Bacchus Marsh Scouts are celebrating an incredible 100 years of Scouting in the local community, with a big family day marking the journey from 1926 to 2026.

The celebration will take visitors through a century of Scouting history, with walk-through historical displays, video presentations and Gang Show performances highlighting the people, places, adventures and memories that have shaped the Bacchus Marsh Scout Group across generations.

There’ll be plenty of hands-on fun too, including pioneering and orienteering activities, Archery Tag, a rock-climbing wall, abseiling wall and children’s craft activities, alongside live music, emergency service displays and local market stalls.

Former Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Leaders are especially encouraged to come along and reconnect with old memories, but the celebration is open to everyone — including families and visitors who may never have experienced Scouting before.

Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day, along with a coffee van and ice cream, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the full celebration.

It’s a chance to look back on 100 years of adventure, practical skills, friendship, community service and local history— and to celebrate the generations of people who have helped make Bacchus Marsh Scouting what it is today.

Saturday 24 October • 10am–3pm • Bacchus Marsh Scout Hall, 88 Wittick Street, Darley & Darley Community Recreation Reserve
