Subs

How much are subs & using Online Scout Manager?

Subs are currently £45 per seasonal term (Autumn, Spring & Summer).

They are going up to £47 from Sept 2024.

They are payable in the first few weeks of the start of each term. One third of the subs stays with the section for their weekly programme & badges, another third is for insurance with the Scout Association and the final third goes to Northcote towards the running costs of the building which is owned by the 26th Bristol Scouts.

Using Online Scout Manager for subs/activity payments

You’ll receive an email from OSM the very first time you make a payment you’ll need to log into OSM parent area and be asked for your bank details to set up the direct debit. After you have done this the subs payment will be collected from your bank account on the date advised. Then each time a payment is due to the Scout Group for future subs/activity you will be asked to approve it first, before its debited from your bank account. The direct debit system is operated by ‘Go Cardless’ by Royal Bank of Scotland and covered by the direct debit guarantee scheme. Payments will need to be authorised by you each time the Scout Group requests a payment.
