Scouts Tasmania

Scouts Tasmania Scouts Tasmania is supported by the Tasmanian Government. Scouts has been around for over 100 years, when it was first founded in the UK in 1907.

Scouting provides young people, guided by adult volunteers, the opportunities to participate in programs, events, activities and projects that contribute to their growth as active citizens. Scouts Australia provides boys and girls aged 5 to 25 with fun and challenging opportunities to grow through adventure. With around 70,000 members, Scouts Australia is one of the largest youth development organ

isations in Australia. What makes us unique is our diverse range of activities that develop skills in young people such as leadership, teamwork, problem solving and communication from the age of 5 years old. Today’s Scouts can take part in an extraordinary variety of outdoor activities, from ‘traditional Scouting skills’ such as camping and bushcraft, through to more extreme challenges such as abseiling, overnight hiking, rafting, canoeing, canyoning, snow activities, rock climbing, sailing… even flying! The Scouts Australia Program also incorporates contemporary issues such as youth health, ‘responsible risk-taking’, vocational skills, and issues pertinent to Indigenous Australians. We offer an Award Scheme that encourages participation in the full range of activities available and provides recognition of individual achievement. Scouts Australia is an accredited member of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM), which has over 40 million members in 169 National Scout Organisations around the world. Since then Scouting has evolved into a worldwide movement of nearly 50 million young people and adult volunteers and is welcoming of all genders. Over the course of the program, we provide increasing opportunities for our members to take the initiative with ‘youth leading, adult supporting’ one of our fundamental goals. We provide an experience that is all about connecting with the outdoors; building new and existing friendships; learning new skills; and helping create a better world.

Respect for their sacrifice.

As we reflect on ANZAC Day, we can take pride in an adventurous group of Tasmanian Venturers and Leaders who are currently in Türkiye and visiting Gallipoli. Tomorrow they will participate in the ANZAC day dawn service at ANZAC Cove and then they are attending the Lone Pine service.

Read Kingston Venturer Leader Neil Ruut’s post below to see the respect they are earning while visiting Gallipoli.

Today our contingent attended the beach cemetery at Anzac cove. Where amongst the headstones is buried medic John Simpson. We met with the Australian ambassador to Turkiye and the head of Commonwealth war graves in Turkiye and the operations director from the UK head office. We then cleaned all the headstones in this cemetery of the fallen soldiers as a mark of respect. We were also privileged to have Bridget Teahan selected to read at the pre dawn service and received a special visit at our hotel of the regional governor for the area, who wanted to meet the amazing group everyone is talking about. This contingent is one that we should be justly proud of, the venturers and leaders are all doing a wonderful job of representing scouting, Tasmania and our country.
