The South Coast and Tablelands Scouting Region stretches from Helensburgh in the North to the Victorian Border in the South, and incorporates areas West to Goulburn, Queanbeyan and Jindabyne.
When we say ‘adventure’, we’re not just talking about the awesome range of outdoor activities that Scouts offers! In fact, ‘adventure’ can mean any exciting, novel or unusual experience, and Scouts offers such a huge range of opportunities that there’s always something new to try. And you can join at any age from 6 upwards!
Scouts are separated into age-based Sections – Joey Scouts (6-8), Cub Scouts (7.5-11), Scouts (10.5-15), Venturer Scouts (14.5-18) and Rover Scouts (18-25), with each Section taking more responsibility for their own activities as they progress. All Sections share a steady diet of self-respect, confidence, leadership, teamwork, creativity, environmental awareness and community involvement, and there are plenty of events and activities in which everyone can get involved together.
Scouts couldn’t provide such amazing experiences for young people without a huge group of dedicated and enthusiastic adult volunteers. If you’re aged 18 or over, why not contact your local Group and find out how you can rediscover adventure too? It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been a Scout… we’ll teach you everything you need to know!

Hi Scouts & Scout Leaders,
As an action item from our Region Youth Council held at the 2024 Jamborette, this survey is looking to confirm your Unit's choice for the theme for this year's Jamborette. There were 4 options put forward during the Youth Council which are listed for your choice, however if your Unit has a great idea add it to the 'Other' option & if we receive a majority of Units writing this in we'll go with it, or keep these additional suggestions for next year.
Please discuss as a Unit & let your Leaders know so they can enter your vote.

Hi Everyone,
As you all know, you need qualifications to run certain activities with our scouting members.
For our Region Activity’s Team to help you gain these qualifications we have a questionnaire that we would like you to fill in. By filling in the survey it will help us identify the priority areas. We can then potentially run training events and workshops, or provide a direction towards a pathway to achieve your desired qualification.
Please us this link to fill in the Questionnaire > forms.office.com/r/RLyEZfKk0f
It is worth reviewing the WACIR (What Activity’s Can I Run) to see what qualifications are required for activity’s you wish to run as the questions are based around that. (Current WACIR can be found here > nsw.scouts.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/What-Activities-Can-I-Run-v2.1.pdf )
This questionnaire is for all Adult members, Rovers, Leaders, Fellowship and Region Team and can be for personal desires or unit requirements. We will do our best to fulfil everyone’s request but it will take some time to achieve this. First step is to fill out so we can make a plan. The survey will be active until 1st of June 2025.
Let's have some fun during the school holidays, with our families travelling & kids not at Scouts, let's see if you can find something which beats this for 'furthest distance away from home of something from a Group's Scouting history'.
A Scout from the North Coast of NSW reached out to us today with a photograph of the chairs at their local food court in Coffs Central shopping centre in Coffs Harbour NSW, a mere 613km away from 1st Thirroul Scout Group.
Have you ever found something from your Scout Group a long way from home?
Post a picture & the story behind it & we'll see how far South Coast & Tablelands Scouting has travelled to leave it's mark.
