WELCOME TO THE WORLD’S LARGEST YOUTH MOVEMENTThank you for enquiring about the Baden Powell Park Scout Group. We are the biggest Scout group in Victoria and have achieved that status because of the quality of our more than 30 leaders and the programs they run for our 200 youth members. We are one of the few groups in the world to carry the name of the founder of Scouting, Lord Robert Baden Powell. He stayed in the South Frankston area in 1934-35, when Frankston hosted Australia’s first scouting Jamboree and the first jamboree held outside Europe. It was a massive event of 12,000 people spread over 280 acres. Baden Powell Drive and Baden Powell Reserve commemorate his involvement and his founding of the most amazing youth organisation in the world Scouting is now over 100 years old and boasts more than 28 million members in 130 countries. Incredibly, it is almost completely run on a voluntary basis. Baden Powell Park is the group name for the four levels of scouting we offer, which are open to boys and girls: • Joey Scouts (6 and 7 year olds) (Wednesday nights) • Cub Scouts (8 to 11 year olds) Warrington Pack (Monday nights) Thorpe Pack (Tuesday Nights) Norwich Pack (Friday nights) • Scouts (11 to 15 year olds) Hunters Troop (Thursday nights) Explorers Troop (Monday nights) • Venturers (15 to 18 year olds) Narringalling Venturer Unit (Tuesday nights) |
