A Guide go-kartingGirlguiding UK sets a subscription which is agreed on an annual basis. In addition, a further subscription may be set by the:

The annual subscription is payable by all members and prospective members. No member pays more than once. For example, if a member has more than one role they will only pay the annual subscription once, usually at the most local level.

The money collected via the annual subscription benefits guiding at local and national levels.

It covers necessary running costs and ensures that we meet the needs of our members at all times.

It also finances:

  • the development of resources for girls and adults
  • insurance for all girls and adults for all guiding activities, including unit meetings
  • training for adult Leaders
  • support for Leaders and recognised volunteers.

The annual subscription may be collected in various ways. Some units charge higher regular subscriptions throughout the year to cover the fee. Some ask for it to be paid annually (on 22 February). Some may charge new members a joining fee.

In cases of hardship, the Unit Leader and the girl's parents will discuss the situation and agree a solution.
