Running Costs

- How much do Membership Term Fee’s cost - Membership Term Fees is a Fee which can be £10 Monthly Instalments, x2 £20 Half Termly or one £40 Full Payment to whichever suits yourself. It works out an average of just over £3.50 per Night based on a child missing 5 Nights thoughtout the Year which is great value for money
- Outgoings: The big cost is the Yearly National, Regional, County, District Membership Fee per Child.. Our other main cost is the weekly hire of our meeting place, plus other costs that include general running of our Scout Group and to support the effective running of our three Sections.
