For user questions, please contact the helpdesk at helpdesk@scoutsqld.com.au. If you experience technical issues with the form, please contact the IT department via their helpdesk at techsupport@scoutsqld.com.au.
In some exceptionally rare circumstances, an applicant may still need to access a paper-based form such as in the case of a Youth Member who is in foster care. In these cases, please request a pre-populated form from the Branch Support Office at membership@scoutsqld.com.au providing the applicant’s name, Scout Group and contact information. A partially pre-populated application form with an application number will be generated and returned for distribution to the applicant. The changes to the process and data collected no longer suit the former A5, A1, A60, A33 forms and therefore these forms have been discontinued as of October 2022.
There are customisable invitation templates available for you to distribute to potential Members including a flyer that will help guide them to the forms and which Group to select. See the article Invitation to join email and flyer templates to download.
The applicant will provide the referee’s names and contact information when they complete their online form. This information is visible within SMS and includes space for the team leader to enter the responses to the questions after contacting the referees.
Please note that you will need to have the answers for both reference checks before endorsing the online form.
More information can be found in the Support Hub article Team Leader review and endorsement
