Hundreds of scout leaders and volunteers from across the state will converge on Williamstown this weekend to invest Scouts Victoria’s new Chief Commissioner.
Current Deputy Chief Commissioner, Daniella Taglieri OAM, will assume Scouts Victoria’s top job at a ceremony at Williamstown Town Hall on Saturday 31 January.
Youth members from the 1st Mt Evelyn Scout Group will officially invest Ms Taglieri into her new role which she will hold for the next six years.
The ceremony will form part of Scouts Victoria’s annual Leader of Adults conference which is being held in Williamstown for the first time.
More than 500 people are expected at the one day gathering of adult volunteers, including representatives from local groups such as 4th Williamstown Sea Scouts, 3rd Williamstown Scouts and 1st Altona Scouts and those from as far afield as Horsham, Wodonga and Maffra,
Key topics for 2026 such funding grants, as the results of the Resilient Youth Survey and upcoming major events like the National Australia Jamboree Victoria, will be among the issues discussed.
