1st Gundaroo Scouts

10.5 - 14.5yo

Monday Night - 6:30pm - 8:30pm - Gundaroo Soldiers Memorial Hall

Scouts are 10.5 to 14.5 years old. Scouting aims to encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development of young people. It strives to teach positive values and leadership skills. The aim is to inspire them to do their best, reach their full potential in life, and to take a constructive place in their local, national, and international communities. Scouts enjoy fun, adventurous and challenging programs with a focus on leadership and teamwork.
Scouts learn to share responsibilities and to live with each other through adventures set in the outdoors, but they also challenge their minds as not everyone looks for the outdoor buzz all the time. Scouting is fun!

Meetings
The Scout Troop meets each Monday during school term, from 6.30pm – 8.30pm at the Soldier’s Memorial Hall in Gundaroo. These meetings include playing games, building individual and team Scouting skill levels, having fun, and planning for weekend adventures.

A Patrol has 4 to 8 members where an older, more experienced Scout will be the Patrol Leader and will help to develop the skills of the other patrol members.
