About Scouts Australia - Moonee Valley & Hume Districts
Scouts Australia is the single largest volunteer organisation for Youth Development in the entire country. With origins from over 100 years ago, the organisation aims to encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society as a member of their local, national and international community. These aims as identified by the founder, Lord Baden-Powell, are that Scouts serve their God, act in consideration of the needs of others and develop and use their abilities to the betterment of themselves, their families and the community in which they live.
Moonee Valley District began as Essendon District over 100 years ago. The District is formed by the suburbs of Ascot Vale, Avondale Heights, Airport West, Essendon, Keilor East, Kensington, Niddrie and Strathmore.
There are a total of nine operational Scout Groups throughout the district with a total of more than 300 Youth Members (6-17) and Young Adults (18-26). These members are led and supported by more than 50 trained leaders with countless assistance from parents and friends.
