Scouts ACT is guided by a dynamic leadership team made up of dedicated volunteers, board members, patrons and staff.  Their shared focus is supporting both youth and adults across the ACT throughout their Scouting adventures, both locally and abroad.

Our Scouts are curious, capable and adventurous young people supported by both dedicated adult leaders and helpers.  Find out more on how to join your local Scout group below.

Scouts ACT's 2024–2027 Strategic Plan outlines our organisational direction for the coming years, and the actions necessary to deliver our objectives. Strategic planning is essential to effective leadership and long-term growth as an organisation.

Scouting was founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell on 1st August 1907.  Not soon long after, Scouting spread throughout the world, with Scout Groups starting in Australia in 1908.
