Programs like Scouts and Girl Guides provide young people with opportunities to build leadership and resilience, and establish friendships - essential qualities that support growth well beyond childhood.

From 1 July 2025, eligible families will be able to use their KidSport vouchers to cover registration fees for Scouts and Girl Guides, in addition to local sporting clubs.

The move recognises the vital role of organisations like Scouts WA and Girl Guides WA in supporting youth development, outdoor education and inclusive participation across Western Australia.

It also ensures more choice for KidSport families, especially in areas with limited community sport options.

KidSport now offers access to 69 different activities across more than 2,000 approved clubs throughout WA. Families can apply for up to $300 per eligible child each calendar year, which can go towards club fees and essential equipment and uniforms.
