Any young person aged 11+ is eligible (Scouts and Explorers).

The grant is currently £300 and can be used for an activity or equipment to benefit their Section. Team Leaders can nominate their young people using a simple form.

Please note:

• Full details of costs must be shown
• The total cost of the activity or equipment must be greater than £300
• 2 nominations for expensive equipment or a big activity may be submitted, giving a total of £600 to offset the cost
• The young person should be involved in the decision as to how the grant is spent
• All receipts must be kept for audit purposes
• A young person may only receive one award. If they have one as a Scout they cannot have another as an Explorer
• Award winners are expected to attend a presentation in the autumn

The Jack Petchey Foundation recognises that young people achieve their potential because they are led by exceptional adult volunteers.

The Leader Award scheme is for adults whose primary role is working with Scouts or Explorers.

Grants of up to £1000 can be awarded to benefit the Scouts and Explorers.
