About
1st East Ryde Scout Group
The 1st East Ryde Scout Group was originally formed in 1958. It is one of the largest youth groups in the City of Ryde, with around 100 members from ages 6 to 18. The Group is part of the Moocooboolah Scouts District, which extends from Meadowbank to North Ryde and as far East as Putney. Moocooboolah is the Aboriginal name for the local district, meaning 'meeting of waters', being based around the point where the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers join. The Moocooboolah Scout District is part of the Sydney North Region , which currently has over 3000 youth members across the region and is in turn part of Scouts NSW.
Broadly speaking, the aim of the group, in accordance with the general aims of Scouting is:

to encourage the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual development of young people so they may play a constructive role in society as responsible citizens and as members of their local and international communities. |  |
We also aim to provide a safe and supportive environment where both youth and adult members can have fun and enjoy many rewarding experiences. Scouting provides people young and old with opportunities to do things they may not be able to do elsewhere or may not have even considered doing.
The youth sections are for boys and girls:
