The Trust aims at helping “to advance education, including education in leadership skills, and to advance young people in life with a view to helping them become more responsible citizens” and invites National Scout Organisations to submit project proposals. Successful applications will in general be awarded up to GBP 30 000.

The attached WOSM Circular 18/2011 contains background information (in English and in French) about Eric Frank and lists detailed criteria for funding applications. Additional information is also available on the Trust’s own website.

Individual members of WAGGGS member organisations interested in contributing to this work of the Region while gaining knowledge and skills that can strengthen their volunteer and professional profile are called to send us their application.
