Getting Started

So you’d love to get your child into scouting, but don’t know where to start. The first step is to establish which unit is suitable. This is based on the age of your child. Joey Scouts is for children aged between 5 and 8, Cub Scouts is for children aged between 8 and 11 and Scouts is for children aged between 11 and 14.

The next step is to organise a visit to the group on a unit night.

If your child is keen to join the next step is to register them with Scouts Australia – you can do so here
