INTRODUCTION:
New chums attend 4 meetings on a trial basis and learn about the Scout Movement before being invited to make the Scout Promise and be invested.
APPLICATION FORMS:
Download the Youth Membership form (#2) for the relevant section (Joeys, Cubs etc), complete all sections on pages 1 to 3, then print and sign it. It can be printed double sided to save paper. Also, download the Volunteer - Student Declaration form (#4). For each parent, complete all sections of this form, then print and sign them.
Please complete and return these forms to your section leader, along with details of your annual fee payment (#5) to avoid delays in processing your application.
UNIFORM:
Prior to their investiture, you need to purchase a section shirt and a woggle (to hold the scarf in place) from one of the Snowgum stores. Trousers are to be a stone colour. This is optional but recommended as it allows better identification as a member of the Worldwide Scouting Movement. This part of the uniform is essential when attending special occasions.
INVESTITURE:
The investiture is a special occasion for both the youth member and also their family who are welcome to attend the investiture and take photos of the event. With the help of the leader, the youth member will repeat the section Promise in front of the other members of their section. They will then be presented with the badges as the significance of each is explained. Finally, they will be presented with the Group scarf. At this point the newly invested member will turn around to face the others and salute them before returning to the circle. FORMS FOR 2012 |
