ISBN 978-0-909732-01-1 (Online – Edition) National Scout Catalogue # GNP 50231 PREFACE The Scout Association of Australia was inaugurated on 15 December 1958 and was subsequently incorporated by a Royal Charter granted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 17 October 1967. The Association functions in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Charter and By-Laws. Policy and Rules (P&R) has been adopted by the National Council of The Scout Association of Australia in accordance with the Royal Charter, as a statement of policy and practice for the conduct of Scouting in Australia and is binding on all Formations, members and supporters of the Movement. There are two main parts. One part, deals with matters of policy, the second part provides rules for the practice of Scouting in Australia. It is recognised that the distinction between a 'policy' and a 'rule' is sometimes difficult to make. Each Branch of The Scout Association of Australia functions in accordance with its constitution and By-Laws, and shall prescribe such further policy and rules, not inconsistent with those contained in this manual, as required for the organisation and practice of Scouting within the Branch. SUPPLEMENTARY POLICY DOCUMENTS Various other National Policies are provided as separate documents on the Scouts Australia website under Key Resources.

  • Organisation and Information Handbook
    Organisation and Information Handbook Introduction and Purpose As members of Scouts NSW, we all have a responsibility to do our part in inspiring and empowering resilient young people by developing skills for life and contributing to our community. This document, the Scouts NSW Organisation and Information Handbook, is an important resource which guides us to fulfil this shared responsibility through the conduct of Scouting across the State. The Organisation and Information Handbook supports the implementation of the Scout Association of Australia’s Policy and Rules (P&R) 9th Edition November 2017 (revised November 2018) within New South Wales. It provides an essential link to the National Policy and Rules, and additional commentary to ensure we apply them in a way that complements the needs of Scouting in our State. The handbook is not designed to be a comprehensive account of the conduct of Scouting in New South Wales. Instead, it outlines the frameworks by which we govern, manage, support and undertake Scouting, and where appropriate, it points to additional resources for further guidance. The Scouts NSW Organisation and Information Handbook is an important resource for all members of Scouting in New South Wales. I encourage you to read and refer to the handbook to ensure you are aware of, familiar with, and abide by the rules necessary to fulfil your role in supporting our Scouting mission.
