How much are subscriptions?
The current annual subscription is £150 per member. This is collected via monthly payments of £12.50 and we ask that this is setup as a standing order with your bank so you stay in control of your payments.
We’ll send you full details of how to do this when a place is offered to join a section.
What’s included in the subscriptions?
This subscription covers:
-
The running of the CCY Scout Group and activities.
-
The annual fee to support our local Scout District and County.
-
The UK HQ membership fee that we’re required to pay into the Scout Association for each member
The subscription only covers our current running costs, it does not allow for any significant maintenance and, as you may be aware, we’re trying to raise funds to renew/improve the Scout hut, so if you’re able to give anything over and above the £12.50 monthly subscription, with the extra being allocated to the building fund, it would be very much appreciated.
What else do I need to pay for?
We offer the opportunity to attend at least one camp per year, and where possible we always try to keep the cost to a minimum. Costs will depend on where we camp, activities we take part in, and of course the food!
In addition to camps, there may also be activities that we take part in that are extra to the programme, there may be times that we have to ask for a contribution towards these costs, with the group subsidising the remaining costs. We will always try and seek out the best price possible based on our status.
Cost should not be a reason for a young person to miss out
Scouting is about everyone being able to learn skills for life and have fun. At CCY Scouts we would never want a young person to miss out due to the cost. If you're at all concerned about covering the cost of our membership fee or any activities, please speak to one of the leaders or email leader@ccyscoutgroup.org.uk in confidence. There are many ways we can support you.
