Who can join Scouts?

Scouts is open to all, and adjustments can always be made locally to make sure everyone can join in the fun. You don’t need to have been involved in Scouting before. If you have any questions about accessibility, it’s best to chat with your local leader as soon as possible. By being upfront about additional needs from the start, parents/carers can work in partnership with local leaders to make sure their young person has the best experience possible. More information on specific adjustments can be found at https://www.scouts.org.uk/accessibility-at-the-scouts/

How much does Scouts cost?

Each group charges a fee (called subscriptions or subs) to cover the costs of running regular meetings – which covers scout hut costs, annual scout membership, insurances, materials for activities and games and badge costs. There are sometimes extra charges for special activities, camps and events. More information can be found at https://www.1stmarkfieldscoutgroup.org.uk/subscriptions-and-fees/
