Paparangi Scout Group offers competitive fees for our Scout programme. If you would like to join the group but find that it’s a financial challenge, please speak to our Group Leader. We aim to provide access for all youth, regardless of a family’s financial situation.
Our fees have been set to enable us to run the Scout program each year. This includes costs associated with the ongoing development of our Leaders, Hall upkeep and depreciation, to ensure we are able to provide a better experience for our Youth. It also provides us with the funds to conduct the necessary maintenance and upkeep of our equipment.

How do I pay?
After you have decided to join our Group, you will receive an invoice for the term. We encourage payment for the term before the due date as this assists us with our running costs. It is also appreciated when making the payment as per the instructions on the invoice.
What is this made of?
Paparangi Scout Group, like all other groups, incurs various costs that need to be funded by our families. We receive no other funding apart from grants and fundraising efforts undertaken by us from time to time.
The first cost incurred is from Scouts Aotearoa; who impose a levy per child that every Scout group must collect and pay. This levy goes towards the running of the national office and promotion of Scouting in New Zealand.
Secondly, as a group we incur various running costs which must be met. The key costs incurred include operational expenses such as insurance, power, phone, badges, and hall maintenance. We collect this through our fees.
If the cost of attending is prohibiting you from joining, please do get in touch with us for a confidential discussion. Our generous Scouting community has resolved this for families on several occasions.
