Membership Explained

To REGISTER:

Current Youth age: will determine the fees applicable and the section (Unit) they will be in, when Registering for the first time. See Home page for age ranges per unit.

Various discounts may be available (see details below before registering).

Adult Leaders, Committee and Adult Helper members are free (conditions apply – see below).

New Youth Full Members also pay a one-off Scouts NSW Joining Fee - currently $60.

The Scouts NSW registration year is currently April to March.

At the end of each registration year, all memberships are archived by Scouts NSW.
Members must Register again at the start of each registration year (currently April and before Term 2 Starts)
Returning Members: If you have been an active member, register as a Retuning Member, via the Registration page.
Inactive Members: If you have been inactive for some time but want to return, register as a Retuning Member, via the Registration page. Your archived membership will be reactivated (this depends on your period away). Ask if any problems.

Click on top link: REGISTRATION
Click on RETURNING MEMBER (Existing Full or Trial Members), or NEW MEMBER (starting a new Trial with Scouts NSW)
Enter the Member Name & DOB to access your existing archived record.

New Trial / Temporary Members - see below
For details, open the document below "How to Re-Register at 2nd Turramurra.pdf"

B: New Members: can choose to be a FULL (paid) Member or a TEMPORARY/TRIAL Member.

Temporary/Trial members:

Currently we offer 4 attendances for new trial members who have never been members of Scouts NSW.
The dates are chosen by parents during registration as a Trial member. Check these dates with leaders BEFORE submitting the registration. NOTE: Dates that have passed cannot be edited. Admins can edit future dates (only if more than 1 day ahead). Once the trial 4 dates have passed, the trial member MUST become a FULL Member before they can attend any future scout activity (to regain Scouts NSW Insurance).
See attached document Simple Steps to Registering as a Trial member (below)

C: Trial Members becoming Full Members:

Once you have used your free trial sessions you must register as a Full Member. Your Trial Membership details are still in the Scouts NSW database and will be used during the registration process, therefore you cannot register as a new member but as a RETURNING MEMBER.
Register as a Returning Member, via the Registration page. Choose Returning Member. You will receive a link to Register via Email.
Once you register using the link you recieve, select "New Cub", "New Scout" etc. See section "HOW:" above.
You will be asked to pay the fees applicable at that time. Various discounts are available – see below.

Notes:

The Fees you pay include the Scouts NSW Fees and the 2nd Turramurra Group Fees (details below).
Youth, Leaders and official Adult Helpers must be REGISTERED with Scouts NSW to attend any scouting activity like normal weekly activities. Our Membership Coordinator may email you further information.
