Like all scout groups, Kurilpa Scout Group is entirely resourced by volunteers. It is hoped that one adult per family can volunteer in one role or another to ensure the viability of the group.
What does it cost to join?
There is a “one-time” new member enrolment fee which is charged on a pro rata basis dependent on the month you join.
Subsequently, a membership fee is charged every six months. This is paid to Branch (Qld Office) and covers personal accident and public liability insurance as well as state and national administration costs and National/World Capitation Fees.
Each individual Scout Group also charges term fees to support local delivery of the Scouting Program. Kurilpa Scout Group charges $60 per child per term. The term fee reduces for each succeeding child.
Scouts Queensland is a FairPlay voucher activity provider. Parents, Carers or Guardians can apply for a voucher from the Government valued up to $150 for their child, which can be used towards sport and active recreation membership, limited to 1 voucher per child per calendar year.
Overnight activities, camps and major events are charged separately to meet costs.
Kurilpa undertakes fundraising activities during the year to help us keep costs low.
