Every year, in February, Girlguiding asks every member to pay a ‘subscription’ - the money needed to run our charity.This has been collected for both volunteers and girls but will be changing in 2027. Without subscriptions, we couldn’t support volunteers with training, programme materials and other resources, or provide girls with amazing experiences.
The overall sum a member will pay is divided into different charges, or levies. Each level of Girlguiding (HQ, countries and regions, counties, divisions and/or districts) sets a levy to fund the support they provide to volunteers and girls.Together these levies make up the full subscription paid per member. We let volunteers know the annual cost as early as possible so their unit can plan and budget for this.
Below you can find out more about how your 2026 subscription helps Girlguiding continue to deliver our mission for girls. Subscriptions are only half the story - we also work hard to raise money from other sources so we can give girls an even better experience while keeping the subs as affordable as possible.
