Subscriptions

Subscription Information

The subscriptions payable to the Group are to cover the costs associated with running a Scout Group and go towards:

  • Membership payment to The Scout Association
  • The rent for the use of the Church Hall and facilities
  • Admin and establishment expenses (insurance, printing etc.)
  • Badges

The cost is £102.00* per child/per year and is preferably payable by Standing Order of 12 monthly payments of £8.50.  Alternatively subscriptions can be paid at the start of each school term at a cost of £34.00 per child/per term.

* Please note that Subscriptions may increase during the Scouting year
and that you will be notified of any increase at the earliest opportunity.

Hardship
It is the Group's policy that no child should be excluded because their family is experiencing financial difficulties.  Please contact the Group Scout Leader or Chairman, IN CONFIDENCE, if you are finding it difficult to meet your child's Scouting costs.

Gift Aid

If you pay Income Tax, then the Group can claim Gift Aid, set against the tax that you will have paid on the amount of your child/childrens subscription. It means that we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give, at absolutley NO COST TO YOU

So, for your £102.00 per year subs.......
we can claim an extra £25.50 back from HMRC

The Gift Aid scheme increases our income and more importantly helps to keep down the cost of Subscriptions. 

It is important that you tell us if you don't pay Income Tax.
