The Scout troop meets every Wednesday night from 7.00pm until 9.00pm. Scouts are the third section in Scouting and is for anyone aged 11 to 15 years of age. Scouts are provided with the opportunity for personal growth through adventurous, fun, challenging, and inclusive activities that meet their needs. Scouts do anything and everything… all the fun stuff you don’t get to do at home!

About Scouts
Scouts are provided with the opportunity for personal growth through challenging and interesting activities.
Scouts receive expert instruction in a wide variety of outdoor activities and get the opportunity to learn many practical skills such as camping, hiking, cooking, construction, first aid, knots and lashings and even lighting a fire.
All scouts become members of a patrol where they get to work as part of a team to plan and execute activities. Here they can learn about leadership and the importance of teamwork. Within the patrol all members regardless of age get to have their say.
Within Scouts there is so much to do. Activities are only limited by how creative you can be and how much fun you want to have.
Scouts meet regularly at the Scout Hall where they play games, participate in exciting and interesting programs and also plan upcoming adventures. The scout youth leaders at 1st Elwood plan the term program based on input from all youth members. Adult leaders assist the youth leaders to facilitate the term program.
Camping in the outdoors as a Patrol or with the whole troop is a key part of our program and scouts are encouraged to attend at least one camp per term. Other activities Scouts might participate in include outdoor activities (eg rock climbing, abseiling, sailing, canoeing). Every three years we participate in the Australian Scout Jamboree which is a camp that brings Scouts from all over Australia together for 10 days of awesome fun.
