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 questions 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 April 1st to March 31st and membership is for the full year (the registration period in 2026 opens on April 10th). Every youth member needs to register and pay fees and these fees are split into two parts:

1) State fees of $300 per year plus a one off $60 joining fee for new members to scouts. Click here or here for more details.

2) 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.

So that is a total of $560 for a full year of socouting fun!

You must have completed registration to attend scouting events.

Discounts and Payment Plans

• There is an option to spread out the full cost over the first 6 months in monthly installments. This can be selected at the time of registration - click here for the terms.
• Scouts also has the Family Support Fund to cover these costs if you are experiencing financial hardship hardship.
• Our group offers discounts to the children of leaders who save 50% off the group fees for their first child.
• Our group offers sibling discounts of $50 off the group fees for the 2nd child (and subsequent siblings). 
• We also really want to get more Joey members and so our group will cover the $60 joining fee for new Joey members. So new Joey members, enrolling for the first time as a paid member, will pay $300 state fees, the $60 joining fee and only $200 group fees ($560 total).

It takes a lot to run a scout group. Feel free to donate money here. Thanks!

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 hall working bees.

Thanks!
