Subscriptions

Subscription Fees are paid termly and are currently:

• £35 – Beavers

• £45 – Scouts

We collect subscription payments through Online Scout Manager, via a Direct Debit. Subscriptions requests will be sent out a few weeks after the start of the term. Discounts are available to the third child in a family. If the subscription presents financial problems please speak in confidence, to your section Leader.

Please consider completing an online Gift Aid form, as it significantly increases the Group’s income.

If you have any queries about subscriptions, please email subs@1finch.org.uk.

Events

The Group’s preferred method of payment for events is by Direct Debit via Online Scout Manager. The first time you are invited to pay Subs or for an Event you will be asked to use or create an account with GoCardless and and then add your bank details for Direct Debit.

All payments will be requested from your nominated payment source automatically. You’ll always receive an email before the payment is taken and you’ll be able to cancel the payment as long as it hasn’t been initiated. You are still covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee.

Bank Transfers

Payment may be made by bank transfer for events. The payment reference must be updated for each event, so the payment can be clearly identified. Please ensure your section Leader is aware you have paid by Bank Transfer.

Cheques

We would prefer not to have to process cheques, as this increases out administrative load. However if you need to pay by cheque, they should be made payable to “1st Finchampstead Scout Group” and passed to your section Leader.
