The Group Committee  

The Group Committee is a dedicated group of parents, and community members, that work hard to ensure that our Group has sufficient funds, and policies in place, to enable the Leaders to run great Scouting programs for our Youth Members.

Committee meetings are open to all parents to attend. Our Group is keen for the views of all parents - Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers to be heard. Attending the Group Committee meeting is the perfect avenue for you to voice any concerns you may have. All parents (not just those on the Committee) are invited to attend the monthly Committee meeting.

Group Committee meetings are on the last Tuesday of each month (excluding school holidays).

The role of a Scout parent

It takes a lot of caring, enthusiastic parents to make a Scout Group work.  A Scout Group can only exist as a result of parent involvement. When you sign your child up to become a Scout Member, not only are there certain expectations on your child, but also the family. It is expected that you will be able to support your children by volunteering to help out in various ways.

We need parents to train as Leaders, we need parents to serve on the Committee to make sure all the jobs around the Scout Hall get done; we need all families to help with fundraising. Without funds we cannot train new Leaders, run the hall, or replace worn out equipment.

We need parents to serve on rosters for Joeys and Cubs plus assist with BBQ’s, fundraising and working bees. This may sound like a lot, but if we all pitch in and share the load the work is not too hard, some of it is even fun.

We can only offer the best Scouting experience for all our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Leaders, if we have the active support of all families.
