EnglishWhat is Bullcreek Leeming Scouts?
Updated
Bullcreek Leeming Scouts is a Scout Group based in Bullcreek, Western Australia, and blscouts.org.au is its official website. The group has been operating since 1984 and is part of Scouts Australia, described on the site as the biggest and most successful youth organisation in Australia. It currently has about 75 boy and girl members across the Joey, Cub, Scout, Venturer and Rover sections. If you are a parent looking for a local youth group, a prospective member, or someone wanting to hire a hall in the Bullcreek area, this site is the starting point.
What the group offers
The site presents the group as activity-focused — "Be prepared for adventure" — with a photo gallery showing a sample of what members do. Sections are organised by age, so both boys and girls can join at any stage from early childhood through to young adulthood.
The group is led by Group Leader Mark Berry (Sloth), and the site quotes Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell: "Try to leave this world a little better than you found it."

Where they meet
Meetings are held at the Scott Scout Hall in Bob Gordon Reserve, Costello Place, off Benningfield Road in Bullcreek. The hall is named after Tony Scott, who served as Group Leader for 19 years.
What else is on the website
Beyond joining information, the site includes pages on child protection, photos, and hall hire — so the venue can be booked by outside groups as well as used by Scouts. There is also a Containers For Change page, a common fundraising route for community groups in Western Australia.
