Glen Osmond Scouts and Cubs about 1926
The beginning at Glen Osmond
| 1907 | Robert Baden-Powell (BP) published "Scouting for Boys" |
| 1909 Nov | An article in "The Advertiser" announced a meeting at St Saviour's Anglican Church to form a Glen Osmond Scout Troop. So Scouting at Glen Osmond started. It was first registered with the British Boy Scouts Association. |
| 1913 | Glen Osmond Scout Troop joined what is now Scouts Australia (SA Branch). |
| 1914-1918 | During the first World War, the Troop continued meetings even though all the leaders had signed up for military service. |
| prior 1924 | Some meetings were held at the Glen Osmond Baptist Church Hall. |
| 1924 | Elizabeth Fraser allowed a Scout Hut to be built on her land "Ridge Park" at the current Scout Hall site. |
| 1927 Nov | That land was sold to Unley Council to create the Ridge Park recreation open space. Our hall site reserved by 99 year lease as part of the deal. |
| 1939-1945 | Again, as leaders and older scouts signed up for military service, the Scout Group continued to meet with older youths acting in place of leaders. |
| 1955-1965 | The Scout Group membership climbed to over 100 in the baby-boomer years, putting considerable pressure on the original Scout Hut. |
| 1968 | The curent brick Scout Hall was opened on the sitereplacing the Scout Hut. It was built entirely from fundraising by the parents. |
| 1973 | Scouts Australia changed from a male-only organisation to one that was inclusive of girls as members. Although there was slow acceptance of this restructuring, but finally the number of members stabilised. |
| 1978 | A meeting room extension to the hall was added in 1978. It was used for a number of years by the City of Unley Rovers. Again, it was built by local fund raising. That meeting room is now known as the Venturer Den. |
| 1978 - | Times were achanging. The wider access to television, the demands of school sports training, and the increased demand on seconary student's time proved competitive to being a Scout. To counter this the Scout Group developed adventurous youth programs for activity types that youth could not get elsewhere. The range of activities has continued to expand. |
