The Basingstoke East Inclusion Fund is a grant-giving fund to enable adults and young people in financial need to participate in Scouting activities for example attending a District, County, National or international scouting event or help subsidise membership subscriptions.
The Inclusion Fund is drawn from our reserves built up from fundraising, donations and bequests and other sources of funding. Both adults and young people are eligible for this fund.
The District team wish to promote adventurous, innovative, high-quality scouting events accessible to all. The Inclusion Fund endeavours to ensure that cost is not a barrier to young people and leaders in accessing these transformational experiences or Scouting.
