The Benalla Bushwalking Club was formed in 1984. The objectives of the club are:

• The encouragement of safe bushwalking and allied activities in an atmosphere of good companionship, mutual support and enjoyment.
• To foster a greater love of the outdoors.
• To encourage members to have a wider appreciation and better understanding of the wild and natural environment.

The club is affiliated with Bushwalking Victoria Inc., and has a close association with similar clubs in Echuca, Shepparton, Wangaratta and Albury/Wodonga. Members of these clubs frequently participate in each other's events.

The club logo of a well used and loved pair of boots indicates enjoyment of the outdoors and the comfort of good friends.
