| Subs |
1st Davenham Scouts is funded
solely by Member Subscriptions, Fundraising
and Donations. Members' subs for Davenham Beavers, Cubs and Scout sections
are currently set at £22 per session and have been maintained at this level
for several years now.
We are looking into ways to make the payment of subs
easier such as by standing order or direct debit.
Subs are collected in three instalments over the school year - each of £22
to be paid at the start of each term if payment is not made by half
term then subs will rise to £30. Preferred method of payment is by
CHEQUE made payable to "1st Davenham Scouts" with your child's / children's
name on the back. Alternatively CASH in a SEALED ENVELOPE, again CLEARLY
MARKED WITH YOUR CHILD'S NAME. |

1st Davenham Scout Group is
registered with the HMRC Gift Aid scheme. Using Gift Aid means that for
every pound you give in subs, we get an extra 28 pence from the Inland
Revenue, helping your donation go further. This means that £100 can be
turned into £128, just so long as donations are made through Gift Aid.
Imagine what a difference that could make, and it doesn’t cost you a thing.
So if you want your donation (i.e. subs) to go further, Gift Aid it. Just
click
here. It’s
that simple.
Even if your child is no longer with the Group, we may
still be able to claim Gift Aid back on any subs which you paid any time
within the last six years. Please submit a Gift Aid Declaration and
we will do the rest. Completed forms may be returned by e-mail.
You can find out more about Gift Aid from the
HMRC website
(HM Revenue & Customs), or from the Scout Association
Factsheet.

| How are the subs spent? |
At the end of every financial year,
capitation fees have to be paid to Cheshire District Scout Council. These
fees cover insurance and other costs associated with membership of the Scout
Association. The amount to be paid depends upon the number of members and
adult leaders in the Group. The current year's capitation charge was
£2358.75.
Other significant costs of running the Group include
tents, camping equipment, leaders' uniforms, training and materials used in
the weekly activities (e.g. food, drink and craft materials) room hire.
Please note that all scout leaders are unpaid volunteers. Camps are intended
to be self-financing, paid for directly by those attending camp, but any
shortfall is met from the Group's funds. |
