73rd Allestree Scout Group
Join the Waiting List
We welcome young people from age 4 upwards. Despite having capacity for over 180 young people across our sections, demand is high — add your child to the list as early as you can.
How the waiting list works
The basics
The waiting list is open from age 4 — you can join at any time.
Places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis as spaces become available.
We will contact you as soon as a place opens up in the right section for your child.
Automatic progression
Your child will be placed on the waiting list for the section most appropriate for their age. If they reach the next age range without receiving a place, we will automatically move them to the waiting list for the next section — you don't need to do anything.
Could you help?
Sometimes our section sizes are limited by the number of adult volunteers rather than physical space. If you're able to help at meetings 1–2 times per month, you may be given priority on the waiting list.
You don't need any experience — just enthusiasm and a DBS check, which we arrange for you.
