In December 2024, The Scouts launched its membership system on scouts.org.uk. This membership is totally different to the old one, where it will ease administrative pressures on Districts and Groups. It’s important to remember that being digital first isn’t simply about everyone using technology. It means making sure people, processes and technology, work well together to support our members and grow our movement. 

Onboarding to the Membership System

Process for getting on the membership system

You would have received an email in December 2024 with an invite to the membership system, although please be aware that the link may have deactivated for security purposes. We are asking all volunteers who are attempting to get access to the new membership system to take the following steps;

Start by going to scouts.org.uk.

On the navigation bar, on the top right: 

1. Click ‘Sign in’. 

On the ‘Sign in’ page: 

2. Click ‘Forgot Password’. 

On the ‘Register or reset your password’ page: 

3. Type your email into the box. 

4. Click ‘Send verification code’.  

You’ll receive an email with a 6-digit code in the next 5 minutes. Remember to check your spam folder. 

If you haven’t received the email, check if your email address is correct by contacting us at digitalphase@scoutsni.org.

5. Type the code you received by email into the ‘Verification Code’ box. 

6. Click ‘Verify code’. 

7. Click ‘Continue’. 

On the ‘Update Password’ page: 

8. Type a new password into the box.

9. Type the password again into the ‘Confirm New Password’ box.

10. Click ‘Continue’.

Once you have completed this process, you will then be taken to confirm your membership information and confirm your declaration to The Scouts.
