Epping Scout Group

Epping Scouts is a vibrant Scouting group in Northern Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Formed on 3rd July 1915, the Group is one of the oldest continuously running Groups in Australia.

All 5 scouting sections are represented – starting at age 6 with Joeys and running through Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and finally the young adult group, Rovers, until they turn 26.

Scouts participate in a wide range of exciting activities - including camps, hiking and even water sports at our own boatshed, and we all have great fun. We are very much a part of the local community.

New Members

New members of all ages are welcome. However, we do have significant waiting lists in all of our younger sections so we suggest you put your name down early. If you are interested in joining the Epping Scout Group, please contact GL.Epping@nsw.scouts.com.au.
