The Jack Petchey Award Scheme

Established in 1999, the Jack Petchey Foundation makes grants to programmes and projects that benefit young people aged 11-25.

Many Districts in GLMW operate the scheme which is a reward and recognition initiative enabling us to celebrate the achievements of our young people as well as receive additional funding.

Contact Sandra Burke to find out if your District is part of the scheme and how to nominate.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
