Training Bursary Application Form

INTRODUCTION

The Baden-Powell Scouts’ Association is all about developing young people through enjoying the outdoors and learning traditional Scouting skills, supported by a progressive, democratic and friendly organisation. To assist in this goal, the B-PSA has allocated a training fund to promote skills development amongst its members to provide outdoor and traditional Scouting activities.

The fund will be disseminated in the form of training bursaries, which will be applied for by individual members. Bursaries will be awarded on the following basis:

Relevance – Does the proposed qualification provide an activity which we wish the B-PSA’s young people to participate in?

Already Provided – does the B-PSA already fund the activity through other means

Practicality – Is the proposal well thought through? Is additional expenditure needed after the qualification has been achieved?

Applications will be assessed by a sub-committee of the National Committee against these criteria.

SCHEDULE

The Training Bursary runs as a rolling programme – you are free to make applications at any time; we shall assess your application and respond as soon as we can.

CONDITIONS

In support of promoting the Training Bursary, successful applicants are required to complete feedback forms and provide a written and photographic report of their training experience. Such information may be used by the B-PSA as part of promotional material.

Successful applicants are required to commit to the B-PSA for at least two years and provide their activity once qualified.

Applicants with the potential to make a commercial gain from their proposed qualification must declare this during the application process. Such proposals will be considered on their merits for the charity and may be granted in full or in part as per any other qualification. Further conditions may be applied on a case by case basis.

Applicants are required to enter their details into the B-PSA skill database and allow these to be used internally by the B-PSA.
