Regional Development

In Forth Region we are developing work programmes at group, district and regional level based on the following statement:

Scouting is a world wide, values based, educational movement. Scouting is much more than an activity club for young people.

We believe that Scouting succeeds because it is a:

• growing movement – growth in youth membership balanced across gender, age and ethnicity
• youth movement – led by young leaders, supported by older volunteers and an increased field-based professional staff
• focused movement – with fewer larger and stronger groups and with fewer, more focused campsites
• sound movement – with a strong financial base, both locally and nationally
• relevant movement – with strong public perception socially, politically and commercially
• diverse movement – celebrating and reflecting our diverse communities

There is funding available for development activity at all levels – 2 possible grant givers are:

• The Scottish Development Fund – for more information click here
• The Development Grants Board UK – for more information click here

If you have any queries regarding the above or need assistance in filling in an application form, please contact Ea O’Neill, Assistant Regional Commissioner (Development).
