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.
