About us
A local Group, part of something worldwide
1st Asquith Scout Group gives young people from Asquith and the surrounding suburbs a place to be adventurous, be themselves and be prepared.
Who we are
We’re a community Scout Group run entirely by volunteers, with Sections for Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers.
We belong to Scouts NSW and Scouts Australia, and through them to a worldwide movement of more than 50 million Scouts. That means our young people follow a nationally recognised program, our adult leaders are trained and accredited, and there’s a huge network of camps, activity centres and events to take part in.
Closer to home, we’re simply a friendly bunch of families, leaders and young people who meet each week at the hall on Lords Avenue and get outdoors as often as we can.
How Scouting works
Scouts learn by doing. Each Section uses the same simple cycle: Plan an activity, Do it, then Review what worked and what you’d change. As young people get older they take on more of the planning and leading themselves.
- Small teams. Young people work in Patrols, so everyone has a role and nobody gets lost in the crowd.
- Personal progression. Each Scout sets their own goals and moves through the program at their own pace.
- The outdoors. Nature is the best classroom we know, so that’s where we try to be.
- Community. Scouts are encouraged to notice what needs doing around them, and to help.

What we stand for
The Scout Promise and Law
Every Scout in Australia, from the youngest to the oldest leader, makes the same Promise and tries to live by the same Law.
On my honour, I promise to do my best, to be true to my spiritual beliefs, to contribute to my community and our world, to help other people, and to live by the Scout Law.
Be Respectful
Be friendly and considerate. Care for others and the environment.
Do What is Right
Be trustworthy, honest and fair. Use resources wisely.
Believe in Myself
Learn from my experiences. Face challenges with courage.

Adult volunteers
Grown-ups have fun here too
Our Group only runs because adults give their time: as uniformed leaders, on the Group committee, or as the parent who’s handy with a trailer. You don’t need any Scouting experience. Scouts NSW provides training, and every adult working with young people holds a Working With Children Check.
If you’ve got a few hours and some enthusiasm, we’d love to hear from you.
