On the 12th April 2010 the new metropolitan regions were born.
Mt Dandenong Region contains all of the Scout Groups in the local government areas of the Cities of Knox, Maroondah, Manningham, Monash, Whitehorse, Yarra Ranges and the Shire of Sherbrooke Forest.
We have a badge competition open until the end of May for any youth or adult member or family of the Reion to design the new region badge.
We are a collection of groups and families from the middle eastern suburbs to the country out past Warburton and from the Yarra River to the Monash freeway. Mt Dandenong is right in the centre of our region and can be seen by all of our people.
Welcome eveyone to Mt Dandenong Region
Alan Richmond
Region Commissioner

Scouts Australia offers a diverse range of activities for boys and girls across a wide range of ages. Joey Scouts (age 6 – 7.5) are introduced to the world of friendship, problem solving and adventure through stories, games and activities. Cubs Scouts (age 7.5 – 10.5) learn new skills while spending time participating in a variety of learning activities and outings. They collect special badges to demonstrate their skills and achievements. Scouts (age 10.5 – 14.5) develop confidence and learn to work as part of a team. They learn essential outdoor safety skills as well as participate in a variety of physical and intellectual challenges. Venturers Scouts (age 14.5 – 17.5) have the opportunity to create their own Venturer Unit and be involved in adventurous outdoor activities, and performing community service initiatives. Rovers (age 17.5 – 26) operate Crews that plan and run their own programs, allowing them to develop their personal abilities while also making lifelong friends. A key focus is service to others and their community. Leaders (age 18+) are dedicated volunteers who care about the guidance, development and safety of the young people in their Section as well as the community in which they live. Parents of Scout Members are encouraged to get involved as helpers, supporters or Leaders. We support the integration of young people with physical and mental disabilities into regular Scout Groups so there are many Groups with additional support, infrastructure and training for these young people.
