Leaders - 18+ years old Use the Contact form to get in touch with the Leaders or volunteer to join us and have sooo much fun! Young people benefit from leadership. They guidance of informed and caring adults helps them to develop self-reliance, initiative and responsibility. The world-wide Scout Movement offers this guidance through our Leaders, a team of dedicated, self-motivated individuals who take the time and the interest to help on a voluntary basis. If you care about the future generation, if you want to contribute, to learn about yourself and other people and want to have fun doing it, then we want you to join us as a Leader. Take Interest In The Community Leaders care not only about the young people under their guidance, but also about the communities in which they live. As a Leader, you'll be actively involved in planning and implementing projects to help your local community, and in expanding the community awareness of the young people in your group. You'll encourage a sense of responsibility and goodwill by participating together in activities. And you'll be helping to develop a future generation capable of making a positive contribution to the world in which they live. Interest Yourself The training program for Leaders is suited to the level of commitment you choose and is full of interest. If you're interested in the 6-8 year old age group you'll be a Joey Scout Leader helping young children take one of their first steps out into the world beyond their family and school. If you're interested in the 8-11 year old age group, you'll lead a Cub Scout Pack, which still requires a fair amount of adult supervision. If you're interested in the 11-15 year old age group, you'll lead a Scout Troop, which demands less direct leadership, but definite help in training for indoor, outdoor including water activities. As a Leader you'll carry out a specific type of program for each Section and you'll have as much fun as your Section members. Just ask other Leaders. You can interest others in working as a team and in participating in indoor and outdoor activities. The other Leaders you will meet in Scouting all have similar concerns to yours. Sometimes you can spend an evening in somebody's home, or spend a day trying out practical ideas to use in your Section. ACT Scouts has excellent residential training and camping facilities for you to use on group weekend occasions. It's all busy, creative, good fellowship. You'll also be meeting other experienced people who are anxious that you enjoy your Scouting work and get the most out of it. Together you can share your interests, plan programs and discover resources. Interest Has Its Rewards By taking an interest, by becoming involved, you'll find the experience of being a Leader has its own rewards. You'll find enormous satisfaction in helping young people achieve. Their achievements will be your achievements too. You can feel proud of their successes, and be spurred on by their progress. Your ability to relate to your Section members will give you a sense of growing accomplishment as their trust and confidence in you grows. And you'll know that you're helping young people to shape their lives and that means doing something significant for the future. Interested? If you're interested, there's only one thing left for you to do! Contact us to enquire about being a Leader with Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts. There's a world full of interest, fulfillment and enthusiastic youngsters out there waiting for you to begin.

Rovers - 18 to 25 years old Use the Contact form to get in touch with the Rovers. No other leisure time activity offers as much! The local Rover crew usually meet at the LGSS Scout Hall on Tuesday nights: 7:45-9:30pm in Terms 1 & 4 (summer) 7:30-9:30pm in Terms 2 & 3 (winter) Challenging outdoor activities such as bushwalking, canoeing, sailing, caving, ski-touring, canyoning, four-wheel driving, rock-climbing and scuba diving all form an important part of a Rover's calendar. Social activities such as BBQ's, bush dances, going to the movies, nights out, car rallies and "Moots" (gatherings of Rovers on a local, national and sometimes international level) also feature on an active Rover's program. A group of Rovers is known as a "Crew" and each Rover Crew is different, tailoring its activities to the requirements of its members. Crews vary in size from a handful of members to as many as fifty. Most crews meet weekly. The friends you make within this group will be lifelong! A Crew's activities are planned and run by the Rovers themselves, and there is plenty of opportunity to develop personal abilities and learn new skills. A Rover may become involved in organising a simple weekend away for just a few people, a major event involving thousands of participants, or anything in between!Anyone can become a Rover - there's no need to have any previous involvement with Scouting, or any outdoor activities experience. Take the plunge - try Rovers! Contact deets are on our public Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LakeGinnRC

The friendliest Scout group in Canberra providing adventure for young people aged 5 to 25 years. Located on the foreshore, Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts focus on water activities (sailing & canoeing) as well as doing traditional Scouting. Our amazing hall is also available for groups to hire and use. Welcome to Lake Ginnindera Sea Scouts Lake Ginninderra Sea Scouts (LGSS) are located on the shores of Lake Gininnderra at the Belconnen Town Centre in the Australian Capital Territory. We have a purpose-built Scout hall and being a Sea Scout group we have a well equipped boat shed with a large range of sail boats and canoes. Although our activities are based in, on or around the water in the summer months LGSS still participate in a broad range of land based activities like camping, hiking, abseiling and lots more. LGSS compliments the family and school by providing an opportunity for young people to explore their boundaries while learning important life skills. Scouts discover the world beyond the classroom tapping into the skills of others to learn, and then passing that knowledge on. Scouting is a Movement on the move. In an ever-changing world , Scouting changes to adapt to the needs of members. Scouting is no longer just knot tying and badge work. Scouts develop skills they need for life, by encouraging fun, friendship, caring and learning. Like most Scout Groups, LGSS is completely run by volunteers. We have an amazing array of people who help to make everything happen for our Scouts: a fabulous Group Leader, amazing Adult Leaders, an industrious Group Support Committee, switched on Youth Patrol Leaders, and a very supportive group of parents and careers.

JOEY SCOUTS - 5 to 8 years old FUN starts here! Joey Scouts are the youngest section of the Scouting movement where the emphasis is on fun and friendship in a non competitive environment. At this age children need experiences which help them learn to work and play in groups outside of home and school environments, to develop their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual abilities through active experiences. Joey Scouts are encouraged to express themselves creatively, through games, stories and craft activities. Building monsters and spaceships from recycled scrap items, growing plants from seedlings or singing songs together all develop a strong sense of belonging. The Joey Scout theme is "Help Other People" (HOP) and sets the direction upon which activities are based and give concrete expressions of sharing with their friends, helping and caring about others. Joeys wear a special scarf and shirt so everyone knows they are Joey Scouts.
