Scouting in New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scouting in New South Wales is a branch of Scouts Australia in the State of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Scouting started in New South Wales in 1908, shortly after its founding in the United Kingdom. The 2003 Scout Census indicated that there were 16,151 youth members in NSW, of whom 22% were girls.
The Sydney Scout Park (formerly Cataract Scout Park) in Appin has hosted three Jamborees, including the 16th World Scout Jamboree in 1987. There is an Air Activities Centre at Camden, an Alpine Activities Centre in Jindabyne, a Water Activities Centre in Woolwich, the Camp Ku-Ring-Gai Activity Centre at Ku-ring-gai and many other campsites and activity centres. The Scout Memorabilia Centre is in Belfield.
