​ We have termly subscriptions known as " subs", for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts , collected at the beginning of the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms. ​ Subscription is between £18- £ 24 per term, £3 per weekly session paid in blocks of 6 - 8 weeks . Payment is due at the beginning of term and is not normally refundable if the young person leaves the group after they have been invested. ​ This meets the cost of: the day-to-day cost of running the Section that your child is in; the running expenses of 1st Southwark Scout Group, including badges, scarves, activities ,upkeep of equipment and cleaning supplies. support from the Southwark District Scouts, and Greater South London County Scout Association, including running events and maintaining campsite; the Scout Association’s annual membership fee, which includes insurance cover for individuals while on approved Scout activities. ​ In addition to the subscription there are additional cost for camps, events, trips and resources which will always be notified in advance and costs always kept to a minimum.

There is a bursary fund available for parents/guardians who wish to apply. Please speak to your Section Leader in confidence. Please fill out and send the bursary Application Form if you need help with subs, uniform or event costs.
