For thirteen years the Scouts Victoria Monster Raffle has been raising community awareness and funds for Scout Groups in Victoria and in later years, schools and community groups. This campaign has raised over $7 million since it was introduced, with 364 Scout Groups and 64 schools and community groups in Victoria participating in the Monster Raffle in 2019 alone.
In September 2019, Scouts Victoria developed a pilot that would extend the Monster Raffle to a select number of Branches as a proof of concept. Scouts NSW was selected for the pilot due to our size, location and relative simplicity regarding legislation.
Scouts NSW has worked closely with Scouts Victoria to introduce the Monster Raffle to Scout Groups in NSW in 2020, providing a valuable fundraising opportunity for our Groups!
Below are some key details about the Monster Raffle:
- There is one major raffle for Scout Groups, schools and community groups.
