LONSDALE DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL 

Scouting in the Lancaster City Council area.

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
