Welcome to the 1st Hazelbrook Scout Group
Scouting is a global voluntary, non-political, educational movement of young people, supported by adults. It is open to, and inclusive of all.
Scouting is a fun learning environment for young people. Scouts can get involved in leadership, performing arts, community service, amateur radio operation, environmental projects and large-scale Australian events such as Cuborees and Jamborees. Scouts also learn valuable practical skills such as first aid and cooking.
Today’s Scouts can take part in an extraordinary variety of outdoor activities and learn traditional Scouting skills such as camping and bushcraft, through to more extreme challenges such as abseiling, overnight hiking, rafting, canoeing, canyoning, snow activities, rock climbing, sailing and even flying.
Scouts world wide are bound by a promise with three fundamental parts:
duty to your religious belief,
duty to other people; and
duty to one’s self
Participation in Scouting lays a solid foundation on which our youth can build their future. Scouts Australia encourages youth members to develop skills and attitudes which will stand them in good stead throughout the rest of their lives. Our programs are designed to develop initiative, self reliance, leadership, responsibility, respect and consideration for others.
Group sections
Scouts Australia provides fun youth development activities, building resilient and confident boys and girls aged 5 to 25 in the Joey Scout, Cub Scout, Scout, Venturer Scout and Rover Scout Sections. Everyone is welcome, and we value the diversity of our members. At this time, the Hazelbrook Scout group is actively running the Joey, Cub & Scout sections. Find out more about the Section of Scouting that is best for you below.

The Joey program challenges Scouts to discover all kinds of new adventures.

Monday 6:30pm - 8:00pm
The Scout Troop is open to children aged 11 to 15.
Scouts work as a Patrol to explore the great unknown. Every experience should involve a new challenge and Scouts will support each other on the way.

The Venturer Unit is open to teenagers aged 14½ to 18.
Venturer Scouts are challenged to look wide - to seek opportunities for adventure they may not have thought possible before.
Scout Leaders
Scout Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all. Leaders need to be motivated individuals with a commitment to providing varied, exciting and dynamic programs for our Scout Group.
Before you are permitted to work with young people you must undergo interviews, have a valid Working with Children Certificate (WWCC) and pass reference and police checks.
Parental Involvement
The most successful Scout Groups are those where there is strong parental support. The more effort volunteers put in the more fun the Scouts will have and the less likely fees have to be raised to cover the costs.
