you may find yourself exploring wilderness Australia, diving on coral reefs or abseiling into a limestone cave. Venturer Scouts also get the opportunity to travel overseas and to organised activities, to live with a different community and to provide service to others.
