Scouts
Our Scout Leaders are - Justine (Scout name Gecko), Peter (Scout name Rikki) and Rochelle
Our Scouts meet on Thursday during term time from 7.00-9.00pm.
Scouts is for young people, aged from 11 years, to enjoy learning life skills and Scouting values in a safe, fun and youth-driven environment. Scouts transition to the Venturer Scout Unit before turning 15.
Scouts are:
- Experiencing big changes
- Exploring their changing sense of self
- Focussing more on peer networks
- Transitioning from Primary to Secondary school
- Finding new ways to express themselves
- Exploring and forming their personal identity
As members work their way through the higher age groups on the Scouting pathway, they’re gradually given more responsibility for themselves and others.
The activities and badges become more challenging as well. Camping for Scouts can mean a new level of self-sufficiency, and adventures can demand a greater level of risk management. Scouting is youth-led and adult-supported. Leaders are often scratching their heads in amazement at the wonderful ideas that youth members come up with!
A Scout can even decide if they would like to achieve their Sections peak award, the Australian Scout Award, the highest achievement in the Scout Section.
