Do you wish to be contacted if a place is available outside of your top 3 choices?(Required)
This will not affect whether you get a place in your prefered choices but may mean you get to join Scouts more quickly.
Are you able to volunteer regularly?(Required)

Scouts is run by volunteers. We often find that our groups do not have enough leaders to run or to increase the number of Scouts we have at any one time. If you can volunteer alongside your young person, it may make it easier and quicker to find a place but is not required to get a place in Scouts.
Is there any other information that we might need to know to help us to make an informed choice about your Young Person can join Scouts? e.g. accessibility or additional needs

How does the joining list work?

Once you’ve filled in the form we’ll add your young person to the catchment area of your prefered groups and check if there’s any spaces. If there is then a volunteer will be in touch to offer a place and let you know when you can start. If you accept the place, then we’ll transfer your details to that group.

If there’s no room then an alternative group/unit may get in touch with you to offer you a place. You will have the option to stay on the joining list until a space becomes available at your preferred group/unit. However, please bare in mind this may significantly delay your young person joining Scouts.

If you don’t hear from us, we appreciate your patience. Someone will only be in touch once a place becomes available.

Have you considered volunteering?

Scouting in Leeds Templars is run entirely by volunteers donating 1000s of hours each week from over 100 volunteers.

Many of our Scout Groups do not currently have enough leaders to run their sections and often rely on parent rotas to have enough adults present to run each night.

In order to increase the number of young people that can join Scouting at Leeds Templars, we need you!
If you can volunteer time to Scouts (either with young people or behind the scenes) you will get priority on the joining list and help us increase the total number of young people in Scouts.
