Discover the benefits of Scouts
Scouts offers young people much more than outdoor adventures. It provides opportunities to build confidence, resilience, independence, and leadership skills. Kids make friends, learn practical skills, and take on new challenges. Available for ages 5 to 25 years, Scouting is divided into five age sections. Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts, Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts. You’ll discover a place for young people at every stage. You can join at any point along the way, and there are also opportunities to return as an adult Leader, Helper or Supporter.
Learning through adventure and experience
The Scouts Youth Program is designed to provide practical learning through activities. Each experience is an opportunity to develop new skills, build confidence, gain knowledge, and learn how to work with others. Kids learn through practical challenges, outdoor adventures, teamwork, and problem-solving. The program gives young people the chance to take an active role in their own learning and personal growth.
