Annual Accounts for the Year Endin
31st March 2025
The Annual Accounts for Mid Cheshire District Scout Council for the year ending 31st
March 2025 are attached herewith. These have been independently examined and
approved, and l once again extend my thanks to Mr A Hudson who has completed these
duties.
Total funds for the District increased during the year by £3,385.29 to a total of £46,654.85.
It should be noted that £8,618 of capitation income was not received, and will be included
in the year ended 31st March 2026.
As always, the most significant transactions in the period related to capitation, with
£47,965 being paid to County and £45,107 received from Groups, noting the unpaid
element raised earlier. As always, I would like to thank the support of the Groups across
the District for their support in timely payment of their capitation charges.
The accounts for the year include monies in relation to the trip being organised to
Norway and at the end of the year a balance of £4.5SS was held in relation to this
activity.
