Budgets?

We are fortunate to have some additional funding available to us for Growing Guiding initiatives and although we do not intend to offer an unrealistically lavish programme, we do not need to be too concerned about costs this year though we will keep careful records to ensure that we have a good grasp of the budget for future programmes.  We may need to buy some start-up equipment which can be used in future programmes.  We have decided not to apply for a new unit grant though it might have been possible.

Girls attending will be charged an equivalent of a term's subs - £36 for the 3 day programme which will offer 12 x 1.5 hour sessions. They will receive some Brownie books, an event T shirt, snacks and drinks. 

We also intend to ask for the 12 month annual subs which will transfer back with the girl when they are able to join a unit, or if they continue with holiday Brownies will be paid in February next year when it becomes due.

The normal costs of using the activity centre facilities, instructors etc. will be credited to the centre.  The expenses for the leaders will be met centrally.
