Whether you're a seasoned Scout looking to pass on your passion to our next generation of community leaders or new to the Scouting community altogether, there's never been a better time to get involved! Discover the world of opportunities to become an adult in Scouting.
Scouts NSW has received many beautiful quilts from the community of quilters across NSW, Australia and some from around the world. While a small number were items in our recent Emergency Relief Campaign auction, most of them are ‘gifts of love’ that will be presented to our Scouting families and members of their communities who have been impacted by the bushfires and drought.
One of these beautiful quilts was recently presented to Kim Macdonald, daughter of the Late Bob Macdonald, the longest serving International Commissioner of Scouts NSW. Sadly, Kim’s home was destroyed by bushfire in December. Everything was lost. This gift of a handmade quilt will remind Kim of the many people in the broader community that come together in times of adversity to support members of the Scouting family.
Our Leaders come from all different walks of life, but one thing that binds them together is their shared passion to empower and inspire young people in their journey to become the leaders of the future.
Cathy Foley is a leader in her own right – both as a Joey Scout Leader at North St Ives Scout Group, and a leader in the scientific community as the Chief Scientist at the CSIRO. Cathy recently spoke with the Australian Financial Review about her experience as a Joey Scout Leader and how she hopes to inspire a new generation of scientists through Scouting.

There are many reasons CSIRO chief scientist Cathy Foley has stayed a Joey Scout leader – even now that her children have grown up.Scouting is all about young people. It's also about the Sustainable Development Goals and our environment. The Children's Festival at The Rocks on 5 April will be a wonderful celebration of both young people and the environment.
Put this fantastic event in your calendar and come to visit the Scouts stand while you're there!
