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!

Please join me in congratulating Chris 'Grizzly' Owers for his successful application to take on the role of Producer for Korimul Gang Show!
Grizzly brings years of experience both on & off the stage, including being heavily involved in the show's production team in preparation of our 50th anniversary show this year. With over 30 years’ as a Leader in Scouting, Grizzly’s dedication to provide opportunities for our Scout & Guide members to experience new & varied activities, coupled with his infectious enthusiasm for Scouting make him the ideal choice for the role of Producer.
Also, a huge thank you to our outgoing Producer John 'JP' Penney for his many years of service to Korimul Gang Show & his time in the Producer role, particularly for keeping the show alive through CoVid & navigating the Gang’s colossal efforts to relocate theatres at the 11th hour when the main stage at IPAC flooded during the final dress rehearsal before the 2022 show. JP will continue to be part of the Gang to share his knowledge & experience, however has decided to focus on his other Scouting endeavours, particularly investigating & preserving the history of Scouting in our Region.
BRAVO to you both!
