Payment Policy 2023 – effective 1st March 2023
We will issue an invoice for all main payments to you from the Scout group. Certain events may be made via checkout process using card only.
- Invoices for membership fees and events over £25: All invoices for camps and events must be paid within 30 days of receipt. Participants will not be allowed to attend an event without pre-payment or agreed method of payment plan.
- Event Payment under £25: We will use card payments for events under £25. Participants will not be allowed to attend an event without pre-payment or agreed method of payment plan.
- Making bank payments: Please use the reference number on all event invoices and for membership payment please use the names of the young person as your reference or ideally the invoice number if an event
- Late Payment Fee: If an invoice remains unpaid after 45 days, a fee of 8% will be added.
- Legal Action: If an invoice remains unpaid after 60 days, we reserve the right to seek recovery through legal action.
- Membership Fees: Membership fees should be paid by the 7th of each month at the rate of £18, which is the yearly fee split over 12 equal payments.
- No Refunds: Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds for any payments made for non-attendance. Once committed to a booking or place, payment is expected as we seek to provide the best value for our members. We may be able to swap a member out to cover costs. If this is possible, minus any applicable third party processing fees, we may be able to make a refund.
- Financial Assistance: If you require financial assistance for camps, events, camping gear, or membership fees, please speak to a leader for further information.
We appreciate your prompt payment to help us continue providing quality experiences and resources to our members.
