The mission of scouting is to contribute to the education of young people, both boys and girls aged from 6 to 26 years. Through a value system based on the Scout Promise and Law, scouting helps build a better world where people are self-fulfi lled as individuals and play a constructive role in society. Challenge yourself for adventure and fun, learn new skills and make new friends. Try Rock-climbing, sailing and bush walking. Explore the wonders of the world, people, places and the wilderness.
