Grants
At Hampshire Scouts we believe that everybody should have the opportunity to take part in our activities, regardless of your finances. To help this, we have a variety of grants to make sure that no scout is left behind.
We offer the Opportunity Fund and International Opportunities Fund to support individuals to take part in life changing activities, as well as the Growth and Development Fund to support groups and districts in opening new sections.
There’s also the Adventurous Permit Fund to help you build your skills to support young people, and we ask that Districts or Groups match fund our contribution.
Please do approach your Group or District before applying for a county grant, as they’ll be able to offer more localised support!
