Empowering Youth through skills and training for a safer Surf Lifesaving Community

At Scarboro, we recognise the importance of members aged between 13 - 17 years (our Youth) as the future of our Club and have an established program to support our Youth members in the transition from Nippers through to Open (18+ years).

Youth Engagement Program

Our youth members are given the opportunity to experience all components of Surf Lifesaving in a safe, fun and collegial environment.

Surf Rescue

Members train for their Surf Rescue Certificate (13+ years) and their Bronze Medallion (15+ years) enabling them to join our patrols and make a difference on Scarborough Beach.

Surf Sports

For our youth members who want to compete for the Club and those who want to improve and maintain their fitness and surf skills, Scarboro has a year round program of sessions across all disciplines, including beach, water and strength training run by our dedicated coaches.

"Being a part of the Scarboro Surf Life Saving Club's Youth competition team  has been an incredible journey. I have learned valuable skills, made lifelong friends, and grown as a person and an athlete."
