Build a brighter future for young people

From pitching tents to lighting campfires, 4th Newcastle is powered by the support of our amazing community. Every pound you give helps us make Scouting accessible, exciting, and unforgettable — for everyone. Whether you're donating once, giving monthly, or fundraising your own way, thank you for being part of something brilliant.

Why we fundraise

We believe every young person deserves a chance to join in, try something new, and discover what they’re capable of. That’s why we work hard to keep costs low — and why fundraising is such a vital part of what we do.

Your support helps us say yes more often: yes to camps, yes to climbing walls, yes to new kit and exciting activities. Because adventure shouldn’t be limited by a family’s ability to pay.

Every donation — big or small — goes straight back into giving our young people the best possible experiences. Here's how your support helps:

  • 🧢 Membership & Insurance: National HQ fees and cover to keep everyone safe.

  • Equipment: Tents, cooking gear, ropes, craft stuff — it adds up!

  • 🌟 Subsidies: We help cover the cost of camps and activities where needed.

  • 👩‍🏫 Volunteer Training: Keeping our leaders skilled, safe, and supported.

  • ❤️ Inclusion: We’re proud to support families who need extra help.

Young people, big impact

In 2023, our Scouts and Guides didn’t just talk about helping—they made it happen. Together, 4th Newcastle Scouts and 37th Newcastle Guides raised over £1,300 to install a defibrillator outside Jesmond Parish Church. From bake sales to sponsored events, it was grassroots fundraising at its best, proving what’s possible when young people and their supporters rally for a cause.
