A Leader can be anybody who has an interest in developing leadership skills and would like to assist the community with applying these learnt skills to the development of our youth. There is no such thing as a professional Scout Leader. Most Leaders are just a mum or dad like you. With the help of the Scout Association's excellent adult training program you will be transformed into a Youth Leader.

All of our Leaders have given their time to complete their basic training and some have gone on and have completed their Advanced Leadership Training as well as first aid and several other significant qualifications.

Leaders of Joey Mobs, Cub Packs, Scout Troops and Venturer Units need to allocate one night a week for the Group meeting during school term time. You will also need to attend group activities (e.g. hikes or camping trips) on a few weekends each year. Attendance at a monthly meeting of Leaders is required.

Leaders are given training and support by other Leaders from Scouts Australia, and are given resources of program ideas. There is training in all aspects of youth leadership, program planning, safety and other requirements.
