What You’ll Do

Say goodbye to being stuck indoors— our adventures take us across the Northern Beaches. Whether its, hiking, canoeing or exploring, discovering hidden gems around Manly, we're always on the move. While our home base is the Scout Hall in Ivanhoe Park, Manly, we prefer to keep the action outdoors whenever we can!

Each week, you’ll join a team of boys and girls your age for exciting challenges and hands on activities. You’ll wear your Scout uniform with pride, and you can earn achievement badges as you grow your skills and confidence.

Check out our Programme page for the latest term program—it’s packed with adventure!

Where We Go

From our base at Ivanhoe Park we explore the open spaces, bush trails, and waterways of the Northern Beaches. We have canoes ready for all skill levels, and easy access to Manly Dam and North Harbour, we enjoy the best of  land AND water activities.
