Where to buy a uniform ?
Butcher Coppice Bournemouth Scout Shop
Online Scout Store
The Group keeps a small selection of second hand uniforms
We also have our own Group t-shirt which you can buy from us or from "myclothing"
Sea Scout Hats
Are available from the Group and are much cheaper than from other sources !
Subs
At Mudeford we charge monthly subs via direct debit (over 10 months)
In 2020- 2021 the costs are: Beavers £12pm, Cubs £15pm and Scouts £18pm
This is not all kept by the Group, some goes to pay for Scouting at Christchurch, Dorset and National level.
Hardship
We are conscious that money can be hard to find for some families. We will never stop a young person from enjoying scouting due to financial issues. The Group operates a hardship fund at the discretion of the Group Scout Leader and Chair. Please contact either of us to discuss any matter, whether it is uniform, subs, activity fees or camp fees.
The conversations will be kept confidential
