2027 subscriptions

The subscription for members of Girlguiding Hertfordshire for 2027 will be increasing by £5 to £14. This gives a total subscription of £80. Please remember that subscriptions for 2027 will only need to be paid for girls and not adults. We appreciate that this is a large increase from last year but there will be limited financial support from Girlguiding for units whose invoices are increasing significantly.

The subscriptions information document sets out details of the Girlguiding Hertfordshire subscription, how it was determined and what it will be spent on.

Please note:

• Your division and/or district may have added their own levy on top of this. Please speak to your local commissioner for details.
• Please contact your district commissioner if you need any financial support.

Please note the following important dates:

Wed 22 July: Reports will be available showing the impact of the changes to remove charges for volunteers at all levels, including an example invoice for unit levels to forecast what their invoice would be, based on current data.
