Get outside your comfort zone

Scouting is all about showing kids the incredible world just
outside their door. With a mix of challenging, fun, and bold
activities, Scouts empowers young adventurers to discover their
passions and explore nature while learning invaluable life skills.


Whether it's pitching a tent, navigating a trail, or working as a
team, every experience builds self-confidence and fosters respect
for the environment and each other. Join us in turning the great
outdoors into a living classroom where learning life skills and
adventure go hand in hand.

We welcome everyone, regardless
of gender, sexual orientation,
religion, ethnicity or background.


Adults can join our Scout Group
too as a Rover, Leader, or Adult
Helper, and help us create a
meaningful, adventurous
experience for our Youth
members.

friendships for years to come

Outdoor Adventure Skills pathways

adventurous activities each school term,
