Joining Us

As we are a volunteer organisation with limited volunteers we are currently at capacity for all of our sections for ages 5-14. If your child is within these ages and would like to join scouts we ask you to sign up on our district EOI form so that you can be added to the waiting list. All applicants must be on the waiting list to be considered for a spot.

As a parent at Indooroopilly Scout Group, it is expected that ​you contribute to the running of the group in some way. ​
We have three levels of participation at Indooroopilly: 

• Uniformed Leader

• Committee Member

• Parent Roster

By default, you will be assigned to a parent roster at the beginning of your first full term at Indooroopilly. ​You can apply to join as a committee member or leader at any time. Talk to any leader or committee member to find out how.

Leaders are the front line of the organisation and play a huge ​role in shaping the lives of scouting youth​.
Leaders have access to free Nationally-recognised VET Training in Leadership and Management​.
We have a support structure to ensure you aren’t thrown in the deep end.​
You will have the opportunity to learn and expand your skills in many aspects of Scouting as well as making a real difference in the lives of our young people​.
