Adult Volunteers
SECTION LEADERS
The heart of the Scouting journey. From weekly meetings and outdoor adventures to celebrating badge achievements and personal growth, they guide young people every step of the way. It's one of the most popular and fulfilling volunteer opportunities in Scouting, offering countless memorable experiences for both leaders and youth members. Volunteers can choose from five sections, each supporting a different age group.

Joey Leader
Joeys is the youngest age group in Scouting. Boys and girls aged 5 – 8 join what is called a Mob, made up of no more than 20 children. Joey Scout meetings are short and usually include light activities such as games, science experiments, arts and crafts, music etc. The Mob is led by at least two adult leaders, usually a Joey Scout Leader and an Assistant Joey Scout Leader
Cub Leader
Cubs is one of our largest and most popular Sections. Cubs Scout enjoy an active program that encourages them to overcome challenges, is intellectually stimulating and what’s more, is adventurous. As a Cub Leader you will most likely find yourself going on some exciting weekend trips (i.e. caving, camping, canoeing etc.) and attending local events like our Cuboree.
Scout Leader
Volunteers who are very active and like getting outdoors will really enjoy the Scouts Section. One of the main foci in the Scout Section is to provide character development and leadership, while at the same time providing an opportunity for fun activities such as hiking, abseiling and camping. Volunteers have a range of specialists whom they can call on to help with activities ranging from land, sea and air.
Venturer Leader
Venturers organise and run their own activities with leader support. Venturer Leaders are there to guide them and oversee their program. The highest award in Venturers is the King's Scout. This award recognises people who can set their own challenging goals and achieve them.
Rovers
Rover units are self-run and meet with a Rover Advisor who guides them along their discovery journey. Rovers are actively encouraged to become better citizens through taking part in Scouts Australia's nationally accredited training programs, developing leadership skills, participating in outdoor activities, attending national and international events, providing service to the community and generally building their life skills.
Parent Helpers assist Scout Leaders with planning and delivering activities, camps, and meetings, helping create great experiences for young people. Parent Helpers are registered adult members of Scouts ACT and must complete a background check. It's a flexible and enjoyable way to contribute, meet new people, and be part of the Scouting adventure.
Scout Leaders make Scouting happen. With opportunities ranging from working directly with young people to supporting group operations or delivering specialist activities, there's a role for every passion and skill set. Read on for a brief overview of each role.
