Running a Scout group costs more than many people realise.
While our termly subs are £60 per term, they do not cover everything needed to run the group safely and consistently.
Subs help pay for:
- Hall maintenance and bills
- Programme materials
- Badges and awards
- Insurance and essential running costs
They do not stretch to replace worn equipment or to fund extra resources for activities.
That’s where our Amazon Wish List helps.
The list includes practical items we use regularly for:
- Weekly meetings
- Games and challenges
- Outdoor and skills-based activities
- Craft and badge work
- Replacing equipment that has reached the end of its life
If you would like to support the group, you can choose an item from the list and have it delivered directly to us. There is no pressure and no expectation. Every item makes a genuine difference.
Why the wish list helps
Using the wish list means:
- More of the budget can go directly into activities
- Pressure on subs is reduced where possible
- Leaders spend less time fundraising and more time supporting young people
It is also an easy way to help if you would like to support the group but are short on time.
Thank you
Whether you donate an item, share the link, or simply support the group by being involved, we really do appreciate it.
Your support helps us offer young people fun, skills, confidence, and adventure.
