How to join Scouts
Thank you for your email.
Please use our "Find a Group" search function on our website (www.scoutsvictoria.com.au) to locate the local Scout Groups in your area with a relevant age section appropriate for your child.
Please enter your postcode/ address / or device location to shorten the list that appears to the closest 20 available Groups to your area.
Please look at the Groups / Sections that appear in the list for location, days and times the sections meet.
A "full unit" means that they are not available to join at this time and you should select another Group.
Once you have made a decision regarding the Group you would like to join, please click on this Group and this will provide further information about the Group including fees and exact location.
You are then able to select the 'Begin Trial or Join' button for this Group.
This will then open an Application form for you to fill in and you can select Trial or Join straight away.
We hope this helps and if you need any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
