Why don’t all groups charge the same registration fee?
All groups must pay the same $130 per member to Scouts Canada, however the individual budgets of each group dictate how much money they require to pay for their program. For example, some groups use schools that charge for use of the gymnasiums, others may have facilities that are available free of charge. The groups must also pay $130 for each leader registration, as volunteers do not have to pay to join the group as they give so generously of their time and efforts to provide quality programs for our youth members. Please note that Girl Guides of Canada is a completely separate organization and we do not know how they set their fees.
