Welcome to Scouts Australia

INTERNATIONAL

International Scouting is a dynamic aspect of Scouting that is a must for any youth or adult member. Whether it is attending a camp or conference in Africa, Asia, Europe or just about any place on the planet, you will have the experience of a lifetime and make lifelong friendships.

Scouting isn’t just about your Group, Branch or Australia, it is about the world! International travel and the exchanging of ideas and hope between different people and cultures gives you a broader perspective on Scouting and your life.

On this site, you will find information about:

• International Scouting in general.
• Australia’s strong involvement in the Asia-Pacific Region (APR).
• Australian Contingents waiting for you to join.
• The multitude of exciting international events to attend, scholarship and exchange student opportunities.

• Pen-Pal Program.
• Historic Gifts for Peace Program
• Contacts and forms for you to pursue the path to the exciting world of International Scouting.

The pursuit of International Scouting can be affordable for every Scouting member, whether it is with the help of a highly sought after scholarship or via the many ways to fundraise of which we have devoted a whole menu/section of this website.  Despite what you may previously have thought, going overseas with Scouting is within your grasp.
