Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with this information, as the cost of membership fees varies from Group to Group- this is something that you will need to discuss with the Group Leader.
Please find further information on the cost of Scouting below…
The costs of Scouting varies between the Groups and depends on the activities that you do. If your Scout journey takes you skiing, flying and travelling overseas, then you’ll probably pay a bit more than Scouts who focus on camping, hiking and theatre productions closer to home.
You’ll generally pay an annual State fee which covers insurance and goes towards Scouts Victoria running costs. Plus there’ll be a group cost which is calculated and managed by your Group. Sometimes the group cost is a weekly ‘subs’ charge and sometimes it’s an annual fee.
Event charges come up from time to time as well. These cover things like food and petrol as well as a range of other expenses, depending on the activity.
In cases of financial hardship, local Groups can often work out a way to have the fees waived or subsidised. Scouts Victoria also offers grants and scholarships for some of the major activities.
