Structure
Scouts Australia is a federation of State and territory branches. Each branch has been incorporated by State Acts of Parliament. Each branch maintains its own structure and operational methodologies and rules. However, all branches operate under a common uniform and common award scheme structure.
A Federal Scout Council seeks to achieve co-operation and coordination of the branches.
The Chief Scout of Australia is the Australian Governor-General, who is the representative in Australia of the Monarch (currently Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II). The Chief Scout in each state is normally the State Governor, who is also the Monarch's representative in each State.
