Youth Advisory Council

Welcome to the Scouts Australia (SA Branch) Youth Advisory Council (YAC) website!

What is the Youth Advisory Council?
The YAC (Youth Advisory Council for Scouting in South Australia) is a group of aware Youth members who want to make a difference in Scouting by helping it to improve.

The YAC makes changes by finding issues, discussing them, and then making recommendations to the relevant people. If there is an issue you would like the YAC to work on, send it in or speak to any YAC member you will see at most major events, you can't miss them, just look for the bright orange jumpers and hats!

Who can belong to the YAC?
ANYONE who is a current Youth Member of Scouts Australia (SA Branch). The group consists of Youth members including Rovers, Venturers and Scouts from various districts in SA. We have new members applying all the time. So if you are under the age of 25 and a registered member of Scouting SA, you are eligible to join YAC.

Want to join YAC?
We are always keen to have new members in YAC, and we encourage anyone who is interested to come along and have a look, then join if they like what they see (or even if you don't like what you see, join and change it!)

All you need to do is email us (bc.yac@sa.scouts.com.au) or download the application form from our website, fill it in and send it to Troy Williams, who is the Branch Commissioner for YAC.

You must make sure you are currently a registered member of Scouts Australia. You will also need to be in contact with you District Commissioner or Group Leader.

We hope you join up, as we are always keen to have more people helping out and bring new points of view and ideas to the YAC!
