Payment
How do OSM payments work?
We operate two direct debits via the Online Scout Manager system.
- Annual subs are collected through a Subscriptions direct debit and payments are made in advance at the start of each term. This direct debit is eligible for gift aid and we encourage parents please to tick the gift aid box as this makes a bigger contribution to the unit.
- Paid activities are collected through a second ‘Camps and activities’ direct debit which is signed once when signing up to the first activity. When a scout is signed up to a paid activity, the payment is collected automatically once the sign up date has passed.
Can I cancel an external activity once I have signed up?
We always set a date by which we need final numbers for external events. You can sign up and typically withdraw your scout at any time before this date. After that, while we can remove an explorer from an activity we will not be able to refund any deposit or other payments already made. The reason for this is that after this date we start to make payments to external venues etc which are non-refundable.
While we try to make the sign up date as close to the event as possible, some of the venues that we use have to be booked a year in advance.
How do I contact leaders?
The easiest way is to email leaders@endeavouressu.org.uk. During external events we provide telephone contact numbers for use in emergency.
Can I volunteer?
Yes you can ! There are many ways in which you can help, depending on the time you have available, from being a leader, an occasional helper and in supporting the group through helping to look after our equipment, accounts, admin, even this web site. Just drop us an email.
