Firstly, ALL members of All families at Bald Hills Scout Group are part of the Group.
When your child joins Bald Hills Scout Group, so do you!
It is an expectation of the Bald Hills Scout Group that if your child joins our Group that you will be called upon to provide support for them by getting involved in some way or another. Please note that this is NOT negotiable at our Group.
Parent support maintains the success of any Scout Group. Without such support, a Scout Group will struggle for help and assistance.
There are no paid employees at our Group and so it is critical that you get involved and ask yourself, "what is stopping me from helping out?"
By help we mean taking on one of the may roles within the Group such as:
Taking on one of the roles as a member of the Group Support Committee. Please remember that by joining your child at Scouts at Bald Hills you automatically become a member of this committee. So the hard part is done. We will allocate a role for you within the committee.
Putting on the Scout Uniform and becoming one of the Leaders in the Group. All we ask is that you commit to attend one night per week during term time for one year, and the Group will:
- Provide all your training
- Provide a Working with Children Blue Card
- Provide support/mentoring during your training
Becoming an 'Adult Helper':
- Allows you to attend more than once a month to help with running Joeys, Cubs or Scouts
- Provides you with a Working with Children Blue Card
- Provides access to basic e-learning training
Becoming a 'Youth Program Supporter':
- Allows you to support the Group, assist at Unit meetings and assist with fundraising on a non-regular basis
- Provides you with a Working with Children Blue Card
- Provides access to basic e-Learning training
Please note that being rostered on as a helper from time to time, helping with transport to and/or from a camp or activity and assisting with fundraising is support all parents are expected to assist with. To discuss this further please contact the Group Leader.
