To apply for a Good Turn grant, the Scout should write to ScoutingPlanner.com (by e-mail or by letter), providing answers to the following questions:
- What is your ScoutingPlanner.com username (or your parent's username)? Note: For the privacy of the scout, we do NOT want the scout's name or contact information.
- What scout unit do you belong to? Please provide the unit number, city and state/province.
- What do you want to do for your Good Turn?
- Why do you want to do this Good Turn?
- How much money do you need to make this Good Turn happen?
- How will the money be used?
- If you receive this money, when will you complete the Good Turn?
- Which adult in your Pack, besides your parents, could we contact to get a reference for you?
Guidelines
- Parents -- feel free to offer assistance to your scout, but please let the scout take the lead. The point of this is to help scouts to develop leadership experience. Submissions that are obviously from parents will be rejected.
- The application letter does not need to be long.
- Smaller financial requests are more likely to be approved.
- Please answer ALL of the questions above. Incomplete applications will be rejected.
