Practical support for running your Group

This page pulls together the tools Group Leaders use most. Running a Scout Group means juggling programs, people, paperwork and property — often in the same week. These resources help you stay on top of all four without reinventing anything.

What you will find here

• Program planning support — links to the Program Navigator and program planning tools your section leaders can use tonight.
• Administration guides — membership, enrolment enquiries and record-keeping pointers for the systems Scouts Queensland uses.
• People support — starting points for recruiting helpers, supporting new leaders and recognising effort.
• Safety and compliance shortcuts — where to find risk templates, the Code of Conduct and reporting pathways when you need them fast.

You are not doing this alone

Your District team and fellow Group Leaders have solved most problems before. Ask early — a five-minute phone call often saves an hour of searching. Sharing what works is how the whole Region gets stronger.

Try this: at your next leaders’ meeting, ask each section leader to share one resource they cannot run without. Build your Group’s own toolkit from the answers.
