- What have been some of the biggest changes to the organisation over the last 40-50 years?
- How are Scouts involved in supporting the community?
- What are the the costs and time requirements in being a scout?
- Volunteers and leaders, the life-blood of all community sports clubs.
- What funding assistance have Scouts received and how has this been able to improve the organisation in Banyule?
