Fees for Scouts are payable in two parts
Each youth member pays an annual membership fee to their state branch, and group fees paid directly to their local group. From time to time there may be an extra
charge to cover activities or special events such as a camp or Jamboree.
Annual Scouts WA Membership (Branch fees)
This covers insurance, leader training, administration and continual improvements to the Scouts Australia program. This is paid at the date you start your membership and lasts for 12 months. The Branch membership fees are available here: https://scoutswa.com.au/youth-program/
Local Fremantle Group Fees (Group fees)
This fee covers the cost of equipment, supplies, maintenance and general running costs. This is paid directly to the Scout Group in quarterly instalments. For current Fremantle Sea Scout fees, see more information under, Fees and Costs here.
Financial hardship
Both Scouts WA and Fremantle Sea Scout Group does not want financial distress to prevent youth members from participating in Scouting. There are a few options to seek funding. Scouts can access WA Government Kidsport funding https://kidsport.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/kidsport/apply-for-kidsport-1/ . If you need assistance, please speak to one of the Leaders who will be able to discreetly put you in touch with the team that can help.
