Scouts Victoria Info Book 2018 100 Years of Rovers Scouts Victoria Info Book 2018 Scouts Victoria Info Book 2018 1 THE ADVENTURE BEGINS Scouting in Australia is on a journey to develop an updated Scouting program following the YPR. TRIALLING THE NEW PROGRAM In 2017 Victoria had the first Groups trialling this new program as Groundbreaker Groups. In 2018 more Victorian Groups will join them as Pioneers to further test the new program. These Groups are spread across the State and will trial the new program in a variety of settings. NEW PROMISE & LAW Scouts Australia now has an updated Promise & Law to reflect our diverse membership and communities. YOUTH-LEADING SECTIONS All Victorian Groups should be implementing Section Councils. There are great resources available for TC6 (Scouts), PC4 (Cub Scouts) and MC4 (Joey Scout) Councils. This is not hard to do and it is easy to start. PLAN, DO, REVIEW Plan > Do > Review > – means better activities, more fun, and your Section or small team gets to be involved in choosing and organising its own adventures. It helps ensure everyone has a fun, challenging, adventurous and inclusive time in Scouting. All Scouts should be using Plan > Do > Review > – start today! Plan > Do > Review > can be used in all sections of the program. The role of youth in leading, and adults in supporting this process will look a bit different from Section to Section; remember it is about involving youth meaningfully in the whole process. The examples here are geared towards the current Scout section.

It was the opportunity to try new things, to develop my skills, to manage projects that I would not get to experience for many years in my professional life, and to make lifelong friends. For me, it was also the time when I made my first big overseas trip, to an international Scouting peace camp in Russia, and found myself caught up in an abortive coup. It was a very scary time, but eventually we were safe. And while the others made their way home, I had to make a big decision: to abandon my planned trip or, despite the trauma, to continue on my journey. I chose the journey, and I am still travelling. The Rover Section is not the largest Section in Scouting but it is one of the most significant. Not everyone lasts for 20 plus years, from Joey Scouts through to the end of Rovers, to attain the Baden-Powell Scout Award. Some decide to become young Leaders instead, and for that we are very grateful. And for others the changes of work, study, and new relationships mean that their Scouting comes to an end. But for those who continue to experience the full breadth of the Rover program, managing their own campsites and ski chalets, running incredible State and national events, and journeying around the world, these are exciting, satisfying and skill- developing times. We are grateful in Victoria for the Rover Section, the largest Rover Section in Australia and, quite frankly, the best organised. The heritage goes back decades through many wonderful Leaders and Rovers who remain now part of the history of Victorian Scouting. And, fortunately for us in Scouts Victoria the Rover Section continues to produce outstanding Leaders who go on to serve others as Leaders of youth, and Leaders of adults in Scouting. 2018 is also the year when we hope to reach out and ‘Share Scouting’. To Share Scouting with more youth, because we are truly committed to the benefits of the Scout program in developing better individuals and developing better community. To Share Scouting with more adults so that they too will know the joys of working with young Victorians, trying new things, learning new skills and making new friends Sharing Scouting in the community, making sure that Scouting is visible in the local community and its contribution is recognised and appreciated. Sharing Scouting with more people - adults, parents, government, other organisations, and many more - so that we share the workload and the cost of providing this extraordinary, visionary program to many more young people in this State. I wish you a great 2018 including major events like the Australian Venture in Queensland, Kangaree in March, and AJ2019 - the 25th Australian Jamboree - in January 2019. These are highlights of our Scouting life, but they would be nothing without creative, fun-filled and satisfying programs delivered in the local Group.

However, there is also an extensive program of activities available at all venues and Patrols who wish to simply have a fun camping weekend, without actually entering into the Stradbroke competition, are also welcome. Most Stradbroke Cup venues will allow Troops to arrive from Thursday evening.

  • 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.
