Celebrating our history 

1st Yass Scouts started in November 1922 and has service the Yass Community for almost 100 years.

When the group started meetings where held in the old Drill Hall that was moved from Walker Park to the Showground.  Sadly, the building was demolished in the last few years.

This photo was taken at the Drill Hall in the 1920's. The Boy behind the Flag is Reg Jewel, many of the other remain a mystery. 
The man in the suit could be David Lawrence and the man in uniform could be Rob Graham, a locate plumber and tank maker, who was Scout Master in the 1920's.

Matching names to faces in very challenging task after so many years, while the photo was donated back to our group, the details have been lost through time.

In the 1950's Reg Jewell, David Lawrence, Cecil Rayner and many of the first scouts in Yass, gave up their weekends, to construct the Iconic Cream Scout Hall across from Woolies.

Many of these people have passed away, but the Legacy of Scouting in Yass continues.

Since the opening of the 1st Yass Scout Group, many things have changed. The introduction of Girls into the Scouts in the late 1970's, the change of our traditional Green uniform, early this centenary and last year the change of our Australia Logo.

Yet the traditions of Scouting remain the same. Be Prepare, Do your best, Help Other People and Believe in yourself.

Since 2010, Our group has been on  a quest to restore the Scout Hall and put together the history of our Group and lives of our first scouts.

If you have any historical photo or stories about your time in Yass Scouts, we would love to hear from you at 1styassscouts@gmail.com or on facebook.
