Scouts is one of the world's largest and most successful youth organisations. Scouts NSW has almost 16,000 Youth and Adult members, from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds, and with varying abilities.

Scouts NSW puts young people first. With a youth-led, adult-supported approach, our youth members are at the forefront of our program. Discover the Program for yourself!

Scouts NSW is a youth-led organisation and it wouldn't run without the support of its adult community. Find out how you can help.
