Scout Heritage Victoria's collection has an extensive range of items relating to Scouting in Victoria, other Australian States and International events where former Scouting members have played an active role.
As well as the Scout Heritage Victoria Adventure Centre in Bentleigh East, there are three other Scouting Heritage groups within Victoria:
The Scouting movement had its beginnings in 1907, when British military man, Major-General Robert Baden-Powell led an experimental camp on Brownsea Island, off the Dorset coast. By the end of 1908, eleven Scout Troops had formed in Victoria. Fifteen years later, the earliest version of Scouts Victoria was formed, as the Victorian Branch of the British Boy Scouts. In 1958, the Scout Association of Australia was created and the Victorian scouts became part of the national organisation.
