If a Group considers raising funds by means governed by the provisions of the Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976 and the Gaming Act 1968 or any legislation replacing these Acts, the proposed activity must have the recorded approval of the Group Executive Committee and Sponsoring Authority, if any, and of the District Chairman.

Regard must be paid to the views of parents and to local public opinion. Activities affected by this legislation include raffles, whist drives and similar methods of fund raising involving participation on payment of stakes.

The promoter of any fund raising activity governed by the Acts should be a member of the Group Executive Committee.

Scout Groups in the areas adjacent should be informed of the proposed activity. The fund raising activity should as far as practicable be carried out within the Group's catchment area.

Any advertising material used must conform with the requirements of the Acts and must not contain any matter which is not in strict conformity with the standards of the Movement.

If the Group is a registered charity, this fact must be stated in any advertising material.
