SOME FINE PRINT
A three-week trial period applies for all new members, please note that the joining date commences from the 1st week of the trial period if you continue. For insurance reasons, your child will not be able to attend past the three week trial period or invested as a member of the group, until the full payment has been received.
We never want membership fees to be a reason for a child to not participate in Scouting. Should you have any financial difficulty paying the fees, please contact the Group Leader for a confidential conversation.
​​
Children of fully invested leaders will incur NO membership fees. Leadership is both fun and rewarding, for more details contact our Group Leader, Megan. Please note sibling discounts are only available on annual renewals, not for new joiners.
​
Please email Group Registrar once payment is made.
​
A receipt will be issued. Once the fee is received the new member is covered by the Scout Association insurance and can now enjoy all the activities of their Section and will be invested.
​
INVESTITURE AND UNIFORMS
Once paperwork is processed the new member will be officially welcomed into their section with a formal investiture. At this stage, the new member will require a section uniform which consists of a Scout uniform shirt.
​
Uniforms should be obtained before investiture. They can be purchased online at the Scout Shop Website.
​
As part of the investiture ceremony, the new member will be presented with their section badges and a Richmond group scarf.
​
A certificate is also issued by Scouts Victoria H.Q. and is typically received several weeks after all paperwork is completed.
