For families with more than one child in the Group there is a discount as follows – €10 reduction for the 2^nd child, €20 reduction for the 3^rd child and €30 reduction for the 4^th child on the annual fee. This fee comprises your child’s individual insurance and registration with Scouting Ireland, insurance & utilities on the Scout Hall and your child’s weekly dues.

Cheques should be made payable to “55^th Cork – Carrigaline Scouting Ireland”. Cash can only be accepted in a sealed envelope with your child’s name and the amount enclosed clearly marked on the outside. A receipt will be issued in both cases.
