It’s great to hear you would like to join us – welcome!
We have many children wanting to join 1st Sunningdale. Unfortunately, this does mean that our waiting lists are very long.
The success and popularity of 1st Sunningdale means every Section is always at full capacity. Our retention rate, as the Young People move from one Section to another, is around 85%. Anyone who is already part of 1st Sunningdale has priority when moving to the next Section, so unfortunately only a few places arise each term for Young People on the Waiting List. Once added to the Waiting List you may need to wait some years to join, especially the older Sections, although applications for young children to join Beavers and Squirrels are most likely to be successful.
But all is not lost….
Becoming a Leader or Section Assistant will bypass our Waiting List and fast-track your child straight into Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, or Explorers. Being a Leader is open to any adult and you can help with any Section, even if your child is in a different Section.

If you would like to put your child or children on the waiting list, please go here to fill out a Waiting List Application Form.
This will register your young person on Online Scout Manager (OSM), the software we use to manage the Group. You’ll receive an email once the form is submitted with a link to fill out some further details. Please follow that link, register on OSM and complete those fields. Thanks.
