## **GOSPORT DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL**
## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Section B – Structure, governance and management**
The District’s governing documents are those of the Scout Association. They consist of a Royal Charter, which in turn gives authority to the bye-laws of the Association and the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association.
The District is a Trust established under its rules which are common to all Scouts.
The Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Policy, Organisation and Rules of the Scout Association.
The District is managed by the District Executive Committee the members of which are Charity Trustees of the Gosport District Scouts, which is an Educational charity. As charity trustees they are responsible for complying with legislation applicable to charities. This includes the registration, keeping of proper accounts and making returns to the Charity Commission as appropriate.
The Committee meets every two months and consists of three independent representatives, the Chairman; the Treasurer and the Secretary together with the District Commissioner and section representatives.
The District Executive Committee exists to support the District Commissioner in meeting the responsibility of the appointment and is responsible for: the maintenance of District property; the raising of funds and the administration of District finance; the insurance of persons and property and equipment; District Public occasions; assisting in the recruitment of leaders and other adult support; appointing any sub-committees that may be required; and, appointing District administrators other than those elected.
Risk Management
The Trustees have assessed and will continue to monitor the major risks to which they believe the Scout Council is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances and are, at present, satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to major risks.
The main areas of concern are: damage to buildings and property; injury to leaders, helpers, supporters and members; and, loss of income from Scout Shop, District Headquarters and Gang Show.
The District, through the capitation fees, contributes to the Scout Association’s national accident insurance policy. Risk assessments are carried out before all activities are undertaken.
DBS checks are carried out for all adult members of the Scout Association and for parent helpers.
Reduced income - The District is primarily reliant upon income from subscriptions. The District does hold a reserve to ensure continuity of activities should there be a major reduction in income.
The District Constitution was approved at the last Annual General Meeting. It is held by the District Secretary and is reviewed annually.

## **Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Section B – Structure, governance and management** (continued)
Reserves Policy
Gosport District Scout Council’s policy is to hold sufficient unrestricted reserves to enable it to:
- (a) meet the financial uncertainty over the lease of the DHQ.
- (b) withstand any other unforeseen financial setback;
- (c) take advantage of any opportunity which the District Executive Committee considers will benefit the Council and the community it serves.
- (d) provide temporary financial assistance to Scout groups in the expectation of receipt of funding from other organisations.
The Trustees have determined that the appropriate level of general reserves should be, at least, equal to 6 months expenditure of general funds.
## **Section C – Objectives and activities Policy Organisation and Rules Chapter 1**
The Purpose of the Scout Association – Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to Society.
The Values – Integrity; Respect; Care; Belief; Co-operation.
The Method – Scouting takes place when young people in partnership with adults, work together based on the Values of Scouting and in the attainment of the objectives and activities the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit.
## **Section D – Achievements and performance**
Membership – The District has seen a 3% reduction in junior membership over the latest year. Dropping from 754 to 733 over the last twelve months. The recruitment drive for adult members is proving successful with numbers of volunteers increasing slightly over the year.
Assets- the buildings and equipment owned by Gosport District Scout Council have been assessed and procedures are being put in place to monitor usage and value.

## **GOSPORT DISTRICT SCOUT COUNCIL**
## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **Year ended 30 September 2025**
## **Section E – Financial review**
The District made an overall deficit of £565
The Unrestricted funds at the year-end total £138,773 of which £859 is restricted funds total £859 and £96,632 has been designated for the Scout Shop, Gang show and other activities. Thus £41,282 [£3,278 is fixed assets] remains as an unrestricted general fund which the trustees believe is sufficient to cover short-term fluctuations in income and expenditure. The District have been awarded two grants, during the year, from Hampshire County Council for maintenance and decorating of the Pheonix Hall.
## **Section F – Plans for the future period**
a) To continue to provide the governance and management to enable young people to have access to the Objectives and Activities within the Policy Organisation of the Scout Association.
b) Our plan to Support, Develop and Grow continues and will form the foundations for our strategy in Gosport moving forward.
- c) During the next year, the management team will undertake the following:
- Ensure that the District continues to thrive and has the best systems in place to support the groups, to support all adult volunteers in the District and develop Scouting in the District.
- Provide Governance and support to the adults in the District in delivering the Trustees responsibilities
- Support the District Leadership team in delivering their vision for the District and assist with a development plan to meet that vision.
- Support the District Leadership Team to ensure that Scouting is attractive to young people and adults from all backgrounds in the District.
- Ensure the District Board of Trustees support the District Leadership team in providing an exciting program of events and to work together with others to meet the Scouting needs of the area.
- Support the District Leadership team to deliver the County Commissioner vision for Scouting across the county.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
I report on the financial accounts of Gosport District Scout Council for the year ended 30 September 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 17.
## **Respective responsibilities of the executive committee and examiner**
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is, therefore, my responsibility:
- to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- to follow the procedures in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and,
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and,
- to prepare financial accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS**
## **30 September 2025**
## **NOTE 1 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **(a) Accounting framework**
The financial accounts have been set out in accordance with the accounting framework required under the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (SORP FRS 102 updated October 2019).
There were no material departures from these standards.
## **(b) Basis and content of the financial accounts**
The accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost and the accruals concept to show a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial position and activities.
The accounts are expressed in pounds Sterling, rounded to the nearest pound and include all the assets and liabilities under the control of the Trustees of the Charity.
## **(c) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Land and buildings Acquisition information relating to the Council’s freehold land and buildings is not readily available and these premises are included in the accounts at a historical valuation and are not depreciated.
These costs are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful economic life of the assets and the lease term.
Other tangible fixed assets Other tangible assets are capitalised at cost and depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: Electrical equipment 4 Years straight line Other equipment 10 Years straight line Fixtures and fittings 20 Years straight line Acquisition information relating to the Council’s freehold land and buildings is not readily available and these premises are included in the accounts at a historical valuation and are not depreciated.
## **(d) Debtors**
Debtors are stated at the amounts due to the Charity at the balance sheet date. Prepayments are recorded for the proportion of time-based expenditures attributable to the ensuing year.
## **(e) Cash and cash equivalents**
This caption represents the amounts held in bank current accounts and cash at the balance sheet date together with bank deposits on less than 90 days’ notice at the balance sheet date.
## **(f) Liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not to occur under a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to pay out resources. Creditors that are current liabilities are recognised at the settlement amount expected to be paid at the balance sheet date.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS**
## **30 September 2025**
## **NOTE 1 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)
- **(g) Funds**
Grants and donations received for non-specific purposes or general funding are available for utilisation at the discretion of the Trustees and are dealt with through the General Fund.
Certain designated funds have been created by the Trustees to ring-fence resources that are not considered to be readily expendable. See Note 14.
Grants, donations and legacies received for specific projects are treated as restricted funds for use only in connection with the specified purposes as imposed by the donor or trust deed. Deficits on restricted funds are carried forward to the extent that the Trustees are satisfied that future funding will cover such deficits on a last-in-first-out basis.
## **(h) Income recognition**
Income is brought into account when it is more likely than not that the economic benefit will accrue to the Charity.
Grants and donations Grants and donations (including government grants) received without preconditions attached are recognised on receipt. Gifts subject to performance-related or other conditions are recognised when such conditions are fulfilled and all the donors associated requirements concerning them have been complied with.
Gift Aid Tax refunds receivable under gift aid arrangements are recognised by reference to the date of the related gift. Gift aid recoverable on donations to trust and special funds is included in the fund to which the gifts relate.
Legacies Incoming resources from legacies are recognised when there is reasonable certainty that the legacy will be received and the value can be reliably measured.
Investment income Interest receivable is recognised in the year in which it is earned.
Other income Individual amounts classified as other income are disclosed separately if they are considered to be material.

## **NOTE 1 — ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued)
## **(h) Income recognition** (continued)
Gifts in kind and intangible income
Gifts of tangible fixed assets for the Charity's use are recognised as incoming resources on the basis of their actual or estimated value, including VAT where appropriate, at the time the gift is made.
The value of volunteer time is not recognised in the financial statements since there is no measurable cost for their services.
Donated services are recognised as incoming resources insofar as another party is bearing the financial cost of the resources supplied and the benefit is quantifiable and measurable. An equivalent cost is recorded under the appropriate expenditure caption in the Statement of Financial Activities.
- **(i) Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred or a constructive obligation arises resulting in payment being unavoidable or a commitment to pay that is intended to be acted upon.
- **(j) Stock**
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
- **(k) Allocation and analysis of charitable support and administrative charges** All central costs for charitable support and administration are met from general funds.
- **(l) Tax**
The Charity is exempted by HM Revenue & Customs from liability to tax on its operating surpluses and investment income whilst it pursues its charitable objectives.
