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.

No decision has been made on the timing of any future rounds of the Sports Capital Programme.  Any future rounds of the Programme will be advertised in the national press.

Any interested group should register now on as this will be the only way to apply under any future rounds of the Programme.
