How to join Scouts

Please use our postcode "Find a Group" search function on our website (www.scoutsvictoria.com.au) to locate the local Scout Groups in your area (A list of all Scout Groups in Victoria can be found here).

Please look at the Groups that appear in the list for location, days and times the sections meet. 

Once you have made a decision regarding the Group you would like to join, please use the "Membership Enquiry" button to submit an enquiry directly to the Group. 

Selecting the Membership Enquiry button will open up a form, which will request parent/guardian contact details and information on the prospective youth member, (you may also enter any specific questions you may have into this form). 

Please expect a 2 week turnaround time (if you have not received a reply after this 2 week period, please don’t hesitate to contact Member Services at memberservices@scoutsvictoria.com.au or on 8543 9800 for assistance with your membership enquiry).
