Scouts | Terrain

Scouts | Terrain is the Scouts Australia’s digital tool for tracking youth member achievement in the Program. It has an appealing, intuitive layout which is designed to be used by youth and adults if needed. Scouts | Terrain has been designed to be consistent in layout throughout the sections, with section-specific & age-appropriate content where possible. This makes transition between sections a familiar journey for our youth members.
