When your child joins the group you will be sent an email with details of how to pay.
At the current time Subscriptions are £12 per month with a joining fee of £20
We collect the joining fee and subscriptions via our Online Scout Manager system, you will receive an email around the time your child is invested with a request from Go Cardless to set up a direct debit.
The Subscriptions help to cover the cost of insurance of our ‘Meeting Place’ as well as things like badges and materials for activities carried out at their meetings. Some other activities such as camps, will incur extra costs.
In Addition…
During January we have to fulfill the Scout Associations census and pay Capitation for each member of the Group. Failure to pay this, either directly or through targeted fund raising, will result in your child not being allowed to partake in Scouting activities, as Scout Insurance will not cover them.
If at any point paying for either subscriptions, capitation or for activities becomes an issue please speak to one of the Group’s Leadership team.
We can claim the income tax paid on all the monies that are paid to us. This includes money paid for subscriptions, capitation and activity costs. This means that for every £1 paid to the Group we can claim 25p back from the Inland Revenue. In addition to being an easy fund raising method, it means that we can keep costs of activities as low as possible. To enable us to do this though you need to fill in a “Gift Aid Declaration” form, which is available from your leaders. Thanks.
