Joining Lynden Park Scout Group

 

In joining Lynden Park Scout Group, a young person becomes a part of a worldwide youth organisation. The scouting movement was founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell in England in 1907. His book, “Scouting for Boys: A Handbook for Instruction in Good Citizenship” was published in 1908. Now, Scouts (and Guide) groups are represented in 216 countries with over 41 million members worldwide.

 

Scouts are separated into Sections according to age. Lynden Park Scout Group offers the following Sections which meet on a weekly basis through the school year:

Joey Scouts – 6 to 8 years (this section to recommence in 2013)

Cub Scouts – 8 to 11 years

Scouts – 10 ½ to 15 years

Venturer Scouts – 14 ½ to 18 years

Rovers – 18 to 26 years.

 

The annual fee includes the registration fee to Branch, District and Group to cover insurance, hall maintenance, insurance of building, equipment, utilities and leader registration and training.

Joeys: $300

Cubs & Scouts: $450

Venturers & Rovers: $230

Full fees are payable in June. Fees are pro-rated for those who join later in the year.
