The Path to Joining Scouts
6 - 8 year olds
10 1/2 - 14 year olds
14 - 18 year olds
Trial Period
New members are encouraged to try between 4 to 6 sessions, to get a good idea of what weekly meetings are like.
Uniform & Leader Chat
New members will have an opportunity to have a chat with section leader and assistant. We will take this opportunity to answer any questions they may have and discuss investiture etc.
Once Uniform is purchased we move on to official joining ceremony
Investiture
This is the traditional joining ceremony, the new members will say the section promise with section leaders and be given the group scarf and become official member of the the World Scout Movement
"Leave this world a little better than you found it."
