Administration Fee

The Group Fee contributes to costs associated with the hall insurance, public liability, electricity, rates, rent, stationary, postage, bank fees, cleaning products for the hell, etc. Without this fee our children will not be able to continue with their activities and our den wont be able to function.

Section Fee Fee

The Section fee covers materials, pens, paper, etc used in the weekly meetings.

Queensland Branch Fee

The Queensland Branch Fee covers the members for personal insurance and membership to Scouts Australia Queensland Branch.

When Fees Are Payable

The Administration fee and Section fee will be payable at the beginning of each term. Four payments per year. Queensland Branch Fee is due prior to 31st March each year for renewing Scouts or upon joining after this date.

Money can be paid by cheque and sent to PO Box 369, Palm Beach, 4221 or can be dropped into the hall on your meeting night.

Equipment - No Fee

Palm Beach Scouts have access to a large range of extensive camping and adventure equipment such as tents, ropes, cooking gear and canoes and kayaks. The cost of this equipment is met by community donations and money-raising events. When your child joins Scouts, he or she will be benefiting from the efforts of community over the years to acquire these resources.

Personal Equipment

You will need to equip your son or daughter with items of personal equipment such as a mess kit, sleeping bag, rucksack, sleeping mattress and so on.

It is always worth buying good quality equipment that will last and continue to be suitable for many years. Seek advice from your Section Leader.

Any Worries?

If you have a problem meeting the costs of Scouting for your son or daughter don’t be afraid to have a chat to their Section Leader as there are ways in which we can help you out.
