Scouting is still operating during this challenging time facing Queensland. We are developing a range of online resources for all ages that individuals can do at home and through virtual meetings to support Scout Groups in the delivery of the Youth Program.

Check out our main website for resources by clicking here.

We’ll be adding more programs and activities each week. If you’ve got a program idea send it through to homescouts@scoutsqld.com.au
We’d also love to see the results of your activity so send any photos you are happy for us to publish to photos@scoutsqld.com.au

On Saturday the 19th of October, his Excellency the Honourable Paul de Jersey AC, Governor of Queensland opened the new Cleveland Scout Den. What an amazing day, even with the rain! Some tears were shed as we remembered and reflected on the old Den and now, we have an incredible future in our new building. Thank you for everyone’s help today, we could not have pulled this event off without you.

A special thank you to all our major project sponsors you helped make the new scout den a reality.

Here are some photos of today’s event.

Our builder handed over our new building on Friday 16th August : 17 months and 6 days since the arson event.  This is a massive success for Scouts Cleveland in this short time frame.  The Cleveland sections moved into the new building on Sunday 18th August 2019 and the sections have started meeting there again from the 20th of August.

While we have keys and access to the building, there is still some maintenance work to be completed and we still have to stock the building.  We have a full commercial kitchen, several rooms for storage and section use.

We are now keen to get the community using our new facility and if you are interested in hiring the hall please contact us on hello@clevelandscouts.org.au
