About

2nd/3rd Penannt Hills Scout Group currently runs Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Venturer sections and we have recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of scouting at Pennant Hills!

We have a wonderfull scout hall with a bushland outlook and a place for a campfire.

Each section is run by trained volunteers and are supported by a parent committe who also look after fees, fundraising and finances as well as hall maintenance and hall hire.

2nd/3rd Pennant Hills runs 4 sections as shown below. Each section is open to girls and boys and your child is welcome to come along to try it out for free. Youth members get to have fun every week but they also get access to the various state run events that happen throughout the year, for example Scouthike, Cuberee and Dragonskin

More information about what we do can be found one the Scouts NSW website. This Welcome pack also has lots of general information about Scouts.

If you are new to scouts you can register for a free temporary membership for 6 weeks. You have nothing to loose! Just go to the Regsitration page and register as New member/Temporary Member. If you have any question please contact patrick.sorsby@nsw.scouts.com.au

Once you have completed the trial membership you will need to pay fees. 

The scouting year runs from Apil 1st to May 31st and membership is for the full year (there are no more 6-monthly 'Treks'). Every youth member needs to register and pay fees and these fees are split into two parts:

State fees of $290 per year plus a one off $60 joining fee for new members to scouts. Click here or here for more details.

Group Fees which are for our group only. These fees cover things like craft supplies, badges, hall maintenance, discounts for our leaders, trailer Rego etc. These fees are currently $260 per year. Our group offers discounts to the children of leaders who will save 50% of the group fees for their first child. Also, we have sibling discount of $50 of the group fees for the 2nd child (and subsequent siblings). Contact patrick.sorsby@nsw.scouts.com.au to recieve the discount codes.

So that is a total of $550 for a full year of socouting fun! Starting this year, there is now the option to spread this full cost over the first 6 months in monthly installments - click here for the terms. Scouts also has the Family Support Fund to cover these costs if you are experiencing financial hardship hardship.

You must have completed registration to attend scouting events.

Finally . . . . all our leaders and commitee members are volunteers. Please consider helping out however you can. You can join the committe, become a leader or, at the very least, volunteer for our annual Christmas tree sales and quaterly hall working bees.

Thanks!
