Good to see our Rover Matthew doing great things!

Congratulations to Queensland Rover Scout Matthew Vella as he has recently been appointed to the role of Deputy Principal of SAIT.

Over the years, Matt has contributed to Scouting through a wide range of leadership and representative roles, including District Leader, Assistant Leader Trainer, and as a representative on the National Rover Council. He is currently an active Rover Scout and serves as Assistant Branch Commissioner (Adventurous Activities) within Queensland.

With a strong passion for outdoor education and training, particularly in paddling and water‑based activities, Matt is dedicated to supporting members to build skills, confidence, and capability in safe and engaging environments. In his new role as Deputy Principal of SAIT, Matt is looking forward to further promoting the wide range of formal qualification opportunities available within Scouting for both youth members and Leaders delivering the program.

We’re beyond proud to share that our Unit Leader, Max , has been appointed as an Assistant Leader Trainer (ALT) in the Scouts Queensland Branch of the Scouts Australia National Training Team!

This is a huge achievement, as Max is now the youngest ALT in Queensland and one of only four Rover ALTs in the state—and with this, Victor Rover Unit now represents 50% of Queensland’s Rover ALTs!

This appointment is not just a win for Max but also a testament to the strength of Rover leadership and the role young adults play in shaping the future of Scouting. We are so lucky to have him leading our unit, and we can’t wait to see what he achieves next!

Congratulations, Max!
