Active Kids Voucher
Scouts NSW is an approved provider of the Active and Creative Kids Voucher.
Active and Creative Kids is a NSW Government program that helps families across the state to meet the cost of getting their school-aged children into sport, recreational, creative or cultural activities, such as Scouts.
All Active and Creative Kids vouchers redeemed with Scouts NSW go towards the cost of Scouting, ensuring families who want their children to enjoy the Scout Program can send their children to Scouts.

In some ways yes, and in others no. The vouchers are still aimed to support families with school-aged children with part of the costs of participating in activities. However, the new vouchers combine the previous Active Kids and Creative Kids into one voucher, as well as different eligibility criteria, a new way to be redeemed and a new name.
The new vouchers have different eligibility criteria. Whilst the vouchers are still aimed at school-aged children, they are limited to those who already receive Family Tax Benefit A and/or B. For full eligibility information, please click here.
