Over the years The Scout Association has been extremely fortunate to receive generous donations from many individuals and organisations who wish to support our work at a national and local level. The result of these donations is that there are a range of funds available, particularly to support local groups/units and individual members who require financial assistance in undertaking their scouting.
Grants are available for:
- Opening or re-opening new sections
- Starting a new group (min. two sections) in a recognised area of social deprivation
- Local development planning events; capital equipment for promoting Scouting; adult recruitment events; youth recruitment events aimed at the cub and network sections; training adviser recruitment and retention
- Employment of local development staff
- Non-wood badge leader training; capital equipment for the delivery of adult training; young leader training; activity assessor training and assessment; activity permit assessments; DofE assessments; trustee/executive training; trainer training; minibus training and assessment
- Air and sea scout training and capital equipment purchase
- Support for members 'in financial hardship' - volunteer expenses, uniforms, camp and activity costs
- Members with special needs and the development of special needs scouting, including small scale building works to ensure accessibility for all
Deadline: Applications can be submitted any time but must be at least 6 weeks before the event date.
