This procedure applies to those who have never been members of Scouting. If you have been a member of any branch of the Scouts Association of Australia, NSW in the past, you may have to join via an alternative process. Contact our Group Leader Sarah H. for more information.

How to apply

To apply as an adult member (Adult Helper, or Leader) at 2nd Sutherland (ARMCO), you will need:

• A current Working WIth Children Check (WWCC) clearance number.
• Leader applicants only - contact details of two referees.

Your application can't go ahead without this information. If you don't have a WWCC, apply for one before proceeding with your Scouts application.

No membership fees are payable by Adult Helpers or Leaders (Leaders' costs are paid by 2nd Sutherland (ARMCO)).
