The subscriptions cover the costs of activities at the weekly meetings, including materials used, equipment, food and drink as well as paying for the upkeep of the building and other associated expenses. It also includes a membership fee to the Scout Association that has to be paid by all members of the Scouting movement which provides a basic level of insurance for Scouting activities.
We currently charge £43 per term, payable preferably by bank transfer to the group at the start of each term. Your section leader will let you know the details for making the payment. Please speak to your section leader if payment by bank transfer may be difficult for you or you are not going to be able to make a subs payment on time.
Extra-curricular activities, trips and camps are an important part of Scouting and cannot always be covered by subscriptions, so an additional charge is often required.
