Financial Support available for Scouting
Gift Aid
Every Group, District and County is a charity and so they’re able to claim 25% gift aid on eligible donations made to them by UK taxpayers. This includes any subscription fees received from parents or carers. The Scout Association has recently published updated guidance on its website providing guidance for registering and claiming gift aid. Details can be found on the following link: https://www.scouts.org.uk/about-us/support-scouts/gift-aid/
