Cubs and scouts
About us
1st Rivertrail Scout Group is a vibrant gathering of Cubs and Scouts, led by enthusiastic Scouters, Rovers and parents.
We meet every Friday night (16:30-18:30 – Cubs, and 18h30-21h00 – Scouts) at our Scout Hall on the banks of the Braamfontein Spruit at The River Road in Bryanston, Sandton, Johannesburg. 1st Rivertrail is a member of the Sandton Scout District.
Our group is mixed, meaning both boys and girls can be members.
If you are interested in joining our group, please head over to our Contact page and get in touch!

We would love to hear from you.
History
The first Rivertrail Scout Group has been in existence since the late 1970s, and has a proud heritage in the Bryanston area.
We are a member of Scouts South Africa (SSA) and of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). There are over 30 million members of WOSM worldwide in 161 countries. The headquarters of WOSM are in Geneva, Switzerland.
Membership
1st Rivertrail Scout Group is open to boys and girls, aged 7-10 for Cubs and 11-17 for Scouts.
There is a waiting list for our Cub group, but we do move through it fairly quickly and we encourage you to get your child’s name on the list as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and delays.
Once you have spoken to either the Akela (Cub Group Scouter) or the Troop Scouter (Scouts), he will advise you as to how to begin your child’s journey through Scouting! Your child be invited to attend several meetings at either the Cub or Scout group, where they can decide if Scouting is for them.
Only once they have shown their enthusiasm to join, will you need to purchase a uniform from the Scout Shop in Bramley (see our Uniform section for more information). Your child will then be invested as either a Scout or Cub.
