Our People

A giant organisation like ours needs many enthusiastic volunteers and dedicated employees to keep the movement going strong.

Scouts Victoria is a branch of Scouts Australia. But we are also a thriving, self-supporting organisation with our own vision, procedures and by-laws.

The Governor of Victoria, The Honourable Linda Dessau, is our patron. Actor/writer Shane Jacobson is our Chief Scout, and Rod Byrnes is Chief Commissioner of Victoria.

The organisation also has a Branch Executive Committee, Assistant Chief Commissioners, Region Commissioners, State Commissioners and Assistant State Commissioners.

Most importantly of all, we have thousands of volunteers who make our activities happen. From Commissioners to Group Leaders and other generous, hard-working volunteers, our organisation is as strong as it is because of the work they do.
