Membership is open to any young people living in or going to school within the broad 'Tir na Mona' area.  Our group have one intake per year - in early September.  Application for places in our group may be made at any time and must be on our official application form - this must be posted to the group secretary (see below)

The 2009 Application Form is available Download file

We maintain a waiting list for new members as we always have more applicants than places available.  Places are offered according to the following priority

• Children of Leaders
• Siblings of existing members
• Date of application

We also attempt to maintain a gender balance within each section and of course........we must ensure that numbers stay within recomended ratios of leaders to youth members. Only children and young people who hve reached the required age for the relevant section will be offered a place - we use 31st August as our cut-off date each year.

We welcome applications from children and young people with special needs, but the offer of places may be dependant on leader capacity to provide a safe and constructive environment for all members. Parental support is valued and welcomed.
