We have a fund to help support young people and adult members who are finding it difficult to afford Scouting.
All Groups, Districts and Counties/Areas/Regions can make an application for members struggling with the costs of Scouting. The fund was created to ‘support members, individuals and Groups, focusing on areas of community development, particularly new Groups in areas of deprivation.’ It helps support:
We cannot fund membership fees
We cannot fund wood badge training
NB: Please be advised that core camp costs such as food, camping fees, and Scouting activities may be covered by the fund; clothing will be covered only where it is required to identify members as part of the Group. Costs such as theme park trips, donations to other organisations (where not related to a service provided for the event) and contingency will not be covered.
Similar to disclosure checks, we now ask for applicants to review evidence which will determine eligibility for these grants locally. For more information click here.
