🤝 Getting involved

We’re run entirely by volunteers – and we need you!

Our annual subscription covers activities, badges, insurance, and national Scouting costs – but not hall maintenance or equipment. That’s why every family’s support with fundraising events like the Jumble Sale and Nearly New Sale is so important.

Additionally, more adults supporting our programme = more adventures for young people. Whether you’ve got a few hours a month or just want to lend a hand occasionally, your help makes all the difference.

🎯 Complete the 2025/26 Support form by 20 August to let us know how you can help.


💳 Annual subscription

We’re reviewing our subscription for the year ahead. Payments will be set up in OSM from mid-August.

We expect a small increase and will split the annual payment into two half-year payments. We’ll share full details as soon as they’re confirmed.


🚀 Starting back

Section team leaders will be confirming dates for starting back soon.

For all uniform essentials, visit the Glasgow Scout Shop online or in-person. All profits support the running of Scouts in Glasgow.

Please ensure all uniform & personal belongings (including waterbottles) are labeled clearly.
