What does it cost to join Scouts?
This can vary from group to group. Presently the fee for all Sections of Cessnock City Scout Group is $55 per term. This covers insurance and the cost of badges, scarf, and weekly activities. Camps and other events may incur additional fees to cover meals, transport, camping fees, etc. These costs are usually advised well before the event, with attendance at the event optional. Large events such as Jamboree, Cuboree, etc, that can attract a significant fee will often be preceeded by fundraising activities to help pay these fees.
