At the core, Scouts is a volunteer organisation. The success and vibrance of Fremantle Sea Scouts is generated from the parents, friends and community who contribute what they can to gift our youth members a valuable opportunity to build lifelong skills and friendships.
Leaders do an amazing job of running each section. The committee is their support crew to keep the group thriving.
We’re all busy – lean in if you can and meet the great bunch of doers behind the scenes.
