In This Issue... • 2 Census - Registration - Membership fees
The Scout Association carries out a census of it’s
members every year so that it has an accurate
record of it’s membership.
It can also monitor trends such as “at what age do
members leave”,”have we been successful with
recruitment”.
It can then ask “what is one Region/County/
District or Group doing to recruit members
compared to a Group that is losing members”.
Registration Hampshire Scout Network All new members (and those who have not yet done so and those without a CRB) MUST register as a Network member using the attached form AND a Form OH (Occasional Helper).
When you join Scout Network, as with all of the
over 18 years members, The Association must
keep a record of you. Name, Date of Birth,
Address and other contact details etc. As with any
organisation it should be able to contact you and
of course you should be able to contact them!
When you register with Scout Network, we in
Hampshire ensure that you are kept informed of
all of the opportunities open to you. (if you know
of someone in your Network that does not get a
copy of the NetNews then please let us know).
When you register you will receive an email or
text to welcome you. When you pay your
registration fee (£10) you will receive:

Membership fees, Network monies The Scout Association & Hampshire County & Hampshire
Scout Network
The 2011 Membership = HQ £20.25 + County £7.25
(there will be a 50p discount for those who pay on
time). As yet no District has charged District subs
to a Network, knowing what a benefit having a
Network based in their District is.
Scout Network members pay monies to their
parent Network’s Account Manager. The Network
Account Manager pays their host District’s or
County Treasurer.
Scout Network members who also holds an Adult
Appointment (i.e. Assistant Cub Scout Leader
(ACSL), Scout Leader (SL)) do not pay the above
fee twice. For them, this fee is normally paid by
their Group or Unit or District.
Network members should also be charged annually
for any running costs budgeted by the Network
committee. Approximately £30 (2011) a year. - This
will differ from Network to Network.
Payment is due by 28th
February of each year - The
total payment of approximately £60, or in the case
of Adult Appointment holders, £27 (2011), is
payable.
Good Practice - Network members should be
charged regularly throughout the year so that
monies have already been paid come 1st
January of
each year. Suggest £1 per week or £5 per month or
pay per term, or quarterly.
