Resources for Caroline Springs Scout Group

Caroline Springs Scout Group (opened in 2010) is very active in the City of Melton, focusing on many key areas of concern such as youth, mental health and the environment. They run weekly youth programs that are inclusive active learning experiences which help mental health, resilience and life skills.

The Scouts group have several youth members which identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and the group leaders want to support them and educate all our youth, adult volunteers and families by providing pride resources with the ultimate aim of building a safe, accepting, and more inclusive space. This Small Grant has been awarded to Caroline Springs Scout Group to start a collection of LGBTQIA+ resources, like books, games and educational information.
