Waiting List.
Our waiting lists for all the Sections are always full, so please contact us early to avoid any disappointment.
If you felt able to offer to become a regular active uniformed leader or non-uniformed section assistant in any of the Group’s sections where we have a vacancy for such help, then we might be able to offer your child a place more quickly. Should you be interested in making such a commitment to the Group, please indicate this in your email with the details above, and our Group Scout Leader will contact you.
Places are offered on the understanding that parents will at the very least participate in our parent rotas (normally about twice a term) but parents are also regularly asked to help with outings, camps, fund-raising, premises upkeep and kit maintenance etc.
