Scouts SA Now Accepts Sports Vouchers!

What is the Sports Vouchers Program? It is an SA Government initiative that helps families cover the costs of their children's sports and recreation activities. All children living in South Australia, from Reception to Year 9, are eligible for a Sports Voucher each calendar year.

The Sports Voucher Program contributes $100 to the Branch Membership Fee (in the Reynella Scout Group the Branch Membership Fee is included in the Term Fee payment).

Scouts SA hopes that the Sports Voucher Program makes Scouting more accessible and affordable for everyone.  Apply today via the online portal!

When the use of your Sports Voucher is approved your will be notified by Scouts SA Head Office via email. The Scout Group will then split the discount throughout your remaining term fee invoices for the calendar year.

Sun Smart Scouting

The Reynella Scout Group supports sun smart behaviours. We request that all member bring a broad brim hat along to Scouting activities. (This includes activities at the Hall as we often visit the local park.) Caps do not provide adequate sun protection and are discouraged.

We also encourage members to bring a drink bottle to weekly meetings.

Facility Improvements

Have you seen works underway at the Reynella Scout Hall recently? In the last few months of 2023 the Scout Group delivered a number of improvement projects, namely:

We know our members will enjoy and benefit from these improvements into the future. Thank you to the Local and Federal Government bodies who supported these projects.

Part of our Group Plan is to "provide quality resources and facilities required to support members to participate in the Scouts Australia Youth Program". These facility improvements link directly back to this.
