The Big Picture
With a budget of over £45,000, managing the trip costs is really important.
The actual cost of a place on the adventure is over £550 per person, but scouts pay just £475. We manage this because our trip to France is supported by our local fundraising efforts as well as from the generosity of local organisations.
In addition, our adult volunteers pay the same fees that young people pay, keeping the cost per person down.
When to pay
£475 in total, paid over 5 months. You could expect to fund raise at least £150 towards this cost.
£50 - before 19th Dec. 2019
£100 - before 31st Jan. 2020
£100 - before 29th Feb. 2020
£100 - before 31st Mar. 2020
£125 - before 30th Apr. 2020

Raising funds
Over half of the scouts who went abroad in 2019 raised over £125 off their fees. We provide some optional events which allow scouts to fund-raise. In addition, there are a limited number of grants available from the scout association to support those in the greatest need and to match fundraising efforts.
