Be Prepared to rediscover adventure

 

Adult volunteers can choose to undertake training and become an Assistant Leader or a Leader with one of the Sections:

 

• Joey Scouts (6 – 8)

• Cub Scouts (8 – 11)

• Scouts (11 – 15)

• Venturer Scouts (15 – 18)

 

Scout Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all! Leaders need to be motivated individuals with a commitment to providing varied, exciting and dynamic programs for their Scout Group.

 

Scouts Australia helps Leaders deliver on that commitment by providing training and support in all aspects of Scouting, youth leadership, programming and safety.Leader training is provided through the Scouts Australia Institute of Training, which is accredited to award nationally-recognised VET qualifications in Leadership and Management.Normally, Leaders need to commit to Group meetings one night per week during school term, a monthly Leaders’ meeting, and a few weekends a year for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping trips.

 

All of Scouts Australia’s adult volunteers must undergo a standard police check to ensure the safety of our young members.Adult volunteers are required to pay a small annual subscription for membership of Scouts Australia, but there is usually no cost involved in meeting weekly Scouting commitments. Your Group may help cover training expenses. For major events such as Jamborees you may be asked to contribute in whole or in part to these costs.If you choose to undertake Leadership training, you will have to purchase your own uniform (shirt, scarf, woggle and belt), and depending on the activities of your Group, you may need to purchase (or borrow) some of your own equipment from time to time.
