Fundraising Policy

2nd Armidale Scout Group fundraises for themselves and others. It’s integral to the ethos of Scouting. This might mean fundraising for a charitable cause or hall maintenance and upgrades, or for subsidising membership fees and event attendance or new quality camping gear – opportunities are endless.

Local Practice

• 20% of the profit for all fundraisers conducted by 2nd Armidale Scout Group will be retained by the Group Support Committee to be used as required.
• Fundraisers conducted by 2nd Armidale Scout Group will either be for:
  •  Individual benefit, in which 80% of fundraising profit will be equitably distributed as credit among participating families. This fundraising credit may be used by the families to pay for nominated invoices, as long as they have no outstanding invoices, or
  • Group benefit, in which 80% of the fundraising profit will be retained by the Group Support Committee to be used by them as required.

Group Support Committee Role

Fundraising is administered by the Group Support Committee according to the Authority to Fundraise Procedure.
