How much does Scouts cost?

In Scouts, we don’t want cost to be a barrier to attendance, as such we try to keep costs as low and as accessible as possible.

Membership fees

In Golcar, we have a membership subscription of £24 per term (Squirrels and Beavers) or £30 per term (Cubs, Scouts and Explorers)

Payment is taken 3 times a year, to cover the following time periods, April to July, August to October and November to March.

Our membership fees, cover our building running costs, consumables and meeting night activities. The fee also covers membership of The Scouts, which includes member insurance, and critical central functions like safeguarding, vetting and volunteer services and support.

Activities and Events

Activities and events are paid for separately depending on if the young person wants to attend, however, we always try to keep our costs to a minimum and high-cost trips usually allow for multiple payments spread over a payment plan.

Hardship

We know that living costs have increased significantly over the last few years, this does mean that some members may need support to attend Scout events. If you need support, please speak with the leader team in confidence.
