FAQs
How much does it cost to be a member of 1st Eynsford & Farningham Scout Group, how do I pay and what do I get for my money?
The cost is £50.00 per term. We run 3 terms per year - January - Easter, Easter - Summer Holidays and September - December.
If you have trouble paying the subscription please talk to your child's section leader in confidence and we will arrive at at mutually agreed solution.
Fees cover hall heating, electricity & maintenance, hall insurance, insurance for Leaders, young people and equipment on all activities, the cost of Scout Headquarters and the support we get from Kent County and Swanley District. It also covers equipment, consumables and refreshments.
All leaders and administrators are voluntary and do not receive any payment. Leaders with children in the Group pay the same subscriptions at the same rate as everyone else.
What about uniform?
Scouting is a uniformed organisation. All members are required to wear uniform for Squirrel, Beaver, Cub and Scout meetings, when arriving and departing from events and for parades. All members should take pride in their uniform and do their best to look after the uniform and to look smart. They are not expected to wear a uniform until they have been 'invested' (officially joined). The uniform is available from many local stores.
For more information on uniform please see the Scouts website.
