The subscriptions for 2011 are:
Beavers | Cubs | Scouts |
£120 | £137 | £165 |
From this we pay a 'capitation fee' of £42.75 to our District for each Beaver, Cub, Scout, Leader, Assistant Leader, Skills Instructor, Helper and Committee member to cover insurances etc and our membership of the Scout Association. The balance of the subscription pays for all maintenance and bills of our building, equipment, badges, and boats and many of the activities for our members.
Like other charities, Batchworth is entirely dependent on volunteers for leadership, fundraising and for maintenance of buildings and equipment. Everyone gives their time on a voluntary basis and no one in the group is paid. The ethos of volunteering is critical to the success of the group.
We need your help and your time for fundraising (jumble sales, the May Fair, quiz nights,etc), for maintaining the building and equipment, including cleaning, and leaders and helpers in all the sections.
If a UK taxpayer please Gift Aid your subscription if you have not already done so. If you have any queries regarding your subscription please telephone Deirdre Edwards on 01923 771626
