EnglishHow to Join Bullcreek Leeming Scouts
Updated
Bullcreek Leeming Scout Group welcomes boys and girls, and the joining process starts on the group's website. The group's own guidance is to look around the site first, then go to the How to Join page and follow the instructions there. If you already know which age section fits your child, you can also email that section's leader directly using the addresses listed on the site.
What the group offers
Bullcreek Leeming Scout Group has been operating since 1984 and currently has about 75 boy and girl members across its sections. It describes itself as part of the biggest and most successful youth organisation in Australia.
The group runs five age-based sections:
| Section | Ages | Meeting time |
|---|---|---|
| Joeys | 5–8 | Wednesday 5:00–6:30 |
| Cubs | 8–11 | Thursday 6:15–7:45 |
| Scouts | 11–14 | Wednesday 6:30–8:30 |
| Venturers | 14–17 | Monday 6:30–8:30 |
| Rovers | 18–25 | Friday 6:30–8:30 |
Meeting times are as published on the group's website, so confirm with the relevant leader before your first visit in case of changes.
Where they meet
Meetings are held at the Scott Scout Hall in the Bob Gordon Reserve, Costello Place, off Benningfield Road in Bullcreek. The hall is named after Tony Scott, who served as Group Leader for 19 years.
Steps to join
- Browse the website first. The group encourages prospective members to look around the site and check the photo gallery to get an idea of the activities on offer.
- Go to the "How to Join" page. This is the group's stated starting point for membership, and it contains the instructions to follow from there.
- Contact the right leader if you want to ask questions first. The site lists a general group leader address plus a separate address for each section, so you can write directly to the leader for your child's age group.
- Ask about a visit. Since meeting times and locations are published openly, you can use the contact addresses to check whether your child can come along and try a meeting before committing.

Common questions
Can girls join? Yes. The group states it has about 75 boy and girl members, and it welcomes both.
Which section should my child join? Use the age ranges in the table above. If your child is near a boundary (for example, turning 8 or 11), ask the relevant leader which section is the better fit.
Do I need to contact anyone before turning up? The website's own advice is to read the How to Join page and follow its instructions, so start there rather than arriving unannounced. Emailing the section leader is the simplest way to confirm details.
What if I just want to see what the group does? The photo gallery on the site shows a sample of their activities, and the group suggests browsing it before deciding.
