Gilwell Reunion 2023 Grants
11 May 2023
From 1 – 3 September 2023, Gilwell Park will come alive with an incredible programme of activities, workshops and entertainment. Learn new skills that will stay with you for life, find inspiring programme ideas and seek new challenges.
But Reunion is more than just a weekend of programme support. It’s also the chance to connect with like-minded Scouts, make new friends and reminisce with old ones.
Further to our post back in March we are pleased to now release the final details of our Reunion Grant process so that we can support attendance at this event from our volunteers across the district. This funding is available as a trial for the 2023 Reunion event and will be assessed after for future years.
Tickets for reunion go on sale on Thursday 11th May and can be purchased here.
Who is eligible?
To be eligible to claim this grant towards the event, the attendee must have a membership role dated at least 3 months before the date of the event. A membership role is defined by the roles table within POR section 16 as minimum membership. This means roles such as occasional helpers are not eligible. That role must be within Basingstoke East District or one of it’s groups. All getting started training, mandatory ongoing learning and disclosures should be completed at the time of application.
How much is the grant?
We are not able to predict uptake on this contribution so for the purpose of this trial a £400 budget has been agreed by the board of trustees to support this. Therefore up to 50% of each persons ticket cost can be claimed. The exact amount will be determined by sharing the total pot between all applicants after the cut off date to apply which is 30th June 2023.
Can multiple grants be used?
You can use this in conjunction with other grants or contributions, for example your group may also contribute but you must not claim more than the cost of your total ticket value across various grants.
What can the grant be used for?
This grant is towards the cost of Reunion tickets only. The event ticket includes entrance and camping.
The full policy for this grant is available here.
