Glenmore Lodge are now offering additional funding through the Grangers Volunteer Fund to anyone in Scouting who wishes to take part in one of their courses.
The amount payable will depend on the reasons for taking part in the training and priority will be given to anyone taking part in a course for the running of the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
Accessing Scout Permits will also be seen as an appropriate reason for funding and between 20 and 50% of the full cost of the course may be met by the Grangers fund.
This means that with the combined contribution of the Grangers Fund and the Scottish Development Funda total of up to 80% of any course may be covered, resulting in Groups and Districts only having to pay for 20% of the cost.
Application process
There are two options when applying for the Grangers funding:
- If the training is for the purpose of DofE, then application forms for the Grangers Fund are sent to Alex Cumming at the DofE Edinburgh office.
- For all other reasons the forms are sent to Simon Fisher at Glenmore Lodge direct.
Details are on the relevant applications forms in the lefthand colum on this page.
Anyone applying for the Grangers Funds should not send the forms to SHQ.
