The Scouting year 2026-2027 has a new registration timing.   Instead of registering for the calendar year, members will register for the Scouting year (i.e. it’s the same as the school year).   

New members to Scouting  will register and become members from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027.   Current members are registered until December 31, 2026 and can renew their membership for the period January 1, 2027 to August 31, 2027 at a reduced rate (in certain periods).
