If you have joined a Scout Group part-way through the year, you will receive an invoice from Scouts NSW on the first day of the month directly after you join the Group.
This invoice will include the one-off joining fee, and a pro-rated charge of the State Membership Fee, backdated to the start of the month you joined through to the end of that financial year.
Depending on your Group, this fee may be covered by your Group. Please consult with your Group Leader or Treasurer to understand the process it has put in place as each Scout Group manages their finances locally on an individual basis.
