SUBSCRIPTIONS

The annual subscription for the 2025/2026 session is shown below. Like all organisations, Scouting continues to face increasing costs – with the Group’s running costs and our membership fees to UK Scouting increasing.

Subscriptions can either be paid in full at the start of the year or in three termly instalments. If paying by instalment, please ensure payments reach your section’s bank account no later than the dates shown below.

Our preferred method of payment is by bank transfer, please your Section Leader for the bank details for the Section. Please note that each Section has their own bank account, so if making payments to multiple Sections ensure you use the correct bank details for each Section. Once a payment has been made please notify the Section Leader by email.

If paying by cash or cheque please ensure all payments are put in an envelope which is clearly marked “Subscriptions” along with the member’s name and section.

Subscriptions cover:
The cost of running the Section (badges, programme materials and any equipment), in addition;

  • A membership payment to the Scout Association per member;
  • A payment to Clyde Regional Scout Council;
  • A payment to the Scout Group as a contribution towards the running costs and maintenance of the halls and minibus. The majority of our annual running costs need to be met through the funds raised from the Group’s fundraising events.

Please note: camps, excursions and other activities, are not covered by the subscription fee and are charged separately.

At the 29th Glasgow Scout Group, we have a policy of ensuring that the ability to pay is not a barrier to a young person taking part in Scouting activities. If this is the case for your family, we urge you to speak, in confidence, to the relevant Section Leader and we can come to an appropriate arrangement to allow the young person to continue.

Gift Aid

This is a scheme that allows us to recover vital additional money for the Group from HM Revenue and Customs in respect of subscriptions made. We ask that taxpaying parents and guardians of all new members to ensure they complete a form and those of returning members to inform Section Leaders of any recent changes to contact details.

Please ask your Section Leader for a form or download from the link below.
