Scout Association fees rise £2 for new YP measures (UK)

[RememberSchiff 3680]

A new inspection team will check if local UK Scout groups are following national policies, while an independent panel of abuse survivors will make sure victims get the right support and counseling.

The Scout Association says the £2 membership fee increase will help pay for what it calls a new UK assurance function. While half of the money raised will be used to invest in the new safeguarding measures, the other half will cover rising operating costs.

It comes after the survivors' campaign Yours in Scouting was highlighted by a BBC investigation.
