Uniform, camps, and activities are free, which most people do not know
What it costs
One pound a week, waived on request. Uniform is issued free and returned when you leave. Camps are about six pounds a night.
What happens
Tuesday evenings, plus about six weekends a year. Navigation, first aid, climbing, and a good deal of standing in fields in the rain.
The commitment
Turning up on Tuesdays. Missing weeks for other commitments is completely normal and nobody is dropped for it.
