At the meeting of the Scout Association Board of Trustees on 6 July 2013, it was agreed that the annual membership fee would remain at £21 per member.

This subscription fee is the amount that local Scouting pays to UK Headquarters for every member. Locally, Groups, Districts and Counties/Area/Regions (Scotland) set their own additional subscription fee for their members to reflect their needs and facilities to help with the day-to-day running of Scouting.

Scouting remains one of the most affordable extra-curricular activities for young people today and we will ensure that it continues to be so in the future.
