Information for Youth Members

Since Scouting was founded by Lord Baden-Powell in 1907, hundreds of millions of young people have participated in the Scout Movement all over the world. There are currently about 30 million members (young people and adult leaders) involved in Scouting across the world!

If you're a young person who is interested in being a part of Crown's Scouting adventure, or a parent wishing for your child to benefit from what Scouting has to offer young people, read on for information about what Scouting is all about, and how you can be a part of it!

How Do I Join Crown Scout Group?

Joining Crown Scout Group couldn't be easier! There is rarely a waiting list for any of the training sections, so it's very likely that you can join the section relevant to your age straight away! Refer to the core age ranges (above the Cub paw!) to find out which section applies to you.

For those wishing to join either the Beavers, Cubs or Scouts, it's important for a parent/carer to call the section leader first to arrange your first night's attendance. This is not only so that we will know to expect you, but also to ensure your parents/carers are aware of the arrangements.

If you would like further information, or to talk to the section leader of the training section that applies to you, go to the Group Contacts page, and call the relevant leader for a personal chat about what Crown Group can offer your family. We look forward to hearing from you!

Scouts aged 14+ from both Crown and Kingsmills Troops (as well as other local troops) will join the Phoenix Unit as part of their membership of their own group's unit. This will enable the Explorer Scouts to meet members of other units and participate in a wider activity programme.
