Research shows Scouts are more positive, better at coping with challenges, more likely to help others and significantly less likely to use devices overnight than their non-Scouting peers.

🏕️ Happy Father's Day 🏕️

Today we celebrate all the incredible dads in our Scouting community, from the Leaders who give their time to support and inspire young people, to the dads and carers guiding, encouraging and helping shape the journey along the way.

From weekend hikes to bad dad jokes and knowing exactly where the fish are biting. Thank you for showing up for our young people every day!

The secret to finding your passion isn't looking, it's doing.

Become a Leader in Scouts and give your passion a purpose!

Volunteering with Scouts can be a brilliant way to boost your mental wellbeing. It's a great feeling knowing you're helping young people get skills for life, and you might even learn a lot about yourself along the way.

💜 Celebrating our local achievements.

This week I had the pleasure of attending the first Annual Report Meeting of the Gilgai Plains Scout Group and reflecting on what an incredible first year the group has had. It was wonderful to hear about the adventures, friendships and achievements that have already been created for local young people.

One of the highlights of the evening was seeing Alexis receive the Joey Scout Challenge Award – the very first Peak Award achieved by a member of the Gilgai Plains Scout Group. 🌟

This is no small achievement. It reflects dedication, perseverance and a willingness to embrace new challenges through outdoor adventure, personal growth and community involvement.

Congratulations, Alexis! You should be incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished 👏

A huge thank you as well to the amazing volunteer leaders and families whose passion and support are helping our local Scouts thrive. Here’s to many more milestones in the years ahead. 👏
