Thursday Evening Arriving + Collecting
Arriving: When you arrive all Cubs need to be escorted by an adult to the Ironstone Lodge building entrance door. There has to be a minimum of 3 adults present who are wearing the minimum of a Group necker and are set up and ready to start before any Cubs enter the building.
If the Enterance Door to the Ironstone Lodge building is closed we are not ready to start. The only exception being other Adults who are helping and their children entering the building. We will open the entrance door when we are hopefully ready from 6.50pm.
Collecting: Please collect from outside the Ironstone Lodge building for 8.30pm where we will ensure all Cubs leave with who is collecting them.

Running Costs
- Our Scout Group is a Registered Charity which needs income to support the running costs of the Scout Group. Below briefly outlines what these are. Scouting itself is very good value for money.
- Income: The main Sources of Income within our Scout Group come from Membership Term Fees, Gift Aid and the Scout Christmas Post Fundraiser.
- Membership Term Fees is a Fee which can be £10 Monthly Instalments, x2 £20 Half Termly or one £40 Full Payment to whichever suits yourself.
- We prefer you pay online but will also accept Cash.
- Outgoings: The big cost is the Yearly National, Regional, County, District Membership Fee per Child which is Approximately £60 Per Child.
- Our other main cost is the weekly hire of the meeting place plus other costs that include general running of our Scout Group.
