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!

Congradulations to all the nominees, finalists and awardees for the Scouts NSW Scout of the Year Awards for 2023.
We are delighted to shine another spotlight on another Scout. Glynn, a dedicated Scout from 1st Keiraville Scout Group who was nominated in the Scout Section whose pursuit of the zero hunger Sustainable Development Goal is truly commendable.
Glynn's leadership and compassion have shone brightly as he led a small group in raising $200 and collecting two full carloads of donations to support the Wollongong Homeless Hub. His determination to make a difference in the lives of those facing hunger and homelessness is inspiring.
But Glynn's impact doesn't stop there. He took the initiative to coordinate a soup kitchen and donations collection box right at Wollongong High School, ensuring that his fellow students could easily contribute to this noble cause. Furthermore, he instigated and provided all the materials needed for a successful mufti day collection at Keiraville Primary School, raising funds for charity and spreading awareness about the importance of ending hunger.
Glynn, your commitment to zero hunger and your leadership in mobilizing your community for this cause are truly remarkable. You are a beacon of hope, and your actions inspire us all to work towards a world where no one goes to bed hungry. Well done, Glynn! 🍲🌍#ScoutsForPeace
We are thrilled to shine a spotlight on Nathaniel from Dapto's 'Westlake' Group who was a Venturer Scout Finalist and recieved a People's Choice Award in the Scouts NSW Scout of the Year Awards for 2023. There were 1829 votes for the awards!
Nate is a remarkable Venturer Scout whose dedication to Scouts and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) of Climate Action and Life on Land is truly inspiring.
Over the past two years, Nate has been an invaluable volunteer with the South Coast and Tablelands Environment Program (SC&T Environment team). His commitment to fostering a love and respect for the natural world among young people is nothing short of commendable. Through his passion and expertise, he has educated younger sections on how they can make a positive impact on their local environment paired with his exemplary leadership, is truly inspiring.
Nate's contribution extends far beyond teaching; he has committed into organising and running SC&T Environment camps, a committed leader who is often sacrificing long days and nights to ensure their success. His selflessness and unwavering commitment to these causes have left an indelible mark on our community.
Nate, your dedication to sustainability and environmental education is a shining example for all of us. Your actions inspire us to do more and be better stewards of our planet. Thank you for being a true Scout and leadership, and we look forward to witnessing your continued impact on our world. Bravo, Nathaniel! 🌿🌎 #ScoutsForPeace#scoutoftheyear
