Basilisk Explorers is a not-for-profit group that sits under Waltham Forest District Scouts Charity. All costs are entirely funded by members of the unit through membership fees (subs) and fundraising.
When a young person is booked in to an event or being a member for a term, it removes a space that would otherwise be available to other young people, and impacts the organisation and costs.
When you confirm your young person is attending, you are committing to pay for that space even if your young person ultimately doesn’t attend. If your young person is excluded from attending by the leaders, the cost can be applied as a credit towards future payments
Due to the nature of Scouting, it isn't possible to give refunds to membership fees, events or camps. This is due to the costs involved running evenings, with booking venues and activities, as well as any supplies needed for the event.
