Activity permit assessment funding
Assessment course funding
Funding is available for permit assessment courses to get an adventurous activity permit.
This funding covers 50% of any course fees and 50% of travel costs. It does not cover equipment or accomodation unless they are included within the course fee, and does not cover first aid courses as they are not a requirement for holding an activity permit, or activity training courses.
It is not funding for attending National Governing Body courses, unless you will also receive a Scout Association activity permit from the course. In return for this funding, applicants are required to carry out their role of an activity permit holder running activities for a minimum of two years.
Applications for this funding should be sent to Gilwell Park using the application form available below.

Submissions need to include course receipts and receipts for travel costs, including fuel receipts for car journeys (the fuel receipts do not need to be for the amount claimed in fuel, as this will be worked out based on the mileage). Submissions without receipts cannot be paid.
Assessor course funding
County Assessors working within the adventurous activity permit scheme can get funding for:
- Formal training and assessment in qualifications required to carry out the role of Assessor.
- Update workshops required either to retain their qualifications (including first aid) or as required by The Scout Association for all assessors.
This funding covers 50 per cent of any course fees and 50 per cent of travel costs. It does not cover equipment or accommodation unless they are included within the course fee. In return for this funding, Assessors are required to carry out their role for a minimum of two years.
