Geocache Description:

This is the sixth cache in this series to show just how many scouts we have in Australia.

My kids are part of this great movement and I am a leader as well. Some of these kids have shown an interest in geocaching so why not help them participate.

This cache is at another little Scout Hall




Scouting in Australia

The visits made to Australia by Baden-Powell in 1912 and in later years (1931-34) encouraged the extension of the Movement in Australia.

Although each State Branch in Australia was directly and individually responsible to Imperial Headquarters in London, there grew a desire to achieve co-operation at a higher level so a Federal Council of nominees from each State Council was formed in 1922. This body later appointed an Australian Commissioner. For more than 30 years, Scouting was co-ordinated by the Australian Federal Scout Council which functioned as a Branch of the British Boys Scout Association.

In 1958 the adjuration of the Australian Boys Scout Association took place and in 1967 the National Organisation was incorporated by Royal Charter.

The name of the Association was changed to the Scout Association of Australia in 1971.

Australia was made a member of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM) in 1953 and is a Founder Member of the Asia-Pacific Region.


In the field of support and co-operation with other member countries of the Asia Pacific Region, the organisation has contributed to a number of international friendship and community development projects. Over the years, Australian Scouts have supported emerging Scout Associations in the South Pacific and around the world. A twinning project with the Bangladesh Scouts, known as the "Bangladesh-Australia Child Health" (BACH) project, made a dramatic impact on child health in project villages during its operation from 1986–1992.
