Joining 3rd Newhaven

We want joining Scouts to feel straightforward and welcoming. If your child is brand new to Scouting, that is absolutely fine. We will help you work out the right section and explain what to expect before their first meeting.

A good first conversation usually covers

  • your child's age and current school year
  • which evenings are easiest for your family
  • any medical, behavioural or accessibility information we should know
  • whether you are looking for an immediate place or to join a waiting list

Visiting for the first time

Young people usually settle in best when they know what is coming, so we are always happy to talk through meeting times, uniform, activities and what happens on arrival. Our aim is simple: a warm welcome, clear communication and a great first experience.
