It is available for adults and young people who will otherwise struggle with costs.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EInclusion Fund for World Scouting Events\u003C/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Inclusion Fund for World Scouting Events supports those young people and adults who are in significant financial hardship with the costs of attending UK Contingent events. These grants are focused on those most in need, and so relatively few grants will be awarded. We anticipate that due to high demand, not all applicants to the fund will be successful. Meeting the criteria and providing the evidence below will be a minimum requirement for applications.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor adult volunteers who meet at least one of the financial hardship categories you will also need to explain how the event/trip will be negatively impacted for the young people by the inability of this adult to attend. Adult volunteers are considered to be any member taking on a role as CST/CMT, Unit Leaders and IST members; members aged over 18 who are attending as participants will be considered young people. No more than 10% of grant awards will be made to adult volunteers.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOur aim is to support those who are in most financial need attend; so if we are oversubscribed we will also take into account the number of financial hardship criteria that apply to the applicant and the support provided by the Region/County/District to raise funds.\u003C/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EYoung
