About Us
Bundoora Scouts has been empowering young people in Melbourne's north since the 1960s. Learn about our history, our leaders, and what makes us tick.
Our Story
Bundoora Scout Group has been part of the local community for over 50 years. We’re a volunteer-run group operating under Scouts Victoria, proudly located in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. Our group is part of the Banyule District, in the Plenty Valley Region within the Victorian Branch of the Scout Association of Australia.
From the earliest campfires in the 1960s to today’s multi-day expeditions and community projects, we’ve been committed to one thing: helping young people grow.
Our History
Three Bundoora Scout Groups helped shape the Group that meets at Telfer Reserve today. Their surviving records include hundreds of youth registrations and adult appointments, sixteen Queen’s Scouts, local newspaper stories and more than six decades of service.

What We Stand For
We believe that Scouting is one of the most powerful youth development programs in the world. Our program is:
- Youth-led – Young people plan and run their own activities
- Inclusive – Open to all backgrounds, abilities, and interests
- Outdoors-focused – The bush is our classroom
- Community-driven – We give back as much as we take in
Our Leaders
Bundoora Scouts is powered entirely by dedicated volunteers – parents, young adults, and community members who give their time to create extraordinary experiences for youth.
All our leaders are Working with Children Check verified, first-aid trained, and receive ongoing Scouts Victoria training.
Our Hall
We meet regularly at our hall in Bundoora. The hall is also available for hire to community groups and for private functions.
Our Sponsors
We are incredibly grateful to the local businesses and organisations that support Bundoora Scouts. Their generosity helps us provide high-quality equipment and experiences for our youth members.
