Temporary Members becoming Full Members
Once you have used your 6 free sessions, the Membership Coordinator wil send you an individual UPGRADE link. You can not Register again as your Trial Membership details are still in the Scouts NSW database and will be used during the Upgrade process. You will be asked to pay the fees applicable at that time. Note: Once your trial dates are used, your child cannot attend until their Full Membership Upgrade is completed.
Notes:
Youth, Leaders and official Adult Helpers must be REGISTERED with Scouts NSW to attend any scouting activity like normal weekly activities.
Youth, Leaders and official adult helpers need to be current members of Scouts NSW and be registered in Operoo to be invited to Activities requiring Permission e-Forms.
Note that non-members of Scouts NSW will have their Operoo Profiles Archived at the start of the youth program each February and July, so Register early!
Membership Semesters are are called TREK 1 (1st Semester starting 1st January) & TREK 2 (2nd Semester starting 1st July).
The Fees you pay will now include the Scouts NSW Fee and the 2nd Turramurra Group Fee.
You pay once via the Registration page. The 2T Group fee component is then transfered to the 2nd Turramurra Bank account, usually within 3 business days .
