Step One - The First Visits

We encourage your child to visit 4-6 times before you purchase a uniform, pay the registration fee and be invested. This allows your child time to see if they enjoy being with the section and being a member. Your child can join in on any event even if they are new, as long as the M1 Registration Form is complete and given to your Leader.

Step Two - What Does It Cost?

There is an annual fee to the Scout Association and a term fee to the section. Annual Association fees are detailed on the fees list. They vary throughout the year and depend on how many children are joining in the family.

Term fees are $10/term for Joeys, $15 Cubs and $20/term for Scouts. Term fees cover craft items, materials needed for games and badges.

Step Three - The Uniform.

Once your child has completed 4-6 visits and decided they would like to join, then you need to buy a uniform. The uniform is available from Scout Headquarters, 581 Murray Street, West Perth. Opening hours are Tuesday 9am - 1pm,  Thursdays from 12 - 4pm and Saturday from 9am - 12noon, phone 9480 4212. The uniform is a button-up shirt with various colours for each section. Joeys have tan sleeves; Cubs, yellow sleeves; Scouts, green; and Venturers, maroon sleeves. The shirt is worn with dark blue/black pants or shorts. The uniform top costs less than $40. You also need to buy a woggle. Scout uniform hats are encouraged but optional. Your child must wear closed in shoes to every meeting. Some second hand uniforms are available, just ask.

Step Four - Registration and Investiture

Once the uniform is purchased and registration paid, a date will be set for investiture. The new member will need to know the Law and Promise and their meanings. Families are encouraged to attend investiture as it is a special occasion. Upon investiture you receive our Group’s scarf, badges, a record book and a Group t-shirt. The Group t-shirt allows your child to get messy and is handy when District events are on as they are easy to recognise.

Parent Helpers, Committee Members and Leaders.

Our group requires volunteers to function. All leaders’ positions are voluntary, as is every position within the group. We ask that you place your name on the Parent Helpers Roster at least once a term. It helps the leaders deliver a better program and allows you to be with your child. Who knows you may even enjoy it so much that you decide to become a leader!

We also have a Parent Committee who work at assisting the leaders and parents are encouraged to join. Our AGM is held early in the year, where the formal positions are decided, but you may attend any time. It is a chance for you to represent your child’s section and have a say on where money is spent. The Parent Committee meets once a term, ask your section leader for more information.

ll leaders in our Group began as parents like you. We care not only about the young people under our guidance, but also about our community. Our Leaders are actively involved in planning and implementing projects to help our local community, and in expanding the community awareness of the young people in our group. We welcome all to come and join us as Leaders at Bullcreek Leeming.

Fundraising.

Several fundraising events are held throughout the year. Fundraising allows the Group to reduce fees whilst maintaining all our equipment and facilities.
