About North Coast Region
North Coast Region is one of the regions of Scouts NSW, covering Groups from the Mid North Coast through the Northern Rivers to the Northern Tablelands. We're run entirely by volunteers, for the benefit of young people in our communities.
Volunteer-led, community-powered
North Coast Region supports Scout Groups across five Districts, backed by a Region team of volunteers who coordinate training, events, safety and support so local Groups can focus on delivering a great program to youth members.
Our Region runs major annual events — including Region Rally, Operation Adventure, Rasoree and Drop Bearskin — alongside training courses, adventurous activity qualifications and youth leadership opportunities through our Region Youth Council.
Camp Eagle Eye
Our Region's own campsite at Glenreagh hosts the majority of our major camps and courses throughout the year.
