Fees

Fee Structure 

The fees at Mount Stuart Scout Group are set by the Group Committee who have the job of making sure all costs are covered while trying to keep Scouting as affordable as possible for its members. Mount Stuart Scout fees are made up of a Scouts Tasmania Branch Registration fee (of which a large portion is insurance) and Mount Stuart Group fees (to cover the costs of running the program.) 

Camps (and some occasional outings) may incur an additional cost to those who attend but all attempts are made to keep additional charges to a minimum.

FUNdraising efforts occur during the year to keep additional costs to families as low as possible. 

Mount Stuart Scout Group stands ready to help support families who are facing financial challenges, and any request for financial assistance will be considered as Group funds allow. 
The Tasmanian Government also offers the Ticket to Play initiative, which is designed to reduce the cost of active recreation membership and/or registration for eligible children. 

The fee structure for 2023 is as follows:

• Tasmanian Branch Registration Fee: $187 per year (most of this covers insurance)

• Group Fees: $158 per year (this covers hall rental, leader training, and program  and activity costs)

• Total Fees for 2023: $345 per year (registration lasts for one year from start date.)

These fees apply to all Sections: Joeys, Cubs, Scouts, and Venturers.
