Scouts provide young Aussies aged 5 to 25 (and older adult members) with fun and challenging opportunities to grow through adventure. 1st Blackheath Scouts undertake traditional Scouting skills such as camping and bushcraft, plus more extreme challenges such as overnight hiking, canoeing, climbing, and abseiling. We opened our Scout group in Blackheath in 1918. Our very active Scout group has many members of all ages and we are always happy to welcome new interested members - both youth and adult.
