What we do?
Weekly: So we meet weekly during the year at the scout hall. The scouts plan those nights and are meant to run them. Leaders aim to have older scouts capable of doing that who mentor the younger ones. A night usually consists of a game and a major activity for example: navigation, cooking, science etc.
Term: We try to do at least one activity/camp a term for the troop. This could be a visit somewhere, a walk, ride, scuba, swimming, canoeing or a camp. It also could be an ASM hike.
Year: Every year there are numerous set events that occur at the same time run by Scouts Victoria. We try to do as many as possible. See below for the list of them.

So scouts is youth led. This means our we do what the kids want within the scout framework. If they want to take apart stuff and find how it works, we get stuff to take apart! Additionally there are set opportunities every year that the scouts can choose to take part in. They decide what they do.
