Subscriptions (“Subs”)
Our annual membership fees are £70 per young person per term. This covers the capitation fee for Scout headquarters as well as the general costs of running the Group. These include heating, lighting, badges, administration and materials for meetings. Subs are payable at the start of each term in September, January and April each year. We aim to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participating in Scouting and so you have difficulties with paying please contact the Group Lead Volunteer. Please see our Opportunities for All page for more information.
Capitation Fees
Capitation fees go towards the day to day running of headquarters, plus personal insurance for each member with a small amount to cover the costs of administration for the County and District. The fees are paid annually by the group at the beginning of each year and is included in the above annual Subscriptions.
Uniform
We are a uniform organisation, therefore all members are expected to wear the correct uniform of their section when attending section meetings and any other activities including camps and outings unless permission has been given for uniform not to be worn. The uniform consists of:
- Group scarf and woggle
- Jersey/Shirt
- Navy blue Scout activity trousers or school grey trousers
- Group navy Polo
- Belt (Scout Section)
The group scarf and woggle are presented to each young person when they are formally invested into the group. Other items of uniform can be purchased on line at the Richmond Scouts shop. We also run a “pre-loved” uniform scheme offering discounted uniforms, more information can be found here.
The Section Team Leader may sometimes ask that Group navy Polos are worn for a particular activity.
All items of uniform must be marked with the member’s name.
