How much does Scouting cost?

Being run by volunteers, Scouting is incredible value for money and not expensive either. 

Regular Meetings

Parents pay a subscription 3 times a year in line with the School Spring, Summer and Autumn terms.  This covers the cost of regular meetings. 

Subscriptions

Beaver section:	£35 per term (£105 per annum)
Cub section:	£40 per term (£120 per annum)
Scout section:	£45 per term (£135 per annum)

Occasional Events

On top of subscriptions there are one-off fees payable for specific events such as camps.

Example events costs

Beaver sleepover (1 night indoors)	£40
Cub weekend away (2 nights indoor)	£80
Scout weekend camp (2 nights under canvas)	£55
Scout Summer Camp (7 nights under canvas)	£300

Cost of Uniform

The 2nd Norbiton Group necker is common to all sections as are Scout Activity trousers. Total cost £20. Additional elements are as follows:

Beaver sweatshirt	£16.50
Cub sweatshirt	£17.00
Scout shirt and belt	£30.00
Group tee-shirt	£7.00

Group subsidy

If paying for any aspect of Scouting is a problem for you, please speak to a leader in confidence as we will not let this prevent any young person from participating fully.

Leaders pay nothing

Our leaders give generously of their time, skill and enthusiasm. The Group covers all their costs of training, uniform and event fees.
