Welcome to The Eric Frank Trust

We are about helping young people develop themselves based on the educational principles and values that underlie The Scout Method – progressive self-education against values summarised within a ‘promise and law’ and achieved through ‘learning by doing’ within small groups particularly in an outdoor environment.

We do this by funding projects within organisations which help empower young people to develop the leadership and social skills necessary to contribute constructively to their society.

We also encourage debate and research on ways to help and educate young people to meet the challenges facing them in today’s society.

At present the Trust will favour particularly project proposals which assist young people to cope with the necessary changes in their way of life as we emerge from Covid or face the tragic circumstances of conflict.
