Adults in Scouting

All adults that come into contact with our youth members need to have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) card.

For both new applications and renewals of your Working With Children Card, go to the WWCC website. 

Which organisation codes should I use on the application?
Use codes 10 and 42 on their WWCC application.

What Organisation details do I record?
Scouts Victoria, 152 Forster Road, Mount Waverley VIC 3149
Tel: 03 8543 9800, Email: reception@scoutsvictoria.com.au

For more details on how to complete the WWCC application see the Scouts Victoria FAQ.

Adults are generally classified as one of:

• Visitors - adhoc attendance not more than 4 times per year

• Contributors - includes rostered parents and committee members

• Supporters - adults staying overnight and committee members with Extranet access

• Leaders - uniformed adults.

Visitors are only required to hold a Working With Children Check card.

All other adults need to be registered with Scouts Victoria. This process is organised via the Group Leader. Once you are registered you will also need to complete three brief online learning modules:

• Adult Code of Conduct

• Child Safe Scouting

• WHS for Scouting.

Contributors and Supporters can only be involved in youth member activities in the presence of a Leader.

Supporters and Leaders are also required to undergo a police check and referee checks.
