The uniform is available from <a href=\"https:\/\/exurbia.com.au\/\">EXURBIA | The Adventure Supply Co<\/a>.<br>134A The Parade, Norwood, SA 5067.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scouting is all about learning new skills in the outdoors. We encourage all our groups to participate in sleepovers, holidays, camps and hikes range from day activities up to three days duration. The cost of these activities is an extra expense; however, you can be sure that we carefully aim to keep the price of such activities to a minimum. Our aim is that each section has at least one overnight activity each term. The cost of these activities varies between Joey, Cub and Scouts sections and also with the travel distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Scout Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A Scout Group is entirely self-funded. The expenses of a Scout Group are various. A somewhat major cost is the purchasing of badges and certificates. (Badges are presented as soon as they are earned and there is no call for parents to purchase their child\u2019s badges).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group must also meet the cost of maintaining the Scout Hall itself and we have the normal water, electricity and insurance bills to pay. Then there is also the initial and ongoing cost of training Leaders and the supply of their uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group\u2019s running costs are mostly offset by the annual membership subscriptions and partly through a small number of fundraising activities throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fees Current as of February 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Youth Member &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $115 per term &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total $460 yearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discount for 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Youth Member&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $110 per term&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total $440 yearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Term Fees Cover the Following<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>South Australia Scouts Registration ($150 per year, $37.50 per term)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><em>Please note this needs to be paid upfront upon joining, and will be deducted from your term fees until you\u2019ve been with us for 12 months; For example you joined in Term 1 2024, you won\u2019t have to pay this again until Term 1 2025 after this it will be invoiced to you as above.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activity Budgets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group Fees \u2013 Hall management and maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Investiture fee&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Port Lincoln Group Scarf Youth&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $22<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woggle &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $3.95<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Record &amp; OAS Book &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $30 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1x Section Record &amp; 1x OAS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Please see our group leader or treasurer to discuss payment plan options.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sports Voucher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the Sports Voucher?<\/strong><br>The Sports Vouchers program is a SA Government initiative that assists families in meeting the costs<br>of their children\u2019s sports and recreation activities. When used with Scouts, the voucher aims to make<br>Scouting more accessible and affordable for everyone by contributing $100 to the Branch membership<br>fee.<br>All children living in South Australia in Reception to Year 9 are eligible for a Sports Voucher each<br>calendar year. Please note, once a Sports Voucher has been redeemed, the voucher value cannot be<br>reimbursed as cash nor can it be transferred to another child. The voucher cannot be refunded back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><br>Parents apply for the Sports Voucher on behalf of their child. The voucher is specifically intended to<br>assist with the Branch membership fee. Scouts SA Head Office staff manage the application and<br>voucher approval process with Sports Vouchers directly. Once approved, the voucher will be applied<br>to the next round of Branch membership fees due for the child. Please check with your Group directly<br>to find out when your Branch membership fee is due so you know when to expect the savings when<br>using this voucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does the Branch membership fee cover?<\/strong><br>The Branch membership fee covers a portion of the cost of essential services and behind-the-scenes<br>operations to ensure members can enjoy Scouting now and into the future. The fee provides services<br>such as volunteer support and administration for members and properties across all Scout Districts.<br>The fee also covers the provision of services such as youth safety, risk management, member services,<br>grant facilitation and processing, training administration, accounting services, financial and statutory<br>compliance, lease management and property compliance, marketing and communication activities,<br>and the management and upgrading of IT systems such as MyScout, our membership system.<br>Furthermore, the fee includes the cost of association fees from the World Organization of the Scout<br>Movement (WOSM) and Scouts Australia levy, and public liability and workers compensation for all<br>youth and adult members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does the Group term fee cover?<\/strong><br>The Group term fee covers a range of essential elements crucial for the smooth functioning and<br>sustainability of the Scout Group. This fee incorporates hall rental fees (where required), supports<br>cleaning and maintenance services, utility and insurance costs. Additionally, achievement pathway<br>badges to recognise and celebrate the achievements of our youth members are included in this fee,<br>along with the activity resources required to deliver an exciting and interesting program each term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head to https:\/\/sa.myscout.com.au\/sport_voucher_claims to claim your Sports Voucher with Scouts SA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fundraising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Scout Groups engage in fundraising for the Group. We encourage fundraising for major events (like attending a Jamboree) through the formation of parent committees for specific events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first three weeks your child can simply come have a look and join in with the activities to see if he or she likes it.
