 I started helping out once a month, went on some camps,
and I loved it so much that now I’ve became a Leader!


Scouting is very worthwhile. You meet so many people and
go to so many places. I’ve never had so much fun in my life!
​
All of Scouts Australia’s adult volunteers must undergo a standard police check to ensure the safety of our young members.
​
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*)
  • Rovers (18 – 25)
Youth members transition to the next Section prior to, or on, the birthday indicated.

​Leader roles vary through the Sections, as youth members take more responsibility for their activities as they progress in age.

Scout Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all! There are no age limits for Leaders, some  leaders did join until after they retiried

Leaders in the cubs and joeys section have lots of fun, playing games and doing craft activities.

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.

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.

This is flexible and Leaders can agree to come once a month - such as the second Wednesday of each month.

It’s so rewarding to know that I’m making a positive
difference in the kids’ lives and helping them be their best.

  • Encourage, mentor and empower young people to be their best
