Members are invited to apply for a grant to support international expeditions/trips.
The District Board of Trustees (BoT), formerly the Executive Committee, have decided to offer grants to support Hawk members attending international activities.
The conditions attached to the offering of a grant are as follows:-
- The amount of World Scout Jamboree or World Moot grants is the same for all members attending but will be limited to 10% of the cost of the Jamboree to each individual
- Other international expedition grants will be made at the discretion of the District BoT, each application being considered by the Finance sub-committee before a recommendation is presented to the BoT. These grants will normally be limited to 5% of the cost.
- Grants will be available to adult members as well as youth members.
- Grant applicants must be a member of the Hawk District Scout Council.
- It is not intended that these grants will support group or sectional visits abroad
Process for Application
- Applications should be made on the form below, which will then be sent to the District Chair.
- Whilst timings may vary, the Finance sub-committee will meet and make their recommendations to the next meeting of the BoT. (Normal meetings of the BoT are in February, May, July and September each year)
- Urgent applications can be fast-tracked (contact the District Chair to discuss)
- The applicant will be advised of the outcome.
- Any grants awarded will normally be paid directly into the organising body.
