The request comes after a man recently reported to police that he was sexually assaulted as a child, while he was a Scout during the late 1970s and early '80s.
The Central Victoria Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team detectives interviewed a 71-year-old man over the crimes. He was released pending further investigation.
Detectives are investigating the possibility that there may be other victims who have not contacted police.
Police are appealing for any victims, witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
