Parents and Caregivers
We recommend that new parents/carers obtain a Working with Children Card (volunteer), which is required for any person over 18 years of age transporting, assisting with activities away from the hall including camps. This also applies to Rovers. This is available through your local Post Office at no cost. See your Section Leaders or Group Leader for further advice on this.
Parents/Carers can best be involved by:
Parents/Carers can best be involved by:
- Assisting as an adult helper to the leaders with games and activities on a meeting night, or at an occasional camp or outing with their kids.
- Help out on the Group Committee, (meeting once a month) and help to make decisions affecting the welfare of the Group.
- Volunteering for fundraising activities.
- Helping out with community service events such as Red Cross collecting, Anzac Day or Clean Up Australia Day;
- Become a fully uniformed leader or assistant leader. It's great fun and a very rewarding experience but does take some commitment to training and time.
3rd Croydon offers generous fee discounts to volunteer Committee and Leaders.
