Support Us

Make a donation

Your donation helps us buy equipment, maintain our hall, and keep subscription costs low so that Scouting is accessible to all young people in Forres.

No amount is too small — even a few pounds helps us deliver more adventures.

The annual Forres duck race community fundraising event

Before you pay — about the tip request

We use Zeffy so that 100% of what you pay reaches the group — it charges us no fees at all. Zeffy funds itself by asking you for a separate, optional tip, which is filled in automatically at around 15% and added on top of your amount.

That tip goes to Zeffy, not to 1st Forres Scouts. You are very welcome to set it to zero — we still receive your full amount, and it will not affect us in any way. Look for the tip or contribution box on the payment form and change the amount to £0 or choose “Other”.

200 Club

Our 200 Club is a fun way to support us while being in with a chance to win. It's a monthly prize draw — 50% of profits support the Scout group and 50% goes to the prize fund.

How it works

1 Buy an annual ticket for £30
