We are a family focused, educationally based group that focuses on the development and wellbeing of children. Scouting is education for life, it fills the gap left by the school system and develops self-knowledge. "I still have the need to explore, to discover, to want to know". Scouts discover a world beyond the class room, they learn by doing and are encouraged to pass that knowledge onto others.

Through this process scouting aims to develop the child socially, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and physically.

At Jimboomba Scouts we function on three levels:

The first level is delivered by the leaders who volunteer their time and their energy to each and every child. Their role is to deliver an exciting program in accordance to Scouts Australia guidelines. When they sign up they commit to undertake study to meet that expectation. We are always looking for the next generation of suitable leaders, so if you think you have what it takes then let us know.

The second level on which we function is by means of a support committee. The committee’s role is to provide the Scouting Leaders with everything they need to deliver their program and coordinate the raising of those funds to keep the den running. These roles include chairperson, secretary, treasurer, fundraising coordinator, publicity coordinator, quartermaster and other committee members.

The third level is for everyone else, who has not taken up any other role in the organisation, to volunteer their time to actually raise the funds needed to keep the den and the scouting programs running. This is usually a few hours at fundraising event or a working bee. So, when your child becomes a member of Jimboomba Scouts you are required to support that journey and become one of the Jimboomba Scout family.
