Official Australian Contingents

An official Australian Contingent is an organised group of Scouts Australia Members led by a Contingent Leader that attends an overseas Scout event. Scouts Australia sends official Contingents to all world events, all events held in New Zealand, and major Asia-Pacific events. If there is interest in leading a Contingent to other overseas events, Scouts Australia will formally declare an official Australian Contingent for that event.
