Why has Scouts Scotland launched a lottery? 

We think this is an exciting opportunity for adults to support the adventure of Scouting with the added bonus of having the chance to win cash prizes.

Are there any age restrictions?

Yes. Legally, nobody under the age of 16 can play a lottery. And, we strongly discourage the promotion of the lottery to anyone under 18.

What will money raised from the lottery fund?

All income Scouts Scotland receives will go directly towards helping Scouts Scotland develop projects and support to help Scouting reach communities and individuals who would benefit from it the most.

Individual Scout Groups also have the opportunity to benefit, please get in touch with our fundraiser to find out how you can get involved.

Where does the other half of my pound go?

The remaining 50p goes to Unity, the lottery management company, to cover their administration costs and prizes. By working with Unity, we join an established lottery with more than 170 charity members, and it is only with this and it is only through this partnership that we can offer such an attractive prize, with absolutely no risk to Scouts Scotland.

How do I sign up?

Individual players simply sign up online.

Local groups interested in signing up and benefiting directly should phone the Scouts Scotland office and speak with our fundraising department, who will take all the details required including the name of the group you want to register. You will then be given a four-digit code which uniquely identifies your Group and means we can ensure you will receive your share of Lottery money.

This four-digit code should then be used by all your supporters, failure to do so will mean that we cannot allocate that income to your group.
