Victorian Scout Foundation
Support tomorrow’s leaders today
Established in 1985, the Victorian Scout Foundation raises funds to support the work and long term goals of Scouts Victoria.
Income from youth member fees alone cannot provide the financial basis for development, and so Scouts Victoria relies on the work of the Foundation to support its aims and help bring our long-term goals to fruition. Its purpose is to raise money to assist with the development of new and existing Scout Groups, the training of Scout Leaders and much more.
The Victorian Scout Foundation is a capital fund, preserving donations in perpetuity, only distributing earnings to support the work of Scouts Victoria. Therefore membership to the Foundation can make a permanent contribution to the future of Victoria’s youth.
Foundation Membership Levels
The Foundation offers various giving levels for membership as follows:
- Associate $600
- Member $2,000
- Fellow $10,000
- Governor $25,000+
Payment pledges
Donations can be made through a five-year pledge.
For example, a member could become a Fellow by committing $10,000 over five years in five payments of $2,000 per annum.
