MORE SUPPORT FOR LOCAL SCOUTS IN BUNDOORA

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will ensure young people in Bundoora continue to experience the benefits their local scout group has to offer for years to come.

We’ll invest $100,000 to help them to continue to run engaging programs for young people in the Bundoora and surrounding area.

For years the Bundoora Scout Group has supported thousands of young people, running an adventurous and fun program while also helping teach them life skills and leadership.  

Access to scouting activities supports young people’s development and growth by creating opportunities for them to lead in their own communities. 

Scouts Victoria is one of the state’s largest youth organisations with a membership base of more than 23,000. Last year, Scouts Victoria celebrated their 15th consecutive year of membership growth.

Today’s funding builds on the 23 local Scouts projects the Labor Government has delivered, with $5.5 million in funding to build and upgrade scouting infrastructure.  

Only Labor will invest in our young people and their futures – because only Labor will do what matters.
