About us
History
The 1st Rivertrail Scout Group has been in existence since the late 1970s, and has a proud heritage in the Bryanston area.
We are a member of Scouts South Africa (SSA) and of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). There are over 30 million members of WOSM worldwide in 161 countries. The headquarters of WOSM are in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Scouts South Africa national headquarters are in Cape Town and Gauteng Regional headquarters are in Bramley. Regions consist of various Districts, which in turn, consist of various Groups.
Our Group forms part of the Sandton District in the Gauteng Region. Our group currently has two branches, namely a Scout Troop and a Cub Pack.
Membership
For more information, you can access the Application Form
Sign up
There is a waiting list for our Cub group, but we do move through it fairly quickly and we encourage you to get your child’s name on the list as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and delays.
Decide if it's for you
Once you have spoken to either the Akela (Cub Group Scouter) or the Troop Scouter (Scouts), he will advise you as to how to begin your child’s journey through Scouting! Your child be invited to attend several meetings at either the Cub or Scout group, where they can decide if Scouting is for them.
Get your uniform
Only once they have shown their enthusiasm to join, will you need to purchase a uniform from the Scout Shop in Bramley (see our Uniform section for more information). Your child will then be invested as either a Scout or Cub.
