Create Your Group
Creating a Group is the first thing you do in Tussock. The Group is your top-level container — everything else (Scouts, events, awards) lives inside it.
- Sign up or log in at tussock.group.
- You’ll see a full-screen prompt: “Name your Scout Group.”
- Enter your Group name — for example,
Ainslie 1storYarralumla Sea Scouts. The name must be at least 2 characters. - Tap Create group →.
That’s it. You’ll land on an empty Roster page, ready to add Scouts.

Section titled “What happens behind the scenes”- Your account becomes the Group Owner. Owners can rename the Group, manage invitations, and remove co-leaders.

Already been invited?
Section titled “Already been invited?”If another leader sent you a join code or magic link, tap “Already invited? Use a code” on the creation screen instead. This takes you to the join flow where you enter the code or follow the link from your email.
