Membership Fees
Membership fees are due on the first of the month through OSM (Online Scout Manager). Currently, membership fees are £15 per month, which are inclusive of a camp in the Summer Term.
We do not wish for finances to be a barrier to any young person accessing scouting. South West Notts District have a hardship fund, which is used to support families in need of support with the cost of scouting. If you feel you need to access this, please do email info@5thstaplefordscouts.co.uk and we will support you in through the process.
