If you are new to Scouting, or a Cub Scout, you can join the Scouts between the ages of  10½ and 14

When you join the Troop, you must complete the Scout Membership Award. However, if you are a Cub Scout, and have your Cub Scout Moving-on Award, will have done some, or all of this. Once you have done every thing for the Scout Membership Award, you can be invested. If you are a Cub Scout you can transfer the following badges to your new Scout uniform:

• Cub Scout Joining In Badge (highest number)
• Cub Scout Moving-On Award
• Chief Scout’s Silver or Bronze Award
• Any Staged Activity Badges (highest number / stage gained)

Joining the Scout Troop

When you are invested as a Scout you will receive the Membership Award and your Scout Record Book.. Wearing it means that you are part of the worldwide family of Scouts and will be recognised by Scouts from all around the world.

 If you don’t already have one, you will also be given a lemon coloured scarf (sometimes called a ‘necker’) with the ‘Isle of Wedmore’ badge on it, to show that you belong to Wedmore Group.

Your parents and family usually come to hear you make your promise, at the investiture ceremony
