There is also a £20 per term charge to cover scout membership and insurance, this is payable at the start of each term, plus weekly subs are £3.50 and are paid in two instalments during each term. (Approx £20 per half term)
Attendance is important for two key reasons
1 - Your young persons ability to gain all of that they can from the programme and ultimately gain badges and awards as they progress. In particular the challenge award badges and Chief Scout awards. Some of the activities required for these awards are only included once a year in the programme.
2 - Our group funds, we pay an annual membership to scouting and insurance for all of our members. In addition we will purchase materials, ingredients and other elements to be used on section nights. If any young person does not attend for 3 consecutive nights or whose attendance drops below 75%, we will contact you to discuss if they still require the place. We do have a waiting list and if attendance is low, then the place will be offered to someone else.
