2008 - Year of the Scout

Scouts Australia NSW is turning 100 this year and there are many exciting events and programs on offer that will offer all Members that opportunity.

1st Avoca Beach Scouts will be Celebrating “The Year of the Scout” and the Australian Centenary of Scouting. We will be incorporating many of the Centenary events into our program for this year so please make sure you join in.

This is a fantastic year to promote and celebrate Scouting in Australia, to engage your local community, demonstrating the value of Scouting to young people and adults.

All Year of the Scout Centenary Information relating to State Events can be found on this page - www.nsw.scouts.com.au/centenary. It will be updated regularly, so be sure to visit it often.

I wish you all the best as we prepare to celebrate this very important year.

2008 - Welcome to the Year of the Scout !

Welcome to 2008 and what a big year it will be for scouts in Australia!
This year is the Centenary of scouts in Australia and the declared year of the scout.
Look where our flag is flying!



From New Year’s Day, the Scouts Australia flag is proudly flying from the western flag pole on top of the Harbour Bridge to mark 100 years of Australian Scouting.

To recognise the significance of this special Centenary year, NSW Premier Morris Lemma fully supported this initiative. The Australian Government has declared 2008 to be the ‘Year of the Scout’.

Grant De Fries, Chief Commissioner for Scouts Australia NSW, says that the opportunity to fly the Scout Flag from such an iconic location is a great way to start the many planned events throughout the year, such as the Australia Day Spectacular at Darling Harbour, and the 100 Good Turns Initiative.

“We have a lot to celebrate this year and our Centenary is a wonderful chance to share the benefits of Scouting with the young people and their families of NSW’, he said.

Get ready to share in the Centenary fun with a lot of great activities planned during the year. Now is a great time to be in or join scouts now. Come and join in the Centenary fun with 1st Avoca Beach Scouts now!
