25.01.2022 3rd Wodonga Scout Group is run totally by volunteer parents! Our Section Leader Team is entirely made up of volunteers who enjoy running the weekly programs! All of our Leaders have up to date training, have Working with Children checks and there is always at least one adult who has a current first aid qualification. If you would like to opportunity to do something you’d never thought of doing, while having lots of fun and giving back to the community at the same time, please... get in touch we can always do with some more Leaders!

25.01.2022 Rover Scouts Ages 18-25 Rovers welcome men and women, they don’t need to have any Scouting experience, but you do need to keep up with some adventurous people and their adrenalin-packed adventures! Every Crew is different. Each has its own traditions, special interests and personalities. A Rover Crew runs itself, with an elected Crew Leader and executive. Rovers enjoy helping others, having a great time and taking on new challenges. You’ll need a ‘give it a go’ attitude and y...ou’ll be rewarded with some serious fun. Rovers get down and dirty each year in a mud bash and costumed chaos reigns at the annual ball. There’s a surfing camp at Anglesea, or an Easter hiking challenge. Plus you can enjoy our own ski chalet near Falls Creek. Every three years, Rovers converge on one location for a ten-day extravaganza of activities at the National Moot. There are Rover Councils at regional and state level, helping to shape our organisation. And there are many training opportunities to build skills that are widely recognised outside Scouting. Our motto is ‘Service’. The Scouting movement is all about producing leaders, and here’s where Rovers get to shine. You’ll be able to help lead activities with younger Scout groups and make a difference in young people’s lives. This means a Working with Children check for all over 18s, but it’s a small price to pay for the rewards of leadership. You’ll also have opportunities to bring about positive change in your community. Want to know more? Message us here on Facebook or email us at [email protected] See more

21.01.2022 McDonald's Hill hike and geocaching tonight. What a great hike!

21.01.2022 Scouts Ages 11-14 Scouts is for boys and girls to enjoy learning life skills and Scouting values in a safe, fun and youth-driven environment. As members work their way through the higher age groups on the Scouting pathway, they’re gradually given more responsibility for themselves and others. The activities and badges become more challenging as well. Camping for Scouts can mean a new level of self-sufficiency, and adventures can demand a greater level of risk management. Patr...ol Activities are at the heart of the program. Scouts are encouraged to Plan, Do and Review activities that interest them on the way to achieving their all-important Pioneer Badge, Explorer Badge or Adventurer Badge. The whole activity, including cost and transport arrangements, is planned with their Patrols and presented to their Troop Council for approval. Examples might include a canoeing day, a sailing course or a geocaching adventure. Afterwards, the activity is reviewed and the Troop Council decides whether to give the Patrol Activity Badge. Scouting is youth-led and adult-supported. Leaders are often scratching their heads in amazement at the wonderful ideas that youth members come up with! Want to know more?

20.01.2022 Members of 3rd Wodonga Scout Group recently conducted their Clean Up Australia Day with a clean up of the popular Huon Hill. This event finished off with a mass presentation and investiture parade. 2 Joey Scouts, 3 Cub Scouts, 2 Scouts, 1 Venturer Scout, 1 Leader and 1 District Commissioner all invested. 1 linking from Cub Scouts to Scouts.... 1 Australian Scout Medallion presentation. Scouting is definitely growing in this area.

19.01.2022 Venturer Scouts Ages 15-17 Our Venturer Scout Unit is a safe, friendly and active place for your teenager to join. Venturers are young people dedicated to fun, adventure and serving the community. When you’re dealing with your toughest years in school and making decisions about your future, Venturers offer vital breathing space. You can focus on friendship and personal growth, while picking up valuable life skills along the way. Venturers enjoy interstate, national and even... international travel experiences. We take time out to work on mental and physical well-being. You can learn to fly, abseil down cliffs or climb mountains. Camping steps up to a whole new level of adventure, with snow challenges, rafting, horse riding and scuba diving. It’s all about healthy risk-taking, when so many young friends are making unhealthy choices. Want to know more? Message us here on Facebook or email us at [email protected] See more

19.01.2022 Cub Scouts Ages 8-10 Cub Scouts is for boys and girls and they meet once a week as well as going on some super cool weekend activities. There are fun camps for Cub Scouts which could have interesting themes like ‘Space Odyssey’ or ‘Pirates on the High Seas’. Those who achieve their ‘Camp Out’ badge can join a 5-day ‘Cuboree’ with hundreds of other excited Cub Scouts at Gilwell Park, near Gembrook. Cub Scouts play fantastic games like scavenger hunts or they might build a cata...pult together. They can also earn a range of badges for bushcraft, cooking, canoeing and many other skills. There’s even a ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ badge, designed with the help of Victoria Police, which involves the Cub Scouts being aware of emergency phone numbers and learning about security issues for themselves or their homes.

10.01.2022 Scouting offers adults a host of rewarding opportunities to help make a difference in young people’s lives. You’re never too old to join the adventurous life of Scouting, even if you haven’t been involved before. Young adults, of 18 to 25, can also join Rovers for some amazing challenges and adventures. The personal satisfaction of helping young people to achieve their goals is immense, and your sense of personal achievement when you help them through a hurdle is nearly as st...rong as theirs! Where else can you take part in abseiling, rock climbing, scuba diving, and countless other adventurous activities with wonderful company and low costs? Scouting Leaders have incredible travel opportunities, interstate and overseas, to share discoveries with youth members. And you’re never alone, with thousands of fellow Leaders to turn to in a giant, supportive network of friends. Don’t let the kids have all the fun! Want to know more?

09.01.2022 In preparation for a busy 2020 scouting year our Leaders and Committee got together to swap ideas while enjoying a meal. We have some exciting activities planned for our youth members.

09.01.2022 Joey Scouts Ages 5-7 This is the first section of the Scouting journey. Joey Scouts meet each week as a Joey Scout Unit, and wear their Section’s uniform shirt, the scarf of our Group and a woggle to hold their scarf together. For our youngest members, the Joey Scout program nurtures a deeper understanding of the world around them, with a growing awareness of their surroundings and nature, by getting out and about in the community. Joey Scouts can also earn badges through the...ir activities. The highest achievement in the Joey Scout section is the Promise Challenge award. Every two years, Joey Scouts have the opportunity to attend a Kangaree, a massive overnight sleepover with activities and entertainment with hundreds of Joey Scouts from all over the State.
