and
is now experiencing
an increase| |during the||year||in both external

which
have| |||||included
the

of face

training| |||||weekends,
County
Executive

and Section| |||||based activities
and events.
Furthermore,
it was agreed
that the| |||||centre was in much need ofan improvement
in its digital capability| |||||regarding
CCTV coverage,
Computer
system
and
broadband| |||||facility and the centre
is now
in the process have receiving these| |||||much needed
upgrades.| |||||With

from

International
Scouting
events
are| |||||now
being
resumed.
To date,
two

events
have
been
planned
to Kandersteg
International| |||||Scout Centre
in Switzerland
for the summer
of 2022, one from| |||||Swindon
and the other from Salisbury
and a County
lead Skiing| |||||Expedition
has been planned
for February 2023 to Pila Snowland| |||||in
the
Valle
d'Aosta,
Italy.
Furthermore,
the
World
Scout| |||||Jamboree
Wiltshire
Unit, consisting
of36 young

is well underway
for the summer
of 2023 to South Korea| |||||and
this includes
an overseas
visit to Ireland
in the summer
of| |||||2022 for the purpose
ofa practice camp.| |||||Training
for Adult Leaders,

and Supporters
has been| |||||successfully
delivered
using a combination
of both face to face| |||||and online delivered
training
session
by members
of the County| |||||Adult
Training
Team
and
locally,
within
Districts,
by
suitably| |||||qualified
and
experienced
leaders.
This
training
has
included| |||||mandatory
ongoing
learning
for example,
safety,
safeguarding,| |||||GDPR, Trustee
Introductory
and
First Aid training.
County
lead| |||||face to face training
has taken
place at Wiltshire
Scout Centre| |||||over
a weekend
in
March,
with
a second
weekend
course| |||||earmarked
in
November
2022. As a result
of the
additional| |||||mandatory
training
and
support
offered,
the
number
of those| |||||outstanding
in this training
has significantly
reduced to below 5%| |||||ofthe total adult membership,
with a number
of Districts reporting| |||||0%, ensuring
that our membership
remains
compliant
with
our| |||||Policy, Organisation
and Rules and HQ directives.| |||||In spite ofthe national
lockdown
and restrictions
regarding face to| |||||face Scouting
in place for most of the latter half of2021, Beaver,| |||||Cub, Scout, Explore and Network Leaders from all seven Districts| |||||continued
to deliver exciting and fun-packed
quality programmes,| |||||and therefore
maintaining
regular
Section meetings
using
online| |||||virtual
plafforms,
including
taking
part in The Scout Association's| |||||national
activities and events.
Now that face toface Scouting has| |||||resumed,
youth
membership
has grown
and continues
to grow,| |||||with
many Groups
now reporting
healthy
waiting
lists. The focus| |||||now
is
on
recruiting,
inducting,
training
and
retaining
adult| |||||volunteers
that will enable those young people on the waiting
lists| |||||join Scouting and learn valuable
skills for life.| |C.|Finance review|||| |Policy on||Reserves||The total funds aref882,544 ofwhich F105,756 are restricted

Therefore
at 31"March 2022 the charity
had net| ||||||unrestricted
cunent assets of6242,411.| ||||||The County's
policy on reserves
has been to hold the equivalent| ||||||of a year's
lettings
plus a fund for redecorating
the centre every| ||||||four years and to be able to continue
with our development
work| ||||||on growing
the movement.
However
this year due to the ongoing| ||||||uncertainty
ofwhen we will be able to let again at full capacity and| ||||||also if the purpose
for the lets changes we have set a reserve for| ||||||a reduced
running
cost of the
building
along
with
redecoration| ||||||reserve
and a fund
to get face to face scouting
up and running| ||||||again and this equates to690,000. Any additional
funds
will be to| ||||||develop
the activities
offering made available
at the centre and to| ||||||support
development
and Scouting across the County,
including| ||||||supporting
Districts
and Groups
facing financial
difficulties,
and| ||||||also to support
the return
to Scouting.| |Further financial|||review||The County does not have sufficient funds to invest

656,726 (2021 F48,239). The reduction
in| ||||||income and costs reflects the reduction
of Scouting
activities
