Interested in joining 10th Caulfield Scout Group?
Want to experience the fun and excitement of being a Scout member?
First thing to do is contact our Group via email or phone. Do mention the age of your child or children as this will help determine which section is best suited.
Your email go to our group leader who will then contact you.
If there is a vacancy, your child will be able to try out for couple of weeks. Parents may stay during these first couple of nights. Be prepared to fill in a registration form during or after week 1.
If you wish to join, you will need to pay the required Group fees, purchase your child’s uniform (from Vast/Snowgum), and then they will be invested at the soonest possible opportunity. Note: the uniform cannot be worn until your child is invested.
At 10th Caulfield we are a community. Parent’s are expected to become active members in that community. We are all volunteers and your added support makes Scouting better for your children.
