New membership applications
Before proceeding to send your membership enquiry, please refer to wait list times and information provided above:
NOTE: our Leaders are volunteers, so the expected time to respond to queries is two to five days.
If your application is for Keas or Cubs then you might NOT hear back from us as we are not taking any new memberships or inviting for trial visits at this time, unless one parent agrees on becoming a warranted Leader. There is already about 30 kids in each sections’ waitlist waiting to be invited for trial visits, and unfortunately we can’t cater for everyone unless we can recruit more leaders.
