The Scouts UK has been fortunate to receive generous donations from many individuals and organisations to support our work. These donations fund a range of grants for local Groups/Units and individual members who need financial assistance.

If you are starting up a new section or Group in a deprived area you may be able to apply for a grant of £1,000 from the Start-Up Grants Programme to assist with the costs. Details can be found here: https://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/4733

If you have the help of the County Growth and Development Team to open a new section (you don’t need to be in an area of deprivation) you may be eligible to claim a Start Up Grant of £100.  More information about claiming this can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/y4lwfnmg
