SCOUTS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATION 20152
In an era of increasing change,
today’s young people are shaped
by factors unknown to previous
generations. Today’s 4.6 million
Generation Zs (born since 1995) are
the students of today and the leaders
of tomorrow. They are truly the
21st Century generation with the
whole of their formative years lived
in this century.
They are sizable, digital, global,
visual and social. Their lives are
post-lifestage, their learning is
post-linear and their careers
post-structural. In these times
it becomes imperative for
organisations to understand
the times and shape the trends
– learning how to best engage
with the most formally educated,
technologically literate and materially
endowed generation in history.

SCOUTS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATION 2015 3
As the newly appointed Chief Commissioner of Australia it
gives me great pleasure to present the highlights of the
2014 – 2015 Scouting year.
At a global level Scouting has a target to grow membership
to 100 million by 2023. To get there, WOSM has developed a
triennial plan focused on youth involvement and education. If
this is achieved World Scouting’s population will grow to match
that of Japan’s.
As part of our commitment to World Scouting, Scouts Australia
has set our goal at 100,000 members in this time. We successfully
increased our membership by 5% over the past year, which if
we can retain that trend, will exceed our goal. If Scouts Australia
meets the WOSM growth rates, we would be 190,000 strong by
2023. We will do this by not only increasing our recruitment, but
retaining our youth members.
Keeping our program relevant to young people was the focus
of Scouts Australia’s largest body of work in recent decades: our
Youth Program Review. In the past year, over 19,000 hours of
volunteer work was dedicated to asking “What is good about
Scouting in Australia, and how can we make it better?”
Research indicates it has never been a better time to ask these
questions. Social indicators suggest that we are heading towards
major social change. Young people born since 1995 will lead
extremely different lives to those now aged older than 30.
I believe in order for Scouts Australia to achieve its mission, we
need to change how we do things - how we reach young people
and how we develop them.
The next phase for Scouts Australia will be the formation of
outcomes from the fi ndings of the Youth Program Review. Given
the quality of the research and the thoroughness of the review
process, I am confi dent our plans will keep Scouting relevant and
strong in a changing world.
For a start, we aim to involve more young people at the National
level of Scouting, with a goal of least 60% of National Team
Commissioners aged under 30 by the end of 2016.
While looking towards the future, I also look with admiration
on the achievements of our volunteers this year in continuing
to offer innovative youth programming, training, environment
and international activities. I am particularly proud to see we had
an increase of 28% of Venturer Scouts achieving the prestigious
Queen’s Scout Award this year.
I welcome our new Chief Scout of Australia His Excellency
General The Hon Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Rtd) who accepted
the role in 2014.
I thank The Hon Dame Quentin Bryce for her service to Scouts
Australia for the past six years.
Additionally I congratulate Mr Peter Blatch OAM, on his election
to the World Scout Committee in August 2014. Peter has been a
high profi le member of Scouts Australia for many years.
It also gives me great pleasure to thank our immediate past Chief
Commissioner of Australia, Mr Reg Williams for his outstanding
contribution to Scouts Australia over the past six years. Reg
worked continuously behind the scenes, providing the necessary
support and guidance to ensure Scouting remains Australia’s
premier youth organisation.
I thank and farewell our National Chairman, Mr David Jones.
David set Scouts Australia on a solid fi nancial footing over the
past six years and I thank him for the immense amount of work
and expertise he has given Scouting in that time.
Finally I thank our National Team, volunteer Leaders, supporters
and staff for their dedication to the delivery and support of
the Scout Program. It is clear your contribution has made a
difference to the lives of 55,000 young Australians by developing
their resilience, leadership and life skills. Scouting truly is
education for life.

SCOUTS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATION 20154
It is my pleasure, for the last time as your Chairman, to report
another successful year for Scouting in Australia.
My main task, with the support of a dedicated team, has been to
ensure that Scouts Australia is funded appropriately to deliver on
its mission and to provide high quality Scouting to its members.
Once again, this year we have been able to grow our investments
as well as well as provide signifi cant funding for both the
operations and development of the Scout program.
Scouts Australia has delivered an operating surplus of $280,655
compared to the approved budget of $7,637. More detailed
information on Scouts Australia’s fi nancial position can be found in
its audited fi nancial statements which are available on request or
can be found on the ACNC Charities website.
Our result was mainly due to our investment program which
has had excellent returns of dividends and capital gains. This
improved position has allowed Scouts to spend over $260,000
on the Youth Program Review. This review is still continuing
and additional funds will be needed over the next few years to
support the project.
During the year we also fi nalised the building of the training
centre in Timor Leste. Much of the credit for raising the necessary
funds and supervising the building of the centre goes to
Mr Neville Tomkins OAM, our International Commissioner.
It is important that we are ever watchful of our expenses and
controlling the budget items. Credit for our success in this area
goes to Mr Martin Thomas our National Chief Executive and
Mr John Bastian, Honorary National Treasurer, who have kept a
watchful eye on the fi nancials.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child
Sexual Abuse continued and Scouts Australia was asked to make
a presentation in March. Our contributions to the Commission
are continuing as they have sought our input and opinions on
various matters since.
Scouts Australia is fully supportive of the Royal Commission.
We acknowledge that the journey has just begun and the
National Association, representing our Branches, is aware of the
importance of this issue and is doing everything possible to assist
the process.
The Lord Baden-Powell Society has had a successful year, with
an operating surplus of $338,741. We were able to distribute
$197,850 to Branches. Our Jamboree Fund will allow us to
fi nancially support disadvantaged youth members to attend the
Jamboree at Cataract Scout Park in 2016.
I would like to acknowledge our immediate past Chief
Commissioner of Australia, Mr Reg Williams and his support to
all of us on the National Team. Reg put an enormous amount of
time and energy into the job and led the National Team by his
example. I am particularly grateful for the support he provided
to me in my role. In February our new Chief Commissioner
Mr Chris Bates was appointed. He has a hard act to follow and
I know that he is up to the task and has the full support of the
National team.
As this is my last report as Chairman, I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the National Team, the staff, and the
Branch Chief Commissioners and Chairpersons for their support
over the past six years. In that time, we have ventured into new
territory with such things as a new investment policy, WHS / Risk
Management, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses
to Child Sexual Abuse, eLearning, and the Youth Program Review.
Throw in a couple of major events – APR and World Conferences
– and the time has fl own by.
I believe that when you take on a role such as National
Chairperson, you should leave the job knowing that you had
done your best and left the situation better than when you started.
I hope I have been able to do just that.
I wish the National and Branch organisations every success in the
future and hope to see good growth in this wonderful Movement
which we all love.
Good Scouting to you all,
David W. Jones AM FCAChairman, National Executive Committee

Throughout 2014 Scouts Australia focused on its largest-ever internal review,
looking at the whole Scout program it offers young Australians. The review
process had commenced in 2013, but grew in momentum in 2014, resulting
in some 750 pages of fi ndings.
Eight volunteer teams from around Australia examined the issues that had arisen
in the earlier stages of the Review. Professional research companies studied Scout
and non-Scout families and provided an image of what Australian families want
from a youth development program like Scouting. Not surprisingly to those within
Scouting, many non-Scouting families nominated key Scouting values they would
like instilled in their children. These include responsibility, teamwork, respect,
confi dence, leadership and integrity.
It is clear that Scouting has the potential to reach and benefi t many more young
people. In addition to interviews and surveys, the work incorporated a snapshot of
Generations Z and Alpha – our current and future youth members.
Other research on retention, focused on why young people leave Scouting in the
young adolescent age group. Surveys and discussion took place at the Australian
Venture in January 2015. Scouts Australia members were given the opportunity
to contribute their opinions throughout the year. In total over 7,000 people
participated in surveys conducted by the Review team.
Scouts Australia also looked at how other countries had renewed their Scouting
programs following the guidelines Renewed Approach to Program set out by
the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). Scouts Canada and
Scouting Ireland, which have developed new Scouting programs, generously
shared their knowledge and sent representatives to Australia to speak to the
Review team personally.
The outcomes of the Review to date are hundreds of fi ndings, from which Scouts
Australia will develop a plan to stay relevant and attractive to young people for
generations to come.
Parents are at a cross-roads,
redefi ning which traditional
values they would like to
pass on to their children
while maintaining a level of
social relevance with them.
What Scouting brings is a
global opportunity locally
applied; timeless values
delivered in a contemporary
context and youth
development in a
digitally saturated era.

SCOUTS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATION 2015 7
Throughout 2014 Scouts Australia focused on its largest-ever internal review,
looking at the whole Scout program it offers young Australians. The review
process had commenced in 2013, but grew in momentum in 2014, resulting
in some 750 pages of fi ndings.
Eight volunteer teams from around Australia examined the issues that had arisen
in the earlier stages of the Review. Professional research companies studied Scout
and non-Scout families and provided an image of what Australian families want
from a youth development program like Scouting. Not surprisingly to those within
Scouting, many non-Scouting families nominated key Scouting values they would
like instilled in their children. These include responsibility, teamwork, respect,
confi dence, leadership and integrity.
It is clear that Scouting has the potential to reach and benefi t many more young
people. In addition to interviews and surveys, the work incorporated a snapshot of
Generations Z and Alpha – our current and future youth members.
Other research on retention, focused on why young people leave Scouting in the
young adolescent age group. Surveys and discussion took place at the Australian
Venture in January 2015. Scouts Australia members were given the opportunity
to contribute their opinions throughout the year. In total over 7,000 people
participated in surveys conducted by the Review team.
Scouts Australia also looked at how other countries had renewed their Scouting
programs following the guidelines Renewed Approach to Program set out by
the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). Scouts Canada and
Scouting Ireland, which have developed new Scouting programs, generously
shared their knowledge and sent representatives to Australia to speak to the
Review team personally.
The outcomes of the Review to date are hundreds of fi ndings, from which Scouts
Australia will develop a plan to stay relevant and attractive to young people for
generations to come.
Parents are at a cross-roads,
redefi ning which traditional
values they would like to
pass on to their children
while maintaining a level of
social relevance with them.
What Scouting brings is a
global opportunity locally
applied; timeless values
delivered in a contemporary
context and youth
development in a
digitally saturated era.

Rahul Barmanray is a doctor and Cub Scout Leader…
…but despite an already demanding schedule, he volunteered up to 20 hours a week
to participate as a Team Leader in the Youth Program Review.
Rahul attributes his career success to his involvement in Scouting “Learning fi rst aid
as a young Scout helped me decide to work in medicine” he says. “The resilience and
responsibility for self I learned through Scouting then helped me achieve that goal.”
Rahul recognises the enormous contribution Scouting made to his life, and when the
Youth Program Review presented the opportunity to improve Scouting for future
generations, he was eager to participate.
“This opportunity to review the whole Scouting program is revolutionary for
Scouts Australia, and is extremely necessary” says Rahul. “Not only had some
of our practices not been updated since the 1960’s, but as a society we are
at breakpoint. For decades people have grown up in similar community
structures as their parents. Children born today will be experiencing
things no other generation has, particularly as technology changes
how we live. Scouting needs to understand and embrace societal
changes so it can continue to offer its life-changing program to
young people for many years to come.”
Rahul has a clear vision of how he would like Scouting to be
positioned in the future. “We need to be widely recognised for
our achievements in youth development. We also have the
potential to build on our Group-life, so that Scout Groups develop
more strongly as a community. That has the potential to fi lter out
into wider communities and make them stronger.”

Christian and Austin are part of the first…
…Venturing in Schools Program operating in Victoria.
Both Venturer Scouts are working towards their Queens Scout Award, and as part of
this, are set to achieve the SAIT issued Certificate II in Business which will appear on
their VCE leaving certificate.
Neither Christian or Austin knew very much about Scouting before it was launched at
their school last year, but both are enthusiastic about how much fun they are having
and how Scouting has changed their lives.
“I was very shy and didn’t go out from home very much” says Christian. “It’s become
easier for me to speak with others. I’ve gained the confidence to join the choir, and I
am really enjoying volunteering with homeless people as part of my Venturing.”
“I am doing things I would never have before, like camping, canoeing and
first aid.”
Besides having lots of fun, Austin has learned new skills. “Planning our activities has
taught me time management, and how to effectively plan an event. Being a Venturer
has also motivated me to try new things I would not have otherwise.”
Both Austin and Christian were encouraged by their fathers to travel to Japan for the
2015 World Scout Jamboree. It will be a demanding year for Austin and Christian
with their impending trip, finishing their Queens Scout Award and their Cert II,
as well as their VCE this year, but both expressed gratitude for the opportunities
Scouting has given them – so much more than they had ever envisaged when
they first saw it as an option on their school’s elective subject list.
To be a well-rounded
citizen contributing to a
world where there are few
barriers to communicating
and interacting in a global
community, young people
need a balance of informal,
formal and non-formal
education. Scouting leads
and grows young people
in non-formal education.

HighlightsTRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Essential to a successful Scouting program are the
skills of our 14,000 Leaders, and Scouts Australia
invests many resources in high quality training. In 2014
an extensive two and a half year review of the adult
development and training curriculum was completed,
ensuring consistency across all Leader training conducted
in Australia, and allowing Leaders to transfer their
qualifications across Branches.
The Scouts Australia Institute of Training (SAIT), through
which Scouts Australia’s youth members and Leaders
can receive nationally-recognised training qualifications,
implemented significant structural changes to ensure
its compliance as a Registered Training Organisation
(RTO). This became necessary to meet the Australian
Government’s introduction of new standards for RTOs
on the first of January 2015. The subsequent changes
to policy, procedures, documentation and governance
enabled SAIT to operate Scouting in Schools, and allows
SAIT to be seen as a leader in the provision of industry
qualifications, especially in the Outdoor Recreation space.

NATIONAL ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES SCHOOL
Through SAIT, Scouts Australia again offered its Venturer
Scouts, Rover Scouts and Leaders the opportunity to gain
industry-recognised qualifications in outdoor recreation
at the 2nd National Adventurous Activities School, hosted
by Queensland Branch in January 2015.
Over 1200 individual units of competence were assessed
in activity areas as diverse as archery, abseiling, climbing,
bushwalking, canoeing, kayaking and challenge ropes
courses. Those who completed the SAIT qualifications are
now eligible to work in outdoor recreation professionally
should they wish.
A further 38 Venturers and Leaders were assessed in
kayaking, climbing and caving skills as part of the 2015
Venture in South Australia. Scouts Australia’s ability to
offer young people industry-recognised qualifications as
part of their Scouting has been a significant development
for the Association in the past few years.
Scouts Australia is working hard to continue to
offer this in the future.
ANNUAL STATISTICS 2014/2015 YEAR
SCOUTS AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT TO THE NATION 2015 11
AUSTRALIAN VENTURE
Nine-hundred Venturers attended the Australian Venture at
Woodhouse Activity Centre in South Australia in January 2015
where they were supported by 284 Leaders and over 100 other
supporters. Their ten days of fun included amongst many more
activities: sleeping in trees, scuba diving, skydiving, caving and
tall ship sailing.
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Scouts Australia’s youth members welcomed 39 delegates from
10 National Scout Associations in the Asia Pacifi c Region at the
Asia Pacifi c Region Workshop on Environmental Education in June
2014. The workshop allowed participants to share the programs
and tools they use to involve and educate young people in
environmental issues as part of Scouting around the world.
The Scouts Australia Environment Team provided a wealth of
online environmental resources to its Leaders, to encourage this
key element of Scouting across all age ranges, and help our youth
members achieved the World Scout Environment Badge.
Over 7,000 Scouts participated at 295 sites in the 25th Clean Up
Australia Day in March 2015, making an enormous contribution
to our environment.
Two Rover Scouts
presented a session at
the World Parks Congress,
a once in a decade event
that brought together
6,000 people to focus on
the connection of people,
parks and the planet. They
showed the rest of the
world how Scouting has
linked young people with
nature for over 100 years.
SCOUTS IN ACTION MONTH – BREAKING THE CYCLE
Scouts Australia actively works to eliminate bullying, and themed
its annual Scouts in Action Month ‘Breaking the Cycle – Bullying
is not Part of Scouting’. Twenty-seven and a half thousand
Scouts, Guides and Leaders participated in programs designed
to teach young people strategies to understand, recognise and
stop bullying.
Although schools often teach this, Scouts Australia recognises
that reinforcement is required outside of the school context.
Putting our resources
online also meant
that nine overseas
Scouting organisations
participated, including
Afghanistan, Ethiopia,

Scouts Australia has played a significant role in the……development of Scouting in Timor-Leste, and the opening of the Timor-Leste Scout Centre in Metinaro, outside of Dilli on
26th September 2014 was another milestone. Over several years, Scouts Australia’s youth members raised $176,000 in the
‘Dollars for Dilli’ and ‘World Scout Dollar Day’ campaigns to build the centre which is Scouts Australia’s largest international
project to date.
Additional funds were raised by the International Commissioner, Neville Tomkins who also project managed the Centre’s
construction. The Centre will be used for training adult Leaders from all over Timor-Leste as well as national
jamborees and Scout camps. Special effort was made to the toilet and shower blocks so that girls and young women
would be able to participate in Scouting more easily.
The Governor General and Chief Scout of Australia, his
Excellency the Hon Sir Peter Cosgrove whose speech
was read at the opening said “This Centre stands as a
testament to the commitment of Scouts Australia to
support its near neighbours in developing Scouting for
the benefi t of their young people.”
Scouting in Timor-Leste is growing at approximately
10% a year. Timor-Leste is Australia’s second nearest
neighbour and the world’s second newest nation, but
one of its poorest. Over half the population is under the
age of 18 years which presents signifi cant challenges for
Timor-Leste but enormous opportunities for Scouting.
INTERNATIONAL SCOUTING
The Scouts Australia International Program grew signifi cantly in
2014-2015, working towards the vision of ‘every youth member
of Scouts Australia to have an international experience’ regardless
of its shape or form. Well in excess of 1,000 youth members
actively participated in an international Scouting event or activity
throughout the year.
Forty-fi ve youth members travelled overseas as part of the Scout
International Student Exchange Program, with fi ve overseas
Scouts hosted in Australia. Over 500 Scouting penpal links were
made through our Penpal program, almost doubling the number
of links made the prior 12 months, due to new promotions and a
revision of program delivery.
Sixty-six Scouts and fi fteen Leaders travelled to the Fiji Centennial
Jamboree in August 2015, giving them a unique cultural experience.
Other contingents travelled to the New Zealand Rover Moot in
March 2014, the World Scout Youth Forum and the World Scout
Conference in Slovenia in August 2014.
An estimated 8,000 Australian Scouts joined almost one million
Scouts from around the world in the 57th Jamboree on the Air/
Jamboree on the Internet in October 2014.
In August 2014 Scouts Australia presented Kandersteg, the
International Scout Centre (KISC) in Switzerland with a refurbished
kitchen, paid for with funds raised through corporate donations. The
centre is a permanent mini-jamboree and seven Rovers travelled to
KISC during the year.
As an integral
part of our program
International Scouting offers
unique experiences to prepare
today’s youth for tomorrow’s
global society.

LORD BADEN-POWELL SOCIETY
The Lord Baden-Powell Society, with
a membership of over 900 donors,
celebrated 30 years in 2014 and
conducted a successful anniversary
appeal. Due to the generosity of donors
to the Jamboree Appeal, the Society has
been able to commit $180,000 in grants
to disadvantaged young people to attend the upcoming
2016 Jamboree. This is the highest amount the Society has
ever been able to offer to young people who would not
otherwise have had the opportunity to attend the event.
Scouts Australia sincerely thanks the Society’s members and
supporters for their continued generosity.
CONNECTING OUR MEMBERS
One of the keys to successful Scouting is to connect Leaders
with easy to use, inspiring programming. In 2014 Scouts
Australia upgraded and advanced many of its online systems.
The use of Facebook became more widely adopted
throughout the organisation, with sections such as
Environment and the Lord Baden-Powell Society using the
application to communicate more immediately and directly
with members. Scout Central was significantly upgraded
in December 2014 to provide a full suite of programs for
Leaders including thousands of programs, as well as tools for
easier administration and communication.
One such program ‘Join in Adventures’ allows Leaders to
combine resources for outings and adventurous activities,
providing more young people with the opportunity to
experience a wide range of Scouting activities. The new
site has been embraced by Scout Leaders with over 36,000
sessions recorded in the first three months of operation.

2014-2015 AwardsRECOGNISING ACHIEVEMENT
The Queen’s Scout Award for Venturer Scouts and the Baden-Powell Scout Award for
Rover Scouts are Scouts Australia’s highest youth awards. Young people who achieve them
have developed their leadership skills, and grown in character, tenacity and self-reliance
through adventure and community service. This year the number of Queen’s Scout
Award recipients rose to 203, an increase of 28% on the year before. Baden-Powell Scout
Awards also increased to 21 awarded during the year. In 2014 a number of universities
gave special entry provision to Queen’s Scouts, lowering the ATAR (entry) ranking by as
much as 25 levels, as part of their programs that recognise the personal qualities and
achievements Queen’s Scouts have gained.

The Mission of Scouts AustraliaTo contribute to the education of young people, through a value system based on the Promise and Law, to help build a better world, where people are self fulfi lled as individuals and play a constructive role in society.
We achieve this by:
• Involving young people through their formative years in a non-formal education process.
• Using a specifi c method that makes each individual the principal agent in his or her development as a self-reliant, supportive and committed person.
• Assisting them to establish a value system based upon spiritual, social and personal principles as
expressed in the Promise and Law.
