Under the Sports Capital Programme funding is available for projects that are sporting in nature.  In making an application, any organisation would need to make clear the sporting content of their proposed project.  While some SCP applications from scout troops have been successful in receiving funding, other applications from scout troops have been considered to have little or no sporting content.
