Many of us are aware of the increased costs of living not least energy costs as they affect individuals and businesses, we may change suppliers, look at heating our homes more efficiently and so on however this major hike in the cost of living does effect voluntary and charitable organizations including the Scout Association and Girlguiding UK because where we own our Scout Huts, we of course need to heat them whenever a session is running.
Some of our huts may be getting on in years and so less well insulated to keep warm air in while if we share as in this area we do a community building, the cost of heating comes into the booking contracts.
Scouting will be recieving some support in meeting the heating costs through the new government scheme which is a bit less generous than the previous scheme.
These are all things we balence to try to ensure Scouting is affordable to all who would benefit, keeping subscriptions as low as we can.
