Working closely with the Group Leader, in this leadership role, you will be trained to support section leaders to run and organise a program of adventurous and educational activities for kids aged 8-10 and 11-14, including camps, weekly activities, outdoor adventures and practical learning. You will also work closely with the Group Support Committee who oversee the fundraising, finances and operations of the Scout Group.

You will make the Scout Promise and be invested with a uniform and scarf as a member of the worldwide scout movement. You will join a diverse team of adults, including youth and parents and will find friendship and community.

Fitzroy Scout Group is fortunate to have a strong team of leaders and are an example of how a community and the Scouting movement can work together for our youth. The Group also has a specific focus on supporting young people living in public housing to access the development opportunities of Scouting, through reducing economic barriers to participation.
