Scouting for everyone
Bridestowe Scouts are committed to providing opportunities for all young people to engage with scouting in accordance with the policies of the Scout Association, including the Association’s Equal Opportunities Policy. To this end we provide a Hardship Fund, which is administered in accordance with the guidelines set out below:
- Requests for assistance will be considered case by case on their merits by the Group Trustees.
- Grants are available for termly fees, camps and other events.
- Any request for assistance will be considered on its merits taking account of the personal/financial circumstances of the applicant, the benefit to the young person, how actively the young person participates in Scouting and the extent to which the young person and the applicant actively support the group.
Applications for grants can be made in writing to the Group Lead Volunteer. All such applications will be treated confidentially and the information provided in the application will not be disclosed except as necessary to administer the Hardship Fund in accordance with the above guidelines and the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association.
