About Our Scouts

Our Scouts Leaders are: Jude, Tim, and Amanda

…

Scouts are aged between 11-15 years old and meet each Tuesday during the school term from 7pm to 9pm at the Scout Hall or elsewhere as stated on the program. We also have combined nights with other Units, mystery nights and weekend camps.

Our Next Term program will be uploaded by the end of Current Term. This is a guide to our year however changes will be made throughout the year to allow for other events. Some details are also not finalised until a week or two before the event. Notices and emails will be sent home regarding every major activity or camp each term via Team App.

“Action Plus” is the best way to describe the life of a Scout.

Scouts is the age group that started it all when Baden-Powell first began the Scouts movement in 1908.

Working together

At Scouts you will become a member of a Scout Patrol, and your Patrol will work with other Patrols to form the Pakenham Scout Unit. Together you will make important decisions, set critical goals, and depend on each other to succeed. And when you do succeed, you can earn achievement badges!

Try new things!

In many ways, the Scouts section is where children develop their skills and as they become young adults, also learn how to become leaders and to initiate and be responsible for their own development and learning.

Adventurous Activities in a controlled environment

Scout meetings consist of team-building activities, playing games, developing specialised skills and knowledge, and planning for weekend adventures and campouts. At meetings Unit members share stories and experiences of their recent adventures and offer advice to one another. Scout Leaders teach safety lessons on how to use equipment correctly and inspire their Scouts to be the best individuals and team players that they can be.
