Scouts NSW engages and inspires young Australians to develop confidence, resilience and leadership. During the past 12 months to June 2023, Scouts NSW had 15,980 members. Scouts NSW has delivered the Scout program to 12,610 Youth members aged from 5 to 25 years of age, courtesy of 3,370 adult volunteer Leaders and supporting members, with the support of a small number of professional employed staff. Scouts NSW is open to boys and girls of all cultures and diverse backgrounds. The mission of Scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Scout promise and law, to help build a better world where people are selffulfilled as individuals and play a constructive role in society. We achieve this by involving young people through their formative years in a nonformal educational process, using the Scout method that makes each individual the principle agent in their own development as a selfreliant, supportive, responsible and committed person, and assisting them to establish a value system based on social, personal and spiritual principles as expressed through the Scout promise and law. Our fun, adventurous, outdoor activities are enjoyable, and community based, encourage a learning by doing approach to enable our youth members to take responsible risks, reach new heights, and develop leadership and teamwork skills whilst providing skills and friendships for life. Accredited ATO training is provided to Leaders to support the Scout program. Income to deliver the Scout program is generated by membership fees, fundraising, government grants and investment income.
