Parents, Guardians, or Caregivers will be provided with a link to the on-line Membership Application portal contained with the Scouts Queensland website.
Please note that our Group Leader receives an automated email indicating that the application has been submitted, with the ability to modify the application if required, before approving.

Our Group Leader also has the ability to decline an application, if the applicant has not made prior contact with the Group.

In the event that the youth decides not to pursue membership, provided it is within six weeks of joining, the parents and/or guardians can apply to the Branch Support Office in writing for a refund of membership fees. If a youth member is financial when resigned and another on-line application is received later in the same financial year for that youth member, the youth will be re-instated and no fee will be incurred.
