Subs are paid through Online Scout Manager at £40 per child per term.
When are my child's subs due?
- Spring term = 1st Feb

- Autumn term = 1st Oct
If payment is not received within 10 days, we'll send a reminder. After a further 14 days, in the unlikely event that payment has still not been made, the child's membership may be ended.
That said, if your family are experiencing financial difficulties, then please-please get in touch via [email protected]. Our discretionary fund which can help with the cost of scouting, but only know there's an issue if you tell us.

My child is new to the group. When do I start paying?
New members to the group get a trial period to check they like it. After your child starts with us, you get an email with instructions on setting up your payments. The first payment will be due up to one month from the start of that term (1st Feb, 1st May or 1st Oct). If your child doesn't want to stay, simply let us know and we can cancel the direct debit before the payment is due. There is no charge if they leave within the first few weeks. If your child does stay, the first payment covers the first few weeks too.
Each member will need a Direct Debt setup for '150th Subs' and for 'Camps & Events'.
When your child moves sections, you'll need to confirm that your payment details are still fine for the new section.
