Grants and Funding

Making sure Scouting is affordable to all

Help for individuals

Scouting should be accessible for everyone and finances shouldn’t stop our young people from getting the fantastic experiences that Scouting has to offer.

In many cases, individual groups and units may be able to help individuals with costs of events or uniform through grants, subsidies or payment instalments. Where this isn’t possible, you can apply for assistance from our District or from The Scouts.

Help for groups and units

If you’re opening a new section, undertaking a large project or heading to a large event, help might be available to ensure that as many young people as possible can benefit from Scouting.
